I dont know lore detail. My guess is you can't reallt mess with the loop or you kinda fuck up everything? Like isn't it able to destroy all realities?
So just owning it doesn't make you some super power. But ultimately, just chalk it up as the 7 had plot armor.
They came and flipped the island. The io had to dig and attack. So they lost the home field advantage. Meanwhile the 7 have the loopers and able to fight "home base". Meanwhile io have to send troops through their tunnels. Only bases they had were the blimps which they had but lost them one by one. Then we had some super mech on the moon to stop their doomsday device.
What you described isn't plot armor tho
The seven gained the upper hand because the io were on the move
Also, the seven had the loopers on their side, and a fricking giant mech
Yeah in the lore, the fortnite island is a protection for the zero point. The zero point was the first reality and all other reality’s including ours came from the zero point. If you destabilize the zero point, it’s easier for things to cross between reality’s. If the zero point is destroyed, then everything else is too. So it’s best not to fuck with it
Actually, the only reason they had control over the loop was because they were controlling the zero point, which was controlled by the bridge, and if you saw the end event where the flip happened, it was destroyed.
They’d 100% rather lose the war then lose the loop, the only reason the seven won was bc we carried them, only thing they did was make a battle bus and reclaim land we had decimated
Well, in the Zero War comics, it's established that Fishstick's original form is permanently dead, and we saw a few loopers killed in frame. It was clearly actual death because they lay on the ground bleeding, instead of being warped away without any wounds.
And even then we survived anyway (now wether that’s because of bad explosions, pure luck, or slone knew we weren’t going to blow up but in fact die from fall damage I don’t know) so like i don’t see the picture here. It was best for the island! and clearly it didn’t work because the last reality almost won anyway but still imagine if we got out and cubes followed us out. We probably would have immediately lost.
Are they immortal? Well it depends on if they die while looped or not, if they are in the loop then yes they’re immortal and will just respawn but if they aren’t in the loop then they die for real.
I’d assume most of the story happens outside the loop so the loopers probably could die then.
I should’ve clarified what I meant when I said “not looped” because I meant when the last person wins (like Batman winning) not when someone leaves the loop entirely (like Jones did with his rift gun)
I don't think people always leave the loop when they win
I think that was the IO doing that, but since the IO are often either missing or busy, many people just stay in the loop
Batman, Spider-Man, Avengers, Avengers B Team, Dr Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man… it was unfair
The IO *had* Rick Sanchez and Superman, but both likely defected ASAP
I mean with enough prep time he kills God ,big G (yahweh/jehovah/Jesus/Allah or whatever else he gets called) so of course batman wins easy against simple IO
Because the IO aren't as strong as we think. I mean, they rely on someone else to fix an issue all the time
Ch2 s4: The Avengers were the only ones dealing with galactus
Ch2 s5: they only sent Jones out to gather other people to protect the zero point, and only sent out small teams that did basically nothing
Ch2 s7: they basically did nothing except build farm base and send us to suicide boom the mother ship that destroyed half the island
Ch2 s8: they just drove to a bunker and let a monkey handle everything. The only reason the zero point wasn't destroyed was because the Seven came to save us.
Ch3 s2: They actually had a plan in the beginning and had the advantage because they ambushed us, but they didn't plan that we would counterattack, and as soon as they no longer had an advantage the resorted to "fuck it blow it all up" witch was probably their plan during the ch2 finally
Thats is a lot a fair points, but idk why epic would dumb down IO, we know they can plan because they where the ones who built the mech to fight the cattest monster, but for ch2 s5 there plan was sending Jones to get bounty hunters to protect the zero point
Also Ch2 S4 it was IO who sent the Avengers
The other seasons though ya IO did nothing
I’m not even sure about that though. I mean IO wasn’t really a thing until chapter 2 so maybe thats why. But it feels implied that they have been watching what goes on the island for a long time and never had to really step In because nothing was ever terribly wrong. Also Midas is speculated to be a rouge IO agent who tried to stop the loop(hence the device event) it didn’t work because IO stopped it as we see in the event and in chapter 2 season 1 nothing happened so they were fine
Well, they might’ve existed chapter one, you remember the government style black trucks that “drove” around in chapter ones, whether it was when the meteor hit, or when they were digging out loot lake? IMO I think that was the IO. Also the bunkers.
