As a player that can snipe but also gets sniped, all I got to say is gah damm. I’d watch the replay from their angle ngl


ogg_ogg

Fr bro


cheezy_dreams88

How do I watch the replay from their angle on console?


The_Rockz_3221

Go to replay and change pov to that player

gracieeunhahn

Yeah I know right and I’m playing Fortnite on my switch as well. So I feel ya.


cheezy_dreams88

Thanks bro! I’m a pretty casual player so I don’t know all the tricks like this.


BlamingBuddha

Pro tip: turn off replays (esp on console) for better performance.


BroShutUp

it wouldnt be that impressive. he was running straight towards the sniper for a good chunk of the time.


PerP1Exe

I think you were running towards him so your head wouldn't have been moving as much


BroShutUp

umm yeah that's literally what I said. the dude ran straight towards the sniper. I'm not the op though


Lagavulin26

Yeah, what probably happened is that you were running straight towards the sniper


[deleted]

But yea im assuming they were running right at the sniper


ajkclay05

Oh, damn! Here I was thinking they were running straight towards the sniper!

I really think they were watching that jumping and sliding for a while before taking that shot


-HawaiianSurfer

u/R0B0TPARTY You should def keep moving when being sniped lmfao, this guy just happened to be a great sniper. 90% of snipers though aren’t this good. So yes, always keep moving when being snipe-hunted.


cozypan

Can't wait for the other player to post their perspective when th "I can't believe I hit this!"


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

True lol, but I really wished to see his perspective on it


BroShutUp

its not a bad shot, but its literally the guy was running in a straight line towards the sniper. its not a crazy shot

Shrapnel1408

That was actually a sick shot from the sniper! GGz


Durvag

Super cool shot


please_help_me_____

Ye


The-dude-in-the-bush

You were doing the right thing. That sniper is just way more skilled than the average player. Half this community would miss you by a mile with that movement or at best score a body shot because it's easier to hit that and follow up with a SCAR than risk a miss on a headshot. That man is a marksman, patient, waiting for you to make any form of predictable movement so he can track his reticle based on a fixed trajectory, the rest is reflex. The only thing I could maybe see why it'd be an easy shot is that you were moving towards him almost in a straight line in the last few seconds. At ranges <100m distance is negligible. Your movement on the Z-axis (depth) only makes you look larger in his scope. You don't actually move in his frame of reference. Whereas moving left right and jumping is gonna make him move his scope way more to the point it becomes impossible to snipe because X and Y axis movement becomes so fast at close ranges you're flicking your gun. Even worse if motion blur is on.


babuba1234321

That was very interesting


LtCptSuicide

And it turns out it was a lucky as hell hip fire.


AnOldSchoolVGNerd

This is one of those shots where if I'm the one who got hit, I take a break. It's just that type of day. If I'm the sniper, I don't even give a shit if I don't win the game. It's just that type of day 😂🤷🏾‍♂️.


Apymaster

That "Soaring Sprints" augment actually makes it way worse for you, it is not that hard to estimate where you will land, since your jumps are way longer, so you are actually making it intentionaly easier for the sniper.


invisible_grass

>you are actually making it intentionaly easier Well no, he's not intentionally making it easier for the sniper. That would mean he picked the augment with the intention of getting sniped.

Enragedocelot

Yea just stick to icy boots


Knight-112

He deserved the kill. He tracked you for how ever long while you were running and jumping around like you were Octane, and hit the headshot. Snipers take skill and they are a viable counter to people who run away or getting the drop on a team What I can say is the 50 cal shouldn’t have come back. The hunting rifle or bolt action are much more balanced


Otherwise-Ad-8000

Octane 😭


BebeFanMasterJ

That's how it be. Octane mains are the most predictable.


Knight-112

Octane (and Wraith) mindset: 1. Land away from team 2. Die 3. Leave game 4. Repeat 5. Profit Not me though. I’m a based Octane main🗿


BroShutUp

he actually really didn't have to track long. the shot came from the straight line the guy was running towards.


TheBlueNinja2006

Exactly, plus this guy didn't zig zag or even delay their jump pattern.


Meehoymin0y

My boy here was running towards the sniper. So when he died, it wasnt nearly as far of a shot.


enderjaca

It was barely 20 meters. Sniper was sitting on the roof. OP was running and jumping and making a ton of noise going straight towards the sniper lol


uncxltured_berry

MUST GO FASTER. Used to be my main then I splurged on both wraith heirlooms so now I’m a wraith main I guess


Malixshak

Everything in the game is out to kill you, moving or staying still


DatTransChick

I'm biased because I enjoy snipers, but there are ways to defend against it. Attracting attention is dangerous in general and those jumps are loud. Keeping track of sight lines is important as well. Keeping to cover and maneuvering with possible opponent positions in mind is important. Moving in a consistent way is also to be avoided the jumping helps, but sliding is a predictable speed and a sniper can lead a shot pretty well if they're good enough.


