Fortnite Battle Royale matches might only take place on a single map, but each produces unique moments of awesome gameplay. From hilarious fluke-shots to immensely skillful tactical play, the millions of players enjoying Fortnite’s hugely successful battle royale mode have captured some of these legendary plays, and we’re here to share the very best that we’ve found.
Twinfinite would like to thank the various Fortnite Battle Royale communities that sent in their best clips to contribute to this collection.
The Art of Sniping
With its ability to virtually one-hit-kill any enemy and its long-range effectiveness, the Sniper Rifle is among the best weapons in Fortnite Battle Royale. But it isn’t easy to use. Severe bullet drop requires deft skill and perfect timing to become a master. The following are some examples of devastating sniper skill.
3 shots, 3 kills. Credit for this awesome Victory Royale goes to Patrick Thao from the Fortnite Battle Royale PS4 community.
This incredible sniper kill is courtesy of YouTube personality 100T Nader. Seriously, what on earth?

You don’t have to use a scope, of course. Twitter user @Stradafmus shows us how it’s done…
A crazy no scope I got on Fortnite on Xbox One! #VICTORYROYALE pic.twitter.com/XKPoOHSm71

Scope or not, this is a seriously good shot from YouTube user ForLights.

David Murphy from PS4’s Fortnite Battle Royale community sent us this hilarious clip. A superbly clever way to take down this duo.
johnJayJoka was fortunate this rocket didn’t explode, but even more so that it carried him all the way to his buddy!
Riding a rocket is one thing, but using it as a tactic to win take down enemies? Fast forward to 55 seconds into the clip to check out YouTube user Sacriel’s ludicrous two kills.
Mad Clutch Skills
With your squadmates down and your back up against the wall, can you handle the pressure? These players show what it takes to come out on top with the odds stacked against you.
@dakwix’s aim is on point.

Fortnite Battle Royale isn’t all about winning epic shootouts, it’s as much about stealth and cunning strategy. Check out YouTube user Jaeger Bombs sneaking skills.
The new Jump Pad item has proven seriously useful in the late game, and Twitter user @Greenie787 shows us exactly how it can be used to devastating effect.

Twitter user @H20Delirious completely confused his enemies with this craft Jump Pad clutch.

It’s a Trap
It isn’t just fort building that gives Fortnite it’s own unique battle royale flavor, the tactical use of traps adds another layer to strategy.
Now, this is what you call getting creative, from @AlucoTV.
It’s a trap! @AlucoTV shows wit and serious creativity. Build your legacy. Send us your best clip. pic.twitter.com/LuMPxMLpfF

YouTube user ThatOneDude572 recorded one of the most brilliantly placed traps we’ve ever seen.
A trap of a very different kind, YouTube user Kman and his squad cunningly trap the last surviving player in a house on the fringes of the safe zone. Genius!
To think that so many weird and wonderful gameplay clips could take place on a single map is extraordinary, but that’s what keeps us coming back to play match after match of this brilliant mode. And while it might have copied the battle royale formula from other popular games like PUBG, Fortnite is forging its own unique path thanks to its awesome fort building system and quirky aesthetic.