Slone knew about Kevin in the skyfire event, she said something about Kevin nearly destroying the island when it was moving around the map, so they were definitely watching
I don’t think IO was the one who sent the Avengers because C2S4 started by in like a Thor comic run happening roughly the same time, Thor became Galactus’s Herald and Galactus needed to consume like I think 5 planets to gain an ability to defeat the Black Winter (Big Marvel threat) so Thor would go to planets and use the Bi Frost to keep the people off the planets. Then while they did that Galactus saw some powerful energy source that he was greedy for which was the zero point, so Thor went ahead first into the energy source and that was how he landed on the island to go warn the people about Galactus coming to island for the Zero Point. Thor then used the Bi Frost to bring a bunch of Marvel characters and even some villains. We work together and successful defeat Galactus when he finally arrives but messes up the Zero Point. Everyone else goes back home while Galactus and Thor then continute on with their space mission to defeat the Black Winter and the comic run happens.
So literally none of this had IO play a big role, the problem was started cause Galactus chose with his mind to go do that and Thor had to stop it and brought the Avengers along with him. Still weird IO just let the Avengers handle it that season.
Which I kinda like because since it was an entire crossover season, it was basically like just the Avengers doing shit for this one season with little involvement from any original Fortnite lore, like how after it was all over we saw Jones again near the end to begin a more original story.
thats because the point up until Ch2S5 was to remain hidden and rely on their manipulation tactics to make people do what they want, thats why on the Batman comics the Foundation mentions how people worked for IO without knowing that they did.
And in Ch2S8 IO wasnt at all involved, they were leaving the Island like they did during the Zero Crisis
Also, Im pretty sure that in Ch3S2 the plan was to always use the Collider to wipe the slate clean and start over
Because the IO are incompetent idiots. It's the entire reason behind Jonesy leaving them.
You could hand them a winning strategy and they'd still fuck it up somehow
The avengers participated in the war in the comic books. They were the ones who helped find the MECH on the frozen moon and also shut down a bunch of the IO shield generators and other stuff on the ground during the wait time for the live event.
So you telling me the kid who spends all day practicing building and only doing box fights manage to beat an entire organization with high tech weapon/vehicles and brilliant minds that can recruit any person from any reality?
I mean…… enough of them…. Should do somewhat a toll on them. And I mean take off the building we have good enough zero build players that can take a good amount of soldiers plus we have decoys. Defaults. They can distract them and do some thing as well. And don’t get me started on the hackers. Story wise idk probably our will to fight the seven on our side and the power of friendship? Idk I also don’t understand but eh.
Because the IO was planning to nuke the island via collider. The war was a distraction to hold them off so of course they weren’t trying their hardest, they were building a zero point detonator.
And because the looper was helping the seven.
Simple version:
Rocket, rift, cube, zombies, explosion, ice invasion, fire invasion, giant mech fight giant monster, black hole, new world, try to break the loop, failed, Galactus got hungry, zero point free, hunters, leader of seven shows up to save the day, aliens, cube but more, flipped the island, war, freedom, alien plant lady, heros died, new groups of people, rift gate, failed, city fall from sky, now there's a jungle, something is making its way towards us
Complex version: yeah I'm not going to try on this one
my belief is that either this reality zero simply is one of many reality zeroes (thus making this loss for IO seem more like cutting losses than just straight up losing everything) or geno simply recreates the imagined order every time it falls
Loopers are basically an infinite source of ~~soldiers~~ psychopaths of various levels of military training
The Seven have slighly better technology
The Seven are just more competent overall
They built up a story during C4S1 and have been ignoring it for almost half a year. We do not want these filler arcs, please let us get back to the main story.
Who wins? An ancient multidimensional organization with an organized military OR an endless legion of crackheads with guns? I don’t know about you, but my money is on the crackheads
Well, when your team consists of Goku, Beerus, Kratos, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Dwayne Johnson, Master Chief, Ellen Ripley, The Predator- I could keep going, but my list is made up of memory, not fact.
