Gracz Fortnite osiąga perfekcję, ukrywając się w nowo wprowadzonym kartonowym pudełku

In a surprising and humorous moment, Fortnite player u/RubysRendition left the community in awe by securing a Royale victory using the newly introduced mythic cardboard box to hide from enemies. The interesting moment was captured in a Reddit clip posted by u/RubysRendition, showcasing their experience in a solo Zero Build match in Chapter 5 Season 1.

The cardboard box was recently added to Fortnite with the v28.10 update for Chapter 5 Season 1, marking the first update from Epic Games after a 40-day hiatus. This new mythic item was introduced to celebrate the appearance of the Solid Snake skin in the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass.

Functioning similarly to the Cardboard Stealth from Chapter 2 Season 2, the cardboard box allows players like u/RubysRendition to execute clever plays, as demonstrated in the clip.

The clip shows u/RubysRendition in a 1v1 situation, hiding from the enemy inside the newly introduced item – the mythic cardboard box. As the storm circle shrunk, the opponent desperately searched for u/RubysRendition, completely unaware of the random cardboard box in the open space.

While the opponent tirelessly scoured the area, completely oblivious to u/RubysRendition’s strategy, the player could patiently wait inside the cardboard box. At one point, the opponent stopped in their tracks and turned around to check a cliff, suspecting their enemy’s presence, unknowingly providing u/RubysRendition with the perfect opportunity.

In a scene reminiscent of classic spy films, u/RubysRendition took advantage of the opponent’s distraction and emerged from the cardboard box, donning the Solid Snake skin. With the excellent vantage point provided by the opponent’s position, u/RubysRendition quickly aimed and delivered a precise headshot, securing the Royale victory.

The Fortnite community erupted with applause and laughter upon witnessing u/RubysRendition’s incredible gameplay. Players not only admired the player’s creativity but also mocked the opponent’s unawareness. Many made references to iconic elements from Metal Gear Solid, drawing analogies to Solid Snake and FOXHOUND’s fictional special forces missions.

Some players couldn’t contain their laughter at the opponent’s inability to notice the cardboard box, despite it being a new addition and not blending seamlessly with the surroundings. Here are some of the most notable community reactions:
