Player Sets Fortnite Solo Kill Record During Rocket Launch
By Nicholas Barth ·
One Fortnite player decided to take advantage of a very large group of people watching the one-time rocket launch event and was able to set the Fortnite solo kill record.
Saturday, June 30th saw the one-time only event of the Fortnite rocket launch take place, and it did not disappoint as players were treated to a wild spectacle that caused some interesting and mysterious changes to the map of Fortnite at the end of Season 4.
With the Fortnite rocket launch being a one-time only event that the community could watch live, there was a sense of understanding from the community that there would be no fighting in order to allow everyone to get to watch the rocket launch event unfold.
Unfortunately, for one viewing party of the Fortnite rocket launch this was not the case, as their peaceful watching was ruined by a player named Elemental_Ray who knocked down the viewing party's skybase.
Player breaks solo kill world record by ruining a rocket launch viewing party (48 kills) from r/FortNiteBR
This resulted in Elemental_Ray obtaining the Fortnite solo kill record with 48 eliminations awarded to him from all of the players falling to their eliminations.
The new owner of the Fortnite solo kill record is not a player that many would most likely be expecting to take the crown, as Elemental_Ray only has a 0.47 kill to death ratio entering the match that played host to the rocket launch.
Now the player can claim the title of the owner of the solo kill record where the likes of Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, Team SoloMid player Ali "Myth" Kabbani or FaZe Clan player Turner "Tfue" Tenney can not. However, the way that Elemental_Ray achieved the solo kill record will likely not be impressive to the vast majority of the community.
The rocket launch event was a historic day in the world of Epic Games' popular battle royale title from making incredible landscape alterations to the map to an unknown player setting the Fortnite solo kill record all at the same time.
Do you think that Elemental_Ray should be able to keep the Fortnite solo kill record or should Epic Games not allow it due to the circumstances of how he obtained the record? Let us know in the comments below!
