Fortnite: Niesamowite wydarzenia z NPC wzbudzają zdziwienie w społeczności graczy

Fortnite, the popular online video game, has recently witnessed some astonishing events involving Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) that have left the gaming community in awe. The incident, captured in a Reddit video, showcased how a player was eliminated by their own hired NPC during a Duo Zero Build match in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1. This unexpected turn of events has sparked discussions and highlighted the unpredictability of NPCs in the current version of the game.

NPCs in Fortnite have become a focal point of conversation, especially in Chapter 5 Season 1. While they are often innocent companions during gameplay, the introduction of new Cluster Clingers has brought an additional element of chaos to the game.

The video begins with the player, u/Ok_Rip_3703, leading a Fortnite Zero Build match with their duo and engaging in a battle with opponents. Armed with the mystical Nisha Striker AR rifle, u/Ok_Rip_3703 manages to eliminate an enemy who attempts to defend themselves with a ballistic shield.

After incapacitating one of the opponents, their partner rushes towards u/Ok_Rip_3703, forcing them to take cover behind the ballistic shield. The two players exchange shots, and u/Ok_Rip_3703’s hired NPC, Mecha Team Shadow, starts throwing Cluster Clingers to assist in the fight. The NPC manages to eliminate the enemy but also ends up eliminating themselves by using the explosive charges. However, this triggers a chain reaction.

Before u/Ok_Rip_3703 could even celebrate, they are eliminated by a series of explosions caused by grenades thrown by the hired NPC right after its demise. The Fortnite community quickly expressed their interest and confusion after witnessing this incident. While some players were puzzled, questioning how and why u/Ok_Rip_3703 was eliminated, others offered explanations. Some even shared their own stories of hired NPCs ruining their gameplay.