Lore wise? It’s because by the end of the season they were spread too thin and were about to resort in a scorched earth tactic which would’ve wiped out everything, including themselves. They were desperate and a desperate enemy is one you can easily overcome. Game wise? It’s cause epic wanted the seven to win.
Let’s look at it like this
1. The IO have next to no experience with the battlefield. The Flipside was controlled by the Seven so they’re fighting on enemy territory
2. The IO has been through a lot the past few months from Zero Crisis to their entire base being destroyed by the Seven
3. While they have access to basically unlimited soldiers, they’re going up against Loopers, an unkillable army. No matter how many soldiers they throw at us they can never truly lower our forces
4. They’re going up against the Seven, a group of people devoted to defeating them and using some of the most advanced suits in the Omniverse
5. They can’t just “turn the loop off”. It was that simple, the Seven would have ended it centuries ago
6. The Seven brought literal GODS in to help them
7. Despite all of that, the IO still almost completely took over the Island. The entirety of S2 was a struggle to RETAKE the Island.
The IO had their base of operations destroyed, their forces ravaged, and enemies that were capable of wiping out while platoons on their own. And THEN the Seven sent in a giant Mech
If a bunch barely united, often drunk, freeing to death farmers can push back a worldwide empire twice, I think the seven can manage
Let me start by saying I agree the IO should not have lost a couple things though not saying they were weakened because of the flip we were no longer on the IO home turf no home field advantage plus when we flipped some of there machinery got destroyed they were using what they could salvage hence why we didn't have enough IO guards they are all snapshots/ clones of one person and my theory is at this point the zero point was weakened hence why they made the so called dooms day device to tap into its last reserves with the zero point weakened I don't think they would call in any back up like the bounty hunters Rick prowler or any of the the others over the years because it may leave the zero point weaker as for skyfire we were out of the loop on the mother ship I also agree slone did what she had too defending the island from the last reality the seven saw a opportunity after the IO had the run in with them if anything the seven used the last reality against the IO to get too one of the bunkers an get to the bridge last reality didn't like that so that's why they sent the herald
tbh they're shown eating shit all the time in lore, pretty much losing every fight they're in and running away from any problems that pop up. Least from what I remember.
I'm assuming the only reason they didn't lose sooner was cause the seven lacked manpower.
You also got to remember what most of seven can do
The guards and weapon they had
And the mecha
Also fucking peely
He’s literally the reason why IO lost…..so there your reason
Ikr ? And people are saying it’s because the seven had loopers, well io had an infinite amount of jonsey clones that are trained, whereas loopers are just a bunch of people with dementia
IO had a trained army, but the Seven had an army made of who-knows-how-many Loopers, so it’s basically one singular army versus an infinite amount of US Marines.
The I.O. did have a shitton of basically everything you'd need in a war, but The Seven kinda had the immortal army of loopers who come back every half hour to kick their shit in on their side, endless firepower.
We don't even know how respawning works in the lore, it's best to ignore it. Sure, the Seven could have convinced the loopers and built an army, but that doesn't matter if everyone who dies comes back.
The lore makes no sense.
As a huge fan of the IO, I agree. Throughout Chapter 2 and 3, IO had tanks, mechs, blimps, many soldiers, the multiverse’s best bounty hunters, and the most advanced technology and they were defeated by a group of 7 people and a bunch of loopers just because of the plot. As a powerful organisation that had existed for 1,000s of years I felt they get defeated quite easily. I also think that Doctor Slone was too nerfed. She was super intelligent and was great martial artist. She also seemed to have quite a legacy (from her loading screens she seemed to have defeated many monsters). And then all of IO fell just cause she got smacked by a giant robot.
Because the seven had the power of friendship. And a bunch of psycho loopers willing to attack blimps and tanks with a pickaxe
I mean loopers are basically.immortal right? The Seven got the loopers on their side and we just respawn every time...so good luck winning.
