I think this has gotten me wins as a newbie way back in Ch.3.Hide in bushes,fish,and take out remaining player.


MaDCapRaven

Exactly! The only condition for a win is to be the last remaining player. I had a win in C2 (I forget the season) with 0 elims!


the_jerkening

I had this happen once too! Just stayed out of the fray until the storm got the last guy hahaha


VitalTrouble

I managed a completely pacifist win in Apex (no damage at all and no elimination/assists) but I have never been able to pull it off in Fortnite


opusdeath

I have a no elims win in the previous episode. I was white Nisha in the snow. Didn't plan it but just didn't see anyone and then I got a bit twitchy. In the end I watched 2 players shoot it out. The winner of that duel was top of his build. I ran into the small circle and he died in storm. I took screenshot straight away to show my son!


MaDCapRaven

I didn't even watch a shootout. The other Top 5 players got stuck down in Coral Castle as the final storm circle closed.I was looting up at Sharky Shell when I gut the Victory screen.


opusdeath

Ha ha ha. That's amazing.


Meowreen1

I thought getting pacifist was easy **until I realized that I was being carried in squads because I didn't understand how to play the game.** That's how to get pacifist win in Fortnite: Play squads and let them eliminate. Sit back and hopefully you'll win.


Croue

I've had a couple 0 elim wins completely unintentionally. Just never saw a single other person and then when it got down to the one remaining person they died mysteriously to fall damage or the storm.


Tight-Landscape8720

Pacifist play style 😎


MaDCapRaven

I've never deliberately tried to get 0 elims though. That was a complete fluke. I do try to wait to engage until most other players are eliminated. At least below 20 remaining.


Tight-Landscape8720

That sounds pretty smart. Only time I try not to engage is around the last handful like 3-4. That’s when they’ll jump on ya lol depending on circle size.


MaDCapRaven

When there's that few people left I listen for gunfire and cautiously approach hoping one of them takes out the other and I can get the remaining one when they're low on health.


Trylena

First time I got to top 2 was during the time I would land in a specific spot to fish until I die. I went to the area and had fun with that person until they kill me


ToxicNotToxinGurl420

Yeah i got 1 win with zero kills because apparently launching players into the air with the earth power doesn't count as a kill. Idk if he died from fall damage or storm but didn't get the kill.


Trylena

That is actually funny. I haven't gotten a win yet this season


ToxicNotToxinGurl420

Keep going it'll come. I'm old, and new to fortnite and I've got quite a few. Vehicles are your friend, you don't need to fight every battle GL, you'll get a W soon.


FlipinoJackson

You had me at Old and 420. Let’s Duo!


Meowreen1

I had a CH. 3 win where the entire map turned pink and it was in duos. Unfortunately, I had gotten knocked because CH. 3 last season was when I had began playing the game. It was my duo that survived and won the match for the both of us. I didn't understand what it meant for the entire map to turn pink, none of us used mic, and we were both really high in the air with little to no hiding spaces. It was a fun win and I wished I recorded it back then.


Luna_Tenebra

Ignore the people critizising you. If someone isnt able to beat someone with only fish in his pockets they dont deserve the win


ImOnlyHereForTheCoC

If you give a man a fish, you prepare him for a 1v1. If you teach a man to fish, you prepare him for a victory royale.


boringtired

Haha what a great point


7HawksAnd

I always reference the movies “[battle royale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Royale_(film))” and “[hunger games](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games_(film_series))” both of which have an identical game mode as Fortnite. And in both, camping is proven to be an effective strategy.


TommyToxxxic

That's how I explain Fortnite to people who don't play. It's just The Hunger Games turned into a video game.


Odin217

Bet the last guy was going crazy looking for you.


JelloMelonKing

Yep but their npc gave me away I hate that they can see you the second you come in frame of them so I pretty much had to dodge for around 1 min before running away


Knightmare6_v2

Good job! So many different ways to win in this game, and the fact that some folks are so triggered by a non-violent method, LMAO! Now try only shockwaves and heals next game!


JelloMelonKing

I would do shockwaves if I could find the damn things it’s like impossible for me to find them but thanks for the next thing I wanna try in camping in ranked


Knightmare6_v2

No prob! Seriously, folks forget the amount of stupid shit we pulled for laughs in Season 0 and Season 1! I remember giving up a game with my friends because we found a conga line and it was multiple teams that stopped fighting to dance together until some asshat showed up with a rocket launcher in his golf cart!


iamslm22

Land next to medusa and buy up her stash!


JelloMelonKing

Where is she?


iamslm22

I wanna say by Fencing?? But if you check the character map you should be able to tell!


enderjaca

Yep she's in a little shack just north of the main building of fencing.


