Fortnite camper gets wrecked by balloon in hilarious fail
A Fortnite camper who used a hot air balloon as their vantage point uploaded footage of themselves getting owned by the very same balloon.
Camping remains a problemin most online shooters, with players hiding in tough-to-spot locations for long periods of time just to ambush unaware passersby.
Of course, Fortnite players are no strangers to such techniques. Each new chapter and map boasts hiding spots that more or less serve as hunting grounds for campers.
On some occasions, though, these special locales turn against users, effectively turning hunters into the hunted.
Hot air balloon teaches Fortnite camper a lesson
Redditbean_and_cheeserecently shared a warning message, telling Fortnite players to “stay away from balloons.” The PSA comes with a 30-second video clip, which doesn’t exactly work in the Redditor’s favor.
Notably, the first half of the clip shows the users camping atop a balloon. While they’re trying to get into a good position to pick off unaware players, the storm closes in and forces the Redditor to move at a moment’s notice.
Said movement resulted in them falling inside the balloon and dying instantaneously – hence the warning.
Most people in the Reddit thread don’t think the original poster warrants consideration as the victim in this scenario. Some argue they “deserved that” for camping.
Meanwhile, others were quick to make jokes. “Got Ballooned,” one person wrote of the ballon sniper’s fate.
If the above does constitute a warning, it’s that balloon campers in Fortnite should probably avoid sharing their losses online.