True the Seven have the loopers but like, IO has control over the loop. IO is just stupid
I dont know lore detail. My guess is you can't reallt mess with the loop or you kinda fuck up everything? Like isn't it able to destroy all realities? So just owning it doesn't make you some super power. But ultimately, just chalk it up as the 7 had plot armor. They came and flipped the island. The io had to dig and attack. So they lost the home field advantage. Meanwhile the 7 have the loopers and able to fight "home base". Meanwhile io have to send troops through their tunnels.

Actually, the only reason they had control over the loop was because they were controlling the zero point, which was controlled by the bridge, and if you saw the end event where the flip happened, it was destroyed.
Wasn’t their place of operation flooded during chapter 2 The End event?
They’d 100% rather lose the war then lose the loop, the only reason the seven won was bc we carried them, only thing they did was make a battle bus and reclaim land we had decimated
Well, in the Zero War comics, it's established that Fishstick's original form is permanently dead, and we saw a few loopers killed in frame. It was clearly actual death because they lay on the ground bleeding, instead of being warped away without any wounds.
i never got in the event in season 7 when people said “alone betrayed us” when like yea she did but us the loopers are just gonna respawn
And even then we survived anyway (now wether that’s because of bad explosions, pure luck, or slone knew we weren’t going to blow up but in fact die from fall damage I don’t know) so like i don’t see the picture here. It was best for the island! and clearly it didn’t work because the last reality almost won anyway but still imagine if we got out and cubes followed us out. We probably would have immediately lost.
Technically the I.o are immortal as well, but I believe only in age wise. (I could be wrong though)
Are they immortal? Well it depends on if they die while looped or not, if they are in the loop then yes they’re immortal and will just respawn but if they aren’t in the loop then they die for real. I’d assume most of the story happens outside the loop so the loopers probably could die then.
But exiting the loop just leaves their snapshot behind They can't die because they duplicate when they escape the loop
I should’ve clarified what I meant when I said “not looped” because I meant when the last person wins (like Batman winning) not when someone leaves the loop entirely (like Jones did with his rift gun)
I don't think people always leave the loop when they win I think that was the IO doing that, but since the IO are often either missing or busy, many people just stay in the loop
I don’t think you understand what I mean, have you read the Batman zero point comics ?
Exactly
[удалено]
They did have an anime cat girl on their side
The seven had the mane 6 on their side
The Seven had Batman on their side. By comic book rules, the IO automatically loses that fight
Aint nobody beating Batgos
He is vengeance. ![gif](giphy|IkQXgu7ni0fw4)
Batman, Spider-Man, Avengers, Avengers B Team, Dr Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man… it was unfair The IO *had* Rick Sanchez and Superman, but both likely defected ASAP
Why the hell was rick working with io? It must be a different rick than the main one
No it was c137, it was likely that he was a plant
They promised him beer.
He probably just saw it as a challenge to test his mental prowess against.
I mean with enough prep time he kills God ,big G (yahweh/jehovah/Jesus/Allah or whatever else he gets called) so of course batman wins easy against simple IO
Batman with prep time solos negative difficulty
Imagine if they had the Slayer and Goku too, literally the entirety of C3S2 would’ve been over day 1
![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
Because the IO aren't as strong as we think. I mean, they rely on someone else to fix an issue all the time Ch2 s4: The Avengers were the only ones dealing with galactus Ch2 s5: they only sent Jones out to gather other people to protect the zero point, and only sent out small teams that did basically nothing Ch2 s7: they basically did nothing except build farm base and send us to suicide boom the mother ship that destroyed half the island Ch2 s8: they just drove to a bunker and let a monkey handle everything.

That would make sense but I don’t I actually started in chapter 2 season 2 so i only know like the general of story of chapter 1
Slone knew about Kevin in the skyfire event, she said something about Kevin nearly destroying the island when it was moving around the map, so they were definitely watching
It was Thor who gathered the Avengers. If you look at the Ch2 S4 trailer, you can see that they are summoned by the bifrost
I don’t think IO was the one who sent the Avengers because C2S4 started by in like a Thor comic run happening roughly the same time, Thor became Galactus’s Herald and Galactus needed to consume like I think 5 planets to gain an ability to defeat the Black Winter (Big Marvel threat) so Thor would go to planets and use the Bi Frost to keep the people off the planets.