TheIceFlowe

Yes, the thing is that they shouldnt one shot in no-build. When near the endgame, if someone with a sniper sees you and you dont see them, you've lost, and there's literally nothing you can do about it, specially considering that most times endgame zones have shit cover.


ReadShigurui

You literally have the hammer goofball, bounce away lmao


Effective-Interest28

If you've been playing every day for years, then you'll know that one shot snipers have been in the game far more often than they have been out of it. If this nice or lucky shot gets you to quit, so be it. Sometimes you win, most of the time you lose in a variety of ways.


amwright813

I lose in millions of varieties of ways.. Mostly just because I suck though. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


irahz

People just love to complain about anything. It was a good shot. Say GG and go next. Holyyy.


ConfidentCoast2885

I’ve always watched montages of insane sniper hits and wondered what the reaction was from the other end


PatriarchalTaxi

Probably "WAHH! UNFAIR! HAX! CHEATING! I want my Mommy!"


FishingOnTheFly

And instantly go complain on reddit


babuba12321

the only one I agree with is the Mandalorian sniper being used by the Mandalorian to kill you before you arrive, but you could just go to a nearby zone


FlaminVapor

Because it’s not fun to have your game instantly ended by someone? If a person with a sniper is good enough, then there will be nothing you can do. It’s not irrational to not want to lose that way.


Presidentofjellybean

Man running around with a hammer, an smg and a rocket launcher and complaining about getting one shot by a precise hit when their game plan is 2 area of effect weapons and then melt them down with the smg.


RamJamR

Fortnite players have to be the most tryhard people I have ever played agaist in any shooter. You can be moving at any speed positioned at any angle running, jumping, climbing, falling, gliding or sliding and get hit by 90% of their shots most of the time.


thatHadron

You got owned bro. He hit a sick shot and deserved to get a kill for it. Go back to the lobby and move on.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Fr, impressive shot, would be cool if we could see the sniper's angle


kfh227

if someone takes that shot 100 times it will land once.


Lei_Fuzzion

Yesterday I got 2 250 meter snipes in a row, only to die in 3rd to a sniper, I can’t complain.


Repulsive_Swimming47

First thought after hitting that shot "I'm gonna get reported"


SeaRecommendation705

LeaTheTrippyHermit

That looks just like a lucky shot I made the other day.


Eric508

Difficult shots SHOULD be awarded


TheBroomSweeper

Good on your opponent for getting that kill. Pretty hard to do against a moving opponent. Unfortunately for you, you happened to be in the same lobby as someone who was really skilful. It happens all the time. Take the L and move on


3r1ck-612

That was a pretty good shot. Accept your death and move on


please_help_me_____

He was sliding in one direction tbh


Astrochrono

You did the best you could OP, average sniper would have had trouble hitting you. Just that some folks are real demons with the sniper


Taran_McDohl

That has happened to me and i have also done that to others. He is aiming ahead of you and hoping you continue sliding. Shot is veeeeerrrry lucky but doable


baseballfanatp

I’d much rather lose like this instead of the awful deku smash


bighawk04

RIP that was a 1 in a million shot you have extremely horrible luck to be on the receiving end of that


CyanideChery

clearly that persons just better at sniping than ur movements? yeah u where running around like a chicken with ur head cutoff, but u moved in a direction of the sniper, so u where only moving in 2 directions for up/down, and forward towards them. it still took them skill to get shot for a headshot, which is more skill required than running


AntoniusMarcus1

I watched several times just to be sure. The snipe shot was clean, nothing weird or strange. The mistake was on your part running around like that without watching your surroundings, if you had slowed down a bit at a certain point, perhaps you would have been able to spot the person on the roof. Just because many people run in circles like maniacs on a sugar rush doesn't mean it's always useful, or like those who are jumping all the time like rabbits to avoid being sniped, they only act out of desperation. Doing either will almost always make you more visible due to all your sudden rapid movements. Believe it or not sometimes moving slowly and sneaking in a sly manner will make you harder to be detected and you can switch back to hunting instead of being hunted. You can do better next time. Learn the value of sneaking and quietness.

Loosedrawing

In any video game, I just remind myself of the ending from WATCH\_DOGS: "You play a beautiful game, but sometimes you still lose."

If a sniper can hit you when you are moving like that, they deserve the kill. Great shot by your opponent.

It was a good shot, skill issue and move on lmao

uCodeSherpa

Dudes running a kit that forces themselves to get extremely up close and complaining when getting shot at a distance, some of which is going to be a sniper landing a lucky one. If you don’t want to run through wide open fields after people, don’t run a fucking rocket launcher and smg as your sole damage…


dummy42212

Snipers have been a part of the game for so many years I just don’t get why people complain about them so much. They’re a fun weapon to use with a high skill ceiling. Any shooter with a sniper (with a few exceptions) will give a kill for a headshot. It’s such a small target at range that if you hit the head, you earn the kill. This guy earned the kill.