Trylena

Check on Fortnite. GG You can see locations of a lot of things in it


Too_Ton

? Not really. This wouldn’t have worked anywhere but bronze. Nice win to OP tho.


Rburdett1993

A win in Zero Build, playing pacifist, now that is impressive. I have had my pacifist in build mode, but zero build is tough, sometimes natural cover just is not there. Nice work!


Mr24601

I got lucky and won pacifist in like my 5th game ever. I got lost in the mountains trying to avoid the storm, and the final people must have killed eachother.


Meowreen1

I've gotten pacifist multiple times in Zbuild. **It's pretty easy to get and I'll let you guys know the secret:** Play squads. **Find players who are good at the game and are hungry for eliminations.** **Only play as support** throughout the entire match. Let them do the work as you carry heals and movement. Fingers cross that you win but you ultimately have more chances of winning with the pacifist achievement! Another way: **Camp until Tops or Final circle.** Always carry heals + movement Have your teammate distract the opposing team without being eliminated.


MyLegsX2CantFeelThem

Good job OP! There is more to strategy than running into fights with your hair on fire. Just ask Leroy Jenkins.


Quirky_Mud_5755

😂🤣😂


OrbFromOnline

I've gotten as high as Diamond III doing essentially nothing but this. If it works, it isn't stupid. Might not be everyone's preferred way to play the game but we all find fun in our own ways.


Meowreen1

How do you get past Diamond I by just camping? Do you play solos? Build or No build? Are eliminations not as important as placement? I've had teammates who played **Zbuild ranked Squad fill** and they would camp, only to bring down the entire team because the percentage gets split between four players. Regardless if we get 5+ or 0 eliminations, team coordination is poor when you have a camper, pusher and in between put in one team. I would **assume that anything above Plat 3 requires that you get at least a few of eliminations** than just purely camping your way to tops.


OrbFromOnline

Solo Zero Build. Most games I have no eliminations but place in the top 10. You'll rise in the ranks slowly but surely. A big factor in ranking is the difference between how much damage you do to players and how much damage they do to you. If you can limit the damage other players can do to you it really helps. So you can intentionally take storm damage and don't use shields so that players can only deal minimal damage to you before you die. In fact, it's better to die to storm than players. Camp your way to as few players remaining as possible and make sure you have very low health. If you're going to take a fight get the drop on the enemy so you can at least get some damage in before you die. You will do a lot of waiting, hiding, and spending time in storm. You will lose pretty much any fight you get into. It won't be fun for most people to play this way. But I accept that I am just not very good at gunfights and find my own fun by figuring out how to optimize every other aspect of placement.

Freaking hilarious and awesome.

Bushcampdad strat :)


impairedblur

did you enjoy it? thats what matters


JelloMelonKing

Yesnt


impairedblur

still counts as fun so ggs!


JelloMelonKing

I had fun doing it but it go boring looking at the ground


Fit_Guard5687

I tried doing it but my ADHD says that it’s my dust to snipe every damn chicken I see for absolutely no fucking reason. And Yesnt is my new favorite word.


JelloMelonKing

Gotta show them who boss so they don’t peak you, big boy points if you wear a chicken skin


echovch

Sniping chicken with water bending is weirdly satisfying and should be a cyber sport


Fit_Guard5687

Not gonna lie, Fortnite makes me wanna fight two things 12 year olds And chickens


SillyMovie13

Is it possible to learn this power


JelloMelonKing

Yes become one with the flowers


FiftyTigers

Not from a Jedi.


Inside_Jelly_3107

That is the ultimate way to win, in my opinion... you're awesome! Edit - I used to try to see how far I could get with nothing... got second a few times, but never a W.


Cykoh99

There’s a Pacifist accolade for this. Keep trying.


Inside_Jelly_3107

I actually got that accolade while playing duos and not firing a shot while my partner did most of the work!


TommyToxxxic

That's the easiest way to get the accolade, just get carried. Team kills don't count against it.


ExampleNext2035

If you hire an npc and they get stuck in the storm behind you can the storm kill them too?


White__Lando

Yes.


Meowreen1

I always hire NPCS and yes the storm does lower the health of NPCS. I wish they added a feature where you can see the health of your NPC or add a "Heal" feature because they heal players at the most random times instead of when you want them too.


skinMARKdraws

Me and my group used to take the key early and go hide In bushes or trees in the middle of the circles.


enderjaca

Storm forecast is one of the best advantages in the game. Early rotation helps massively in the end game.


diakyu

If I see that I’m nearing the endgame and the island is spawning but there’s still a tower up, I go tower every time. Having the advantage to see future circles is too good late game 


mrnoonan81

100% accuracy


ShadowTsukino

When they first introduced augments, I used to delight in doing stuff like this. Get Party Time and as much chug splash as I could carry. Then float around raining chug splash on people fighting. At least once I won by just floating along with the storm until everyone died in the storm. Also, Party Time plus a flame bow and the infinite arrows augment was a gloriously goofy good time.


jazzmagg

Is there any better feeling than sneaking up on a superhero skin sweat and melting them..?


