Fandom or Fail: An Unexpected Fortnite Adventure
Redditor’s Failure with Anvil Rocket Launcher Ignites Fortnite Community’s Reaction
In a video shared on Reddit, user u/PeterHR0 showcased a solo gameplay in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1. During this gameplay, the player was chasing an opponent who was attempting to escape in a Whiplash. Unfortunately, their plan turned into a comedic adventure when they tried to use the recently unlocked Anvil Rocket Launcher.
Introduced in Chapter 3 Season 2 as a response to the addition of tanks in the game, the Anvil Rocket Launcher failed to become a popular item to carry, and u/PeterHR0’s funny mishap perfectly illustrates why.
The Reddit video showcased u/PeterHR0, clad in the iconic Meowscles skin from Fortnite, chasing down an opponent fleeing in a Whiplash. As the player was on foot, they couldn’t realistically catch up to the fast car, so they had to think quickly and make use of the Anvil Rocket Launcher they had in their inventory.
The recently unlocked Anvil Rocket Launcher in the Fortnite v28.10 update provided u/PeterHR0 with a quick and easy solution to immobilize the opponent. The player took aim and fired a rocket towards the player in the car. However, the aiming reticle wasn’t fast enough, and u/PeterHR0 prematurely released the rocket, sending it soaring into the air. While the player continued the pursuit, the randomly trajectory rocket circled back and eliminated them.
The Reddit community found humor in this lighthearted mishap of u/PeterHR0’s adventure, and other players joked in response to the video. Some likened the moment to returning a package to the sender, while others compared it to cartoon characters like Wile E. Coyote and called for a potential Fortnite and Looney Tunes collaboration.
One community member expressed that what happened reminded them of a Uno Reverse card situation. Another remained confused about how to effectively use the Anvil Rocket Launcher in the game.
Here are some notable reactions from the community:
The Fortnite landscape is often defined by intense and fierce battle royale victories. u/PeterHR0’s unintended elimination with the Anvil Rocket Launcher highlights the lighter side of the game. The video demonstrates that the charm of this game lies not only in competition but also in unexpected moments of humor.
