“Absolutely big brain strat”: Community reacts to player’s strategy to get revived in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has been a place for players to explore new opportunities when it comes to gameplay and skillful displays, with Epic Games adding a ton of new items and features that keep the landscape fresh and make for memorable moments. However, some memorable moments can be attributed more to a player's quick thinking rather than the game's vast offerings and mechanics.
This is highlighted in a recent Reddit clip shared by u/_chiovatz, where the player posted a clip from a Chapter 5 Season 3 Duos Zero Build match. The video featured the player getting knocked down and their teammate using a car to relocate them. However, as the player managed to hop onto the roof of their teammate's vehicle, an enemy in one of the Mythic Nitro Cars rammed into the vehicle.
Thanks to the low-gravity effect of the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic and the boost from getting hit by a vehicle, the player was able to make their way to an NPC. They quickly hired the NPC, allowing the AI-controlled ally to revive them. The Reddit clip showcasing this brilliant display of quick thinking ignited a flurry of responses from the community, with Redditor u/AMidgetinatrenchcoat stating:
“Absolutely big brain strat”
Other members of the community opined on the player's quick thinking, with Redditor u/Different-Ad8578 expressing their surprise that players can use the Underworld Dash ability even when they are knocked. u/K-boomX94, however, joked about how using the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic also gives you the intellect of the master of magnetism.
Meanwhile, Redditor u/Saffronation pointed to the insane amounts of luck involved in the situation and drew comparisons to Domino from the Deadpool movies, a character who has a probability-altering mutation. Redditor u/45s_, on the other hand, expressed their desire to see NPCs and fun items like the Nitro Fists in the Ranked mode.
How to get the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
As seen in the Reddit clip, the Magneto Gauntlets Mythic played a crucial role in providing the low-gravity effect players need to make the journey to the NPC. This powerful item was added to the game in celebration of the Wastelander Magneto collaboration in the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass. Luckily for players, the item can be easily found in Chests and Floor Loot.
Additionally, they can make their way to the Brawler's Battleground POI to interact with the Wastelander Magneto NPC to purchase the Mythic in exchange for Gold Bars.