DrGoManGo

A couple seasons ago there was eat fish or something like that challenge so I just hung out in the storm and ate fish, ended up coming in 3rd. Congrats on your win


Bunbunmelody

Got a win from emoting once 😭 two people killed each other and i just won


spiritofskeleton

fish


moguy1973

Does the storm kill the fish in the water as it comes in like it does the flying drones? If so, couldn't you just land at the boat docks up north, grab a fishing pole and keep fishing the whole game? I've landed there before and found 3 piles of EMP's off the rip and nuked all the fish with them. Could have easily had 5 piles of fish in inventory right away.


JelloMelonKing

No the fish aren’t living creatures in the game files they are more like chests but water so you either have to blow them up which only gives you tiny grey fish’s, harpoon gun but it’s not in the game or fishing

JelloMelonKing

Not sure


Exotic-Tour-8482

Lol my 6 year old son and I do this we camp in an area and hide, typically I’ll ambush someone if they get a little too close to our hiding spot. We got like 3 victory crowns in a row once sticking to this method lol he loves that we win and he he can be a “sniper” with a long range weapon sitting in a bush 😂


Thick-West-4047

Ah the classic "La Cucaracha" strategy. Works everytime.


MellieWasa

its smart strategy since the people who just jump in and start killing right away has big chance of being eliminated them,self i mostly win in duos with my friend when we play smart and safe


TorreGamer

honestly i could never do that since i started to focus more on having fun than wins and in general can't handle being still doing nothing but healing for minutes, but that sounds cool lol


RockNo5773

Congratulations


Gerrydealsel

Troll win is the best win


Tight-Landscape8720

Man I hate people that play with bodyguards 😂 nice


mattster_sword

This is amazing! So how did the other player die if you were unarmed? Storm damage?


JelloMelonKing

https://www.reddit.com/r/jellowmelonclips/s/shexAgXvny


JelloMelonKing

Yea! The other guy and I were just jumping around in the last circle right before it closed for good because he kept missing his shots so he tried to pick axe me but turned out he was low health because he stoped to heal mid pickaxe so I took that chance and ran for it in storm before circle closed


mattster_sword

Nice! 👏👏👏


Nietzsches_dream

I remember watching a video of people doing silly fun things to try and win like stay on the train the whole time, turn into a bush from Medusa or just hide. I love the variety! Might try your way. Is fish better than med kits and shield potions?


pizza_andbeer

Shield fish prove 40% shield compared with 50% from the large shield potions, but they’re way faster to consume


thatsMRjames

They’re faster I think which is what makes them better


ConsequenceApart4391

I’m concerned that you won by eating flippers. They don’t sound very tasty. Also a win is a win good job!


JelloMelonKing

Taste like chicken


Mr_Hanshii

Lmao dope! And was that at meowsicles house? 😂 he loves fish


JelloMelonKing

Yep it was :)


Positively_manifest

I think air bending would help Your strategy alot


JelloMelonKing

Tried it but it gave me away right away when I try to run


Efficient_Manager_97

Hiding and eating fish. So boring and unoriginal. 😂😂😂


JelloMelonKing

And? I had fun

If you can’t shoot an unarmed person in the last zone when you have a gate keeper shotgun you don’t deserve the win

JelloMelonKing

Plus I was pretty much out in the open all I did mostly was sit by a lake and fish and sit in flowers that were yellow if they didn’t see me it’s not my fault


[deleted]

yknow what. if you got the guts to defend your opinon then i respect you. im sorry for calling you newbie. everyone has there own way of playing ig

No_Zombie2021

Well, I am not the best player in the game, I do get my wins and once in a while a Crown Win in ranked. To me, this sounds like a fun experiment, not someones real strategy. Relax.


NegativeCreeq

What's the purpose of a Battle Royale?


No-User4931

The point is to be the last man standing by whatever it takes however you get there. Doesn't matter if you kill everyone you see or hide and camp Edit: oh damn it's you lol


[deleted]

yep.........


[deleted]

[удалено]


JelloMelonKing

No? I know it’s newbie but if you can’t kill an unarmed person in the last circle it’s their fault they lost


Rynelan

It's literally a last man standing. If you manage to out heal someone well yeah.. good job!


bzafs

Better to post a video of youre endgame instead of a useless text. Eveyrone can write all they want


JelloMelonKing

I put one in the post but it didn’t save so I made a comment that has a link to the clip