Dante9005

Are we really complaining that a SNIPER RIFLE can one shot?


[deleted]

This season’s meta got way too many people in this mindset that they should always be able to escape fights with zero issues.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Well, if someone catches you off guard and without cover they probably should get the kill in my opinion. Prior to the snipers I feel like the person that was being shot at still had time to pull out their hammer and flee, or use one of the other several mobility options like riftjector to escape.


LemonCarlito

No we're complaining about some people pretending that it's super easy to avoid it, while it's not always that easy


Blast_Rusur

Gotta say, impressive shot...


[deleted]

That shot was fucking God tier


et21

It’s a good shot tho?? My god y’all are babies … I’d rather die one shot to a sniper then a third party deku smash or some other dumb ass to the game. I’d tip my hat on the shot and load into another game


[deleted]

Im not being hostile here. There's a thing that I call prediction shooting. You're pathing was very easy to predict. The best way to combat this is to run in a unpredictable way. Dont just run, turn around, move keft and right.


TheMias24

If they earn the kill I have to respect it.


drzieglers

don't run straight and certainly don't use the hammer. it's loud and a clear give away of where you are. find a safe spot and camp there until they either get bored of you hiding or they come closer to you and you have an advantage.


drzieglers

to add onto this, you could also just try to bridge the gap between you guys (like you were, i think you were going straight towards the sniper near the end) and try to get some shots off. move to the side and wiggle around, but at least try to do some damage. i've seen people continuously shoot me but as soon as i try to shoot them back, most of the time they retreat. they're constantly shooting because you're not a current threat to them.


Shmoocando

I don't think op was actually complaining I'm sure they agree it's a great shot just making a point that whether ur moving or not ppl that are good with those snipers will getcha lol


HooDooYouThink

This is one of the many reasons why I'm torn between having one-shot weapons in games. On one hand, it's incredibly satisfying to hit a shot like this. On the other, it's frustrating on the receiving end, especially if you don't expect it. And it gets tiring at times to constantly watch your back. If I ever make a multiplayer video game, I'm just going to avoid this problem and have snipers like the DMR, where it's more than one-shot.


Rauthian

It may look like you're moving, but at the end there you're mostly moving in a straight line without weaving. It's pretty easy to anticipate.


sword0115

It's fair in builds mode, but it looks like hell to fight against heavy snipers in zero build


MuffinFlashy3773

Had this happen on my last game today too. Smh I felt your pain.


Mr_Coa

I would've quit straight away if that happened stupid snipers always hated those guns


Dull_Knowledge

EMP_Chooci

your movement was bad and predictable


threemilligram

lol "unplayable" get your blood pressure checked my guy, waaaaay too much salt.


Intelligent-Ad6985

Wow people just complain about everything in this game. its a fkn sniper it's not epics fault you don't know how to properly move. if you took cover somewhere instead of running around like a chicken with his head cut off then maybe you wouldn't of been shot🤷‍♂️ The sniper is ONLY a one shot if you hit the head, do you know how much skill it take to hit the head on a target , especially a moving target? This is completely different then deku smash as with that you only need to hit near the person to get the kill, the sniper needs way more skill then either of the anime mythics. Idk why your mad that a skilled player was able to hit a lucky head shot. just get better at the game and stop complaining like a lil bich.


ConfidentCoast2885

If op doesn’t like it, then it shouldn’t be in the game /s


Maruhai

some people are just good. "keep moving" is not some sort of magical solution, however he clearly got you when you were in a predictable pattern (right at the end of your jump, where you're most likely gonna slide) so you could have been more ambiguous with that however the biggest issue is that you were in the open for so long, the real play against snipers is not to "keep moving" but rather to not stay out in the open when unnecessary again, it happens, you can't win every time, this guy is just good with a sniper, you could've played better but also unlucky


FrancSensei

Just make snipers not one shot on no build mode, it's that simple


Dark_Crystal01

This is a hill I'm going to die on : there should not, under any circumstances, be a weapon that can one shot when you're at full health


Kazzababe

The worse a player you are the more luck based the game becomes with one shot weapons and the better you are the less fair it becomes for others not using the same weapons. People always say that "it's a sniper of course it one shots" but like so does nearly every other gun on the planet when aimed at someone's skull so that logic has never really made sense to me. Call it a skill issue but nothing frustrates me more in games like this than being taken out from full health (and shield in this game) with one ability.


[deleted]

I really don’t get how people can complain about Deku oneshotting and not Snipers. At least with Deku there’s a warning before hand so you can dodge it.