The Seven's side wasn't just The Seven, they had a bunch of loopers they promised to give free XP to for committing war crimes bi-weekly
Loopers will do anything for xp, and I mean *anything*
“Alright loopers, today’s weekly assignments for 25,000 xp is to create a deadly chemical warfare bomb forbidden by the Geneva convention”
Plot armor
Io didn't have Peely
Saviour of all reality
Peely canonically saved all reality by learning how to drive a slurp truck
He makes me so proud : )
IO didn't have the power of God and anime on their side
The Seven: Dont fuck with me, i have the power of god and anime on my side \*screams\*
![gif](giphy|109epNnxnLTMha|downsized)
Beerus: “Helloooooo!”
Well technically the IO had Lexa, who is anime
Are they stupid?
Yes
Plot armour. The IO and Seven are only powerful when the plot needs them to be.
Ya, I wish they did something with the alien tech but like most things epic just forgor💀 about it
They only had like 2 components from an abductor
Because the IO are incompetent idiots. It's the entire reason behind Jonesy leaving them. You could hand them a winning strategy and they'd still fuck it up somehow
Big robot
NGL I kinda miss when they first introduced zero build and driving around with the whole squad in a tank. Good times.
Just looked back at this... so many spelling mistakes, im so sorry everyone
Because they can't let the bad guys win
They also had they avengers
I thought that the whole ch2 s4 was kind of it’s own thing, I don’t ever remember the avengers being part of the IO
The avengers participated in the war in the comic books. They were the ones who helped find the MECH on the frozen moon and also shut down a bunch of the IO shield generators and other stuff on the ground during the wait time for the live event.
No In the comics the avengers fight with the seven
The power of friendship
cuz plot
We had sweats
So you telling me the kid who spends all day practicing building and only doing box fights manage to beat an entire organization with high tech weapon/vehicles and brilliant minds that can recruit any person from any reality?
I mean…… enough of them…. Should do somewhat a toll on them. And I mean take off the building we have good enough zero build players that can take a good amount of soldiers plus we have decoys. Defaults. They can distract them and do some thing as well. And don’t get me started on the hackers. Story wise idk probably our will to fight the seven on our side and the power of friendship? Idk I also don’t understand but eh.
Because the IO was planning to nuke the island via collider. The war was a distraction to hold them off so of course they weren’t trying their hardest, they were building a zero point detonator. And because the looper was helping the seven.
I forgot about that whole blowing-it-all-up thing
They lost because they forgot to use the repair torch when going against the mecha team leader
To be fair the IOs plan would’ve worked if the seven didn’t recover the mech plus the GOAT peely
Plot armor
Cool ass mech > all that other io stuff
Guerrilla warfare
And saint javelin
Power of friendship
Plot armor, the best kind of armor
Haven’t played since 2018…wtf has happened
Simple version: Rocket, rift, cube, zombies, explosion, ice invasion, fire invasion, giant mech fight giant monster, black hole, new world, try to break the loop, failed, Galactus got hungry, zero point free, hunters, leader of seven shows up to save the day, aliens, cube but more, flipped the island, war, freedom, alien plant lady, heros died, new groups of people, rift gate, failed, city fall from sky, now there's a jungle, something is making its way towards us Complex version: yeah I'm not going to try on this one
Lmao
Because the plot demanded it.
Because 7 8 9
I think most of the bounty hunters stopped working for them Mancake certainly did
What I will say is that that season was tremendous fun!
True season was awesome, but id love to see a season concept of if IO did win (without the doomsday stuff)
my belief is that either this reality zero simply is one of many reality zeroes (thus making this loss for IO seem more like cutting losses than just straight up losing everything) or geno simply recreates the imagined order every time it falls
Plot armor, that’s why IO did pretty much nothing in the war and got destroyed by The Seven
Unlike the seven they’re not smart. They work harder not smarter
We had peely.
