Fortnite, the massively popular online video game, has continually impressed us with the creativity of its players. The recent buzz from a game user ‘HardHitter18’ about a Stonewood base burgeoning with all 144 traps has players raising their eyebrows.
Summary
- The frenzy sparked from the ‘excessive preparation’ shown by the player.
- The player community presented multiple hypotheses and speculations about this strategic move.
- Several reasons ranging from extra storage to artistic expression were pondered over.
The Art of Preparation
“This is the kind of art that I like” commented JSTREO, suggesting possible artistic undertones to the excess. Wolverinelogan20 humorously added that “Sometimes those lvl3 husks need lvl 144 broadsides”, linking it to a strategic move.
Nothing but Extra Storage
As ElectriCole points out, “Some people use their storm shields for extra storage,” an understated yet possible reason for loading the base with traps. iGarshasb boasted about the similarly trap-loaded stonewood base which is, according to the player, an alternate storage.
Speculations and Conjectures
The excess trap situation attracted a fair share of speculations too. Thought-provoking concerns surfaced, such as “Were all duplication glitches patched? Or is this person just wasting resources?” by tt_crt, hinting at possible game bug exploitation. Even humorous conjectures surfaced. User ppc-meow suggested that it was a part of a construction project: “The host is building a pirate ship, there is no other explanation for this monstrosity”.
Reflections
Ironically, the trap-loaded base stirred a blend of humour, respect, and curious reactions among the game community. FrostEV3010 remarks “This is the way of the pros… WDYM”. An overall sentiment of respect toward such audacity and creativity overshadowed the initial astonishments.
All in all, the Fortnite community once again proved its knack for innovation and strategy, attracting eyeballs through a trifling base building strategy. It’s amazing how such a seemingly simple act has brought forth a whirlwind of interpretations and community engagement!