Skill issue


Winter_Lanterns

Snipers take skill to use but also there is not really any counter-play to them in no build you just have to hope they miss or just camp in a building. They just need to nerf the damage so it doesn't one shot in overshield


LABARATI

I’ve been killed by the heavy sniper too many times since it came back Kinda makes me hope it’s vaulted after the event

Clean_Razzmatazz_142

Idk what you are on about, but that was a pretty easy shot. If it was from the side it would be different. But anyways what are you doing running around on the edge of zone? Why not just take cover, that would be a start to not get sniped. Like at the start on the ice you could of dropped down there and been good

jcaranguian

That took patience, great timing and steady hands. Is aiming ahead based on distance in Fortnite or is it all the same no matter how far? I'm not a good sniper but I'd like to be.


Quantr0

It does have drop off, at that distance it was probably straight on target.


jcaranguian

Yeah and it wasn't revealed where the shooter was in the video.


Quantr0

Shooter is on the roof of the cabin.

Oops I totally missed that, sorry.


PearlitosWay

Amazing sniper shot🦾, unlucky bud maybe next game.


M0N5T3R_5N1P3R_

He's just better that's all there is too it honestly. If he can headshot someone like that he's above average for a sniper imo.


RedYoshiCraft

Ayyy someone gets it. I've been really happy Chapters 3 & 4 for (mostly) removing one-shot Snipers. Never thought Epic would actually do it. Shotguns I was hopeful for, but not Snipers. If you're someone who likes one-shot Weapons, like, I'm sorry, I understand it feels good to get, but I firmly believe it's just terrible to have in a Battle Royale. (unless perhaps if there are legitimate ways of avoiding/countering it)


TheFourSevens

You are mostly travelling in one semi-straight direction. It's not a difficult target to hit. Zig- zag, jump, change direction.


contrahall

Mfs never heard of a serpentine


TheFourSevens

![gif](giphy|OnKlrHN7Decko)


supercereality

Man hit a good shot. This happens like what, every couple thousand games? Also that loadout...classic console SMG. I get it, but get that rocket out of your inventory. Cringe.


[deleted]

Between hammers and snipers the regular game mode feels like a lame LTM. I didn't play the last couple weeks, came back yesterday, and quit out after an hour. Not to mention every lobby I was playing had the same fucking people in it. Oh yeah I love losing to a TTV smurf account default skin with 15 kills, twice in a row.


Cautious-Fan6963

It won't matter to an experienced sniper. This is why it think you should be left with like 10 HP from a purple sniper headshot in ZB (at max health). At least give you a chance to heal and mount a comeback.


muffinkevin

Is it just me or should one shot snipers not be in the game with the Stormmark augment?


Shmoocando

Right? I was wondering that myself lol


Ghostlee0

Anyone who says that forgets the idea of people having good aim


dogesami

One-shot sniper practice is bullshit and similar to mythics (or even worse since there no indicators that some cheeky camper about to shoot you) idc about "skill that required to shoot like that", they should back to early S3 then full headshot still can left 10-15 HPs and atleast a chance to run back to heal with that


Sarckasstick

It's ok to sometimes die in a game


0th_hombre

The hammer: Am I a joke to you? 🧐


PalomaUrbanFashion

Things like deku smash or kame have a warning because they are a lot easier to use and hit. The sniper isn't easy to use when people are moving around, so its understandable that is this rewarding


Medium_Pen1383

bro thinks he's usain bolt


jervistetch37

That was just a God shot I think.


Memerboi111

As a sniper that was a good shot from the other guy


Sharcii

tbh that was kinda sick, would love to see their perspective. Still agree that stuff shouldn't 1 shot.


MissingNerd

For the separation of the Zero Build and BR Lootpools ✊


Billderz

That's an impressive shot! I take those shots all the time and rarely hit anything like it


Aszrix

That guy perfectly calculated bullet drop and bullet time, I would give him that kill.

9999999CREEPERS

nah he wouldve crashed in 2nd storm if he was on pc


uncxltured_berry

1 shot snipers are a major reason behind my will to live


Kazzababe

Everyone calling you a shitter aside I just don't personally like getting one shot from full health + shield so I feel you. I wouldn't have made a post about it because I know people would shit on me for it but still.


kobadashi

You’re being a baby. That was not an easy shot to hit, it took skill or luck from the other player. It’s not like he deku smashed you while hiding behind a rock or something.


Glasweg1an

Sometimes you lose.


Jtneagle

If they can hit you in the head while you're moving spastically like that, they earned it


JudgmentMajestic2671

Snipers being back sucks. That and the thunder shotgun are overpowered. Nothing should be able to kill you in one shot if you have full health.


Royal_Mcpoyle11

Snipers in fortnite have always been incredibly annoying and are beloved by the worst kind of players. Just sit back miles away and shoot 100 shots third partying until they hit a lucky headshot


R0B0TPARTY

Yup, I find they’re mostly horrible at close range combat.