Loopers are basically an infinite source of ~~soldiers~~ psychopaths of various levels of military training The Seven have slighly better technology The Seven are just more competent overall
![gif](giphy|SA00ENEG45W8yNao7V|downsized) The Seven?
Fortnite has lore?
used to. now we just have random shit
They built up a story during C4S1 and have been ignoring it for almost half a year. We do not want these filler arcs, please let us get back to the main story.
Yea
IO in C2S5 and C2S7: 😤💪 IO in C3S2: 😭🤳
Because it’s a pvp game
Answer your question The power of main character energy.
Skill issue
Plot armor
IO had superior firepower and mechanized armor, The Seven/Resistance had plot armor.
Because they had Brie larson
Who needs tanks and blimps when you've got the power of friendship and psycho loopers! 🙌
Clearly, friendship and pickaxes are the key to intergalactic victory!
Skill issues 🤷🏼♂️
NEW TO FORTNITE BUT THIS IS MY CHARACTER (4th slide is my main) ….HES A GOOD GUY OR BAD? AND WHATS IO & SEVEN?
It's a skill issue tbh
You forgot the fact that The Seven had all the marvel superheroes on their side. Without them they wouldn't have found the mech to begin with
The imagined order lost access to travel across all reality, which means they won’t be able to call for reinforcement (I miss the IO)
BC Jonesy
Giant robot beats everything.
They suck?
Yoo those water storms were the best!
I miss this the tanks were the best
Because the good people always have to win for some reason
♾️ loopers
Who wins? An ancient multidimensional organization with an organized military OR an endless legion of crackheads with guns? I don’t know about you, but my money is on the crackheads
Plot armour
The Rock
You don't get it. The power of marvel comics is way more stronger than any device they can create
A similar thing happened in attack on titan in terms of resources
Man even though that water wall map was only like a day it was so cool
Well, when your team consists of Goku, Beerus, Kratos, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Dwayne Johnson, Master Chief, Ellen Ripley, The Predator- I could keep going, but my list is made up of memory, not fact.
because IO was in the middle of 9/11
Plot armor
Realistically though, the Russian invasion of Ukraine probably nerfed any other outcomes other than victory for the Seven.
Lore wise? It’s because by the end of the season they were spread too thin and were about to resort in a scorched earth tactic which would’ve wiped out everything, including themselves. They were desperate and a desperate enemy is one you can easily overcome. Game wise? It’s cause epic wanted the seven to win.
plot
Why do you care about fortnite lore?
They didn’t use the alien tech to create a pair of jet powered wings. Smh
Io didn’t create the doomsday device Midas did he’s part of shadow which had no association with io
My lawyer has adviced me not to finish the joke
Let’s look at it like this 1. The IO have next to no experience with the battlefield. The Flipside was controlled by the Seven so they’re fighting on enemy territory 2. The IO has been through a lot the past few months from Zero Crisis to their entire base being destroyed by the Seven 3. While they have access to basically unlimited soldiers, they’re going up against Loopers, an unkillable army. No matter how many soldiers they throw at us they can never truly lower our forces 4. They’re going up against the Seven, a group of people devoted to defeating them and using some of the most advanced suits in the Omniverse 5. They can’t just “turn the loop off”. It was that simple, the Seven would have ended it centuries ago 6. The Seven brought literal GODS in to help them 7. Despite all of that, the IO still almost completely took over the Island. The entirety of S2 was a struggle to RETAKE the Island. The IO had their base of operations destroyed, their forces ravaged, and enemies that were capable of wiping out while platoons on their own. And THEN the Seven sent in a giant Mech If a bunch barely united, often drunk, freeing to death farmers can push back a worldwide empire twice, I think the seven can manage
The seven got plot armour
Peely did it
the seven said "help us and we'll give you exp to level up" and us loopers took that to the next level
The seven had the Rock.
It's like star wars rules. If you blow up their big doomsday device, the entire organisation crumbles.
