Fortnite players, unfortunately, know all too well the excruciating pain of chaining shot after shot of missing everything, even after having set everything up for a stellar snipe. What is much more likely to be wondered about, however, is the fact that it is an online viral clip showing everyone what could have been had such a crazy snipe ever actually connected.
The tweet, posted by a fan of Fortnite, captures an insane sniper attempt that resembles its coming straight out of some montage since the bullet by a fraction flew beyond the target just try to visualize that might have been-like hit. Pure agony for anyone who ever thought he aligned a perfect shot-missed-with it.
No replies till now; bet your bottom dollar that every comment would have made a beeline for two or three classic lines, ‘F in the chat,’ and so close yet so far. Every gamer has those moments of close but no cigar, as what they refer to when they missed by a hair. How do you even deal with that? One pixel to the left; it’s instant highlight. Right? One pixel to the right; another missed shot.
Fortnite sniper mechanics have always been a mix. Some days you would pull off the no-scope at a distance of 200 m, and at other times the bullets would take a holiday. This clip is the classic example of how unpredictable the game is at times, and how ruthless it is.
Admit it: That if the shot had actually been scored, there would have been a million reposts at this time. Just because it didn’t makes it that much more memorable. Gamers love real and near misses in equal proportions. That’s the sort of clip that would have someone yelling at their screen, whether it is you who is actually doing the playing or the one merely watching.
Next time you miss what should have been an easy shot, know that you’re not alone. The Fortnite gods give and take away-or rather, leave you hanging quite often in the most agonizing way possible.
But it definitely makes for an interesting story, or in this case a tweet that had everyone dreaming about what might have been.
