In Fortnite, there should be a small event at Risky Reels every hour. After the cinema event was removed and then brought back, our author Eilyn Rapp wanted to be there herself, but unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned.
What is this event? This “event” is actually a collaboration between Fortnite and Quibi, a streaming app.
During this event, an episode of Punk’d should be shown on the screen at Risky Reels at the top of every hour. In this show, the rapper: Chancetherapper pranks other well-known personalities.
Players just can’t behave
What is the problem with this event? After seeing the announcement for this event and the special limited mode becoming available again, I wanted to watch the episode myself.
I started a match and flew directly to Risky Reels. It was set to start at exactly 9:00. I looked for a good spot where I could watch.
The Star Wars event also took place at Risky Reels and was even modified for it:
As soon as the episode was displayed on the screen, the problems began. My dear teammates built themselves up in front of the screen, blocking the view.
At first, it seemed like they just wanted a better view. But after a few moments, they built up the screen so much that you could hardly see anything.
I tried to ignore the whole situation and positioned myself so that I could at least see part of the screen. But unfortunately, that was not enough.
Soon, players also threw smoke grenades, which were actually put into the vault exactly two years ago on April 11, 2018, in front of the screen, completely blocking the view.
Since I found the episode quite exciting and funny, I tried to get up to see over the built structure. But even that was not granted, as a teammate threw an ice grenade at me and I slipped to my death.
At some point, the episode abruptly stopped, and I didn’t even know if it had ended or been interrupted because the whole screen was blocked.
So here is a huge thank you to all my teammates who couldn’t hold themselves together for just 5 minutes and ruined the event for me. I’m sure you had a lot of fun.
The event is struggling with problems
Not only the players who built everything and spoiled the event for others caused problems.
Shortly after the event started yesterday on April 10, Epic had to disable the special mode for it.
Epic worked on a solution, and this morning the mode was back in the game. Now at 11:00, the mode is again not displayed and seems to have been disabled again.
I hope that such things do not happen during the live event of season 2, which is supposed to have an apocalypse theme, and that it can be enjoyed in peace.