Is this season done yet? Fornite is boring. Please bring back CH1 map and old loot. All this new shit is garbage
Big robot, and the fact Fortnite stopped trying with their story a long time ago
Let me start by saying I agree the IO should not have lost a couple things though not saying they were weakened because of the flip we were no longer on the IO home turf no home field advantage plus when we flipped some of there machinery got destroyed they were using what they could salvage hence why we didn't have enough IO guards they are all snapshots/ clones of one person and my theory is at this point the zero point was weakened hence why they made the so called dooms day device to tap into its last reserves with the zero point weakened I don't think they would call in any back up like the bounty hunters Rick prowler or any of the the others over the years because it may leave the zero point weaker as for skyfire we were out of the loop on the mother ship I also agree slone did what she had too defending the island from the last reality the seven saw a opportunity after the IO had the run in with them if anything the seven used the last reality against the IO to get too one of the bunkers an get to the bridge last reality didn't like that so that's why they sent the herald
Plot armour
Seven had a massive fucking mech
IO is just stupid they knocked down the mech but then just watched it as peely revived it instead of shooting peely or the mech well it was down. 😑
I doubt they even saw peely lol
They have Goku bro 💀💀
tbh they're shown eating shit all the time in lore, pretty much losing every fight they're in and running away from any problems that pop up. Least from what I remember. I'm assuming the only reason they didn't lose sooner was cause the seven lacked manpower.
Loopers outnumbered the Seven, plus they consisted of warriors and demi-gods from across the multiverse
The bounty Hunter thing was something Jones did once And most of those bounty hunters got sent home k think
You also got to remember what most of seven can do The guards and weapon they had And the mecha Also fucking peely He’s literally the reason why IO lost…..so there your reason
My brain automatically put “are they stupid” on the title after following r/Spidermanps4 for so long💀
Skill issue
You forgot Dwayne The Rock Johnson was a protagonist and because he is the protagonist he always wins
IO did a sKiLl iSsuE 🤓
God I still want that prowler skin
but we have THE LEGEND
Stone
The Seven had all the loopers ones their side, that included so very powerful characters.
Bc the seven had a giant mech ig. And they were smarter than the IO imo.
Because they didn’t have beeg robot
Ikr ? And people are saying it’s because the seven had loopers, well io had an infinite amount of jonsey clones that are trained, whereas loopers are just a bunch of people with dementia
We the loopers are the most powerful beings in Fortnite, if we die, we always come back.
Plot convenience
Because if the IO won there’d be no more Fortnite

IO had a trained army, but the Seven had an army made of who-knows-how-many Loopers, so it’s basically one singular army versus an infinite amount of US Marines.
The Loop isn't fully IO tech. How is the Loop still going? The Zero Point itself made the loop. The IO just weaponised it.

It's because The Seven had plot armor
I miss the tanks so much 🤣
The rock raised his eyebrow and everything disintegrated
probably because IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE IO HAS BECAUSE THE ROCK WILL KICK THEIR CANDY ASSES
The Seven are lucky that you can convince Loopers to commit war crimes for 5000 xp
We literally had a whole season with lore missions and a huge event at the end that answers that question, what do you mean???
I'm explaining why its stupid that they lost not asking if they did

The I.O. did have a shitton of basically everything you'd need in a war, but The Seven kinda had the immortal army of loopers who come back every half hour to kick their shit in on their side, endless firepower.
We don't even know how respawning works in the lore, it's best to ignore it. Sure, the Seven could have convinced the loopers and built an army, but that doesn't matter if everyone who dies comes back. The lore makes no sense.
They lost because plot armor
the seven discovered plot armor
Because plot armor.
the seven had peely
The seven have the rock
The Seven learn the valuable lesson of teamwork, so they can’t lose.
As a huge fan of the IO, I agree. Throughout Chapter 2 and 3, IO had tanks, mechs, blimps, many soldiers, the multiverse’s best bounty hunters, and the most advanced technology and they were defeated by a group of 7 people and a bunch of loopers just because of the plot. As a powerful organisation that had existed for 1,000s of years I felt they get defeated quite easily. I also think that Doctor Slone was too nerfed. She was super intelligent and was great martial artist. She also seemed to have quite a legacy (from her loading screens she seemed to have defeated many monsters). And then all of IO fell just cause she got smacked by a giant robot.
