Fortnite, and especially its battle royale mode, has been a great source for memes since its release back in 2017. Inspired by its gameplay, and from some of its best seasonal events, multiple great memes have been created.
With some date back to its initial release in 2017, structured around iconic locations like Tilted Towers, others are freshly made based on the new season and the alien vibe. Either way, both old and new memes can make even haters of the game laugh out loud.
The Pressure Is Real
Every player can remember the first time they were on a 1v1 and their heart was pounding like crazy. For most, this didn't happen only on their first time, but in almost every similar situation.
The stakes are really high and the pressure is real when there are only 2 people remaining and they have to fight each other, especially when they don't know where each other is.
Landing At Tilted Towers
Tilted Towers, as well as its most recent variations, have always been considered one of the most infamous and dangerous spots in the game.
Unless the player manages to really pop off and kill everyone, landing in Tilted Towers usually has only one end, and that is death. Only the toughest can drop at Tilted Towers and consistently survive, so that's one way to gain the respect of others.
1v4 On Squads
One of the situations that all players who've played squads have been in is a 1vs4 situation. These are almost impossible to clutch, especially by facing the enemy team head-on.
So the most common approach followed by players, as shown in the meme, is hiding. Even if there is only one bush in the zone and it is really obvious where the player is hiding, it is always worth the try.
Getting One-Shot By Pump
Probably one of the worst feelings in the game is landing Tilted Towers, popping off, and being ready to leave with a scar, one of the most powerful weapons in Fortnite, but then dying with one shot to someone with no shield who only carries a pump shotgun. Having to go back to the lobby after a great start really feels bad.
Of course, then next time in Tilted Towers the player won't have the same luck in finding equipment and will probably die instantly. That's a Feelsbadman.
Tilted Towers In Real Life
Living in the neighborhood of Tilted Towers and being able to climb everywhere would be truly amazing, although one would have to really deal with the noise and the havoc that is always present.
Now having Fox News confuse the infamous Tilted Towers with a real-life location would be hilarious, although most fans can probably guess that this never actually happened.
Wailing Woods Chest
Back in the day, when the map hadn't changed much, Wailing Woods was one of the best landing spots for solo players, not due to having many players, but because of its' little to no chests.
Specifically, there was only one chest, and everything was fine if only one player landed there, but there were occasions where 3 or 4 landed on the same spot. Whoever got the chest, probably ended up winning the fight.
Fortnite Vs. PUBG
It is impossible to talk about Fortnite memes without referring, at least once, to its greatest competitor during launch, PUBG. There was some kind of enmity between the players of the two games since they were constantly arguing about which one was the best.
Nevertheless, PUBG released a few months before Fortnite, so perhaps some elements in Fortnite were inspired by PUBG's early success.
Getting a Scar
Although now there are multiple new weapons in Fortnite, a few seasons ago, the scar rifle was considered one of the best weapons in the game, and if a player got one they were especially lucky.
Nevertheless, if there were other ways to get their hands on one, players would even enter the infamous horror movie sewer. Sometimes it really is all about the loot, especially when talking about a scar which can almost surely lead to a victory royale.
The Faster Builder Wins
One of the most common occurrences in the game is a 1vs1 fight and it usually comes down to who can build high the fastest.
Although it usually ends the other way around with the player shooting the opponent once and then watching them build a 5-star hotel within 5 seconds, there are cases where the player is actually faster and manages to get the high ground. A great meme, especially when considering the well-known Star Wars reference.
Hearing A Chest
Looting an area and moving on, without checking on teammates' positions can be a big mistake. Sometimes players get absorbed into looting and completely forget about the zone until it's too late, so they might as well just find the chest that has been bugging them for the past minutes.
Nevertheless, there's always that one player who takes damage by the zone just to loot one more building or to check one chest that they heard.
