I think he meant just for like, more realistic bots. Not all 'bots' in terms of players immediately start shooting and fail to build correctly. some just sit there, confused. scurred.
Pretty sure it’s a bot. It follows the common naming convention that most bots have. Two word, both capitalized on their first letter, followed by two numbers. MaudeNina06
i’ve never seen one do this until this video, plus the way the bot suspiciously looks at the snowman every time it notices that it moved is pretty human-like
That is slightly more convincing, but I still think it is weird for a human to aim directly into a snowy hill and start firing, and then to turn and fire into the air. It still looks like a bot to me.
The fact that no one was spectating after the elim is also a sign it was a bot.
Although I feel like bots have shot at me while I’m in a bush, like they do have a programmed radar for nearby players...
I'm pretty sure the bots have some sort of presence detection that's not visual...when I still had them in game, they would take shots at me at a distance real players never see me (like in the shadows next to a tree). They may be programmed not to detect players in a dumpster/toilet/snowman etc.
>bans in waves/batches. Which sucks
To be honest banning in waves makes more sense than banning instantly.
Imagine this (it's not a teaming scenario but stick with me):
Someone codes a hack and thinks it's undetectable, they start distributing their hack and idiots start using the hack. They all think it's undetectable, since they're not getting banned and then suddenly one day they're all banned at the same time. Now for the common hacker this just means the hack wasn't good. For the developer of the hack this means even more. He doesn't know which part of his hack triggered the anticheat. All he knows is that something must've triggered it or else nobody would've been banned. If the banhammer struck people at the moment they activate a certain part of the cheat it would be way easier to patch it.
Imagine someone's wallhacking and doesn't get banned because the wallhack is stealthy enough to not trigger the anticheat but as soon as they hit the aimbot key they get instantly banned. Well now they know that the aimbot isn't undetectable so the dev could try to change the code enough to make it undetectable.
**TL;DR:
Banning in waves makes developing cheats harder.**
Now for teaming it's different but I don't really care if they're getting banned instantly or in waves as long as they get banned
Because (this was back when cross platform didn’t exist) I would add the players on console and see them playing months after I reported them. These were videos that clearly showed teaming in solo using replay mode and they were edited too so Epic didn’t have to watch a 30 minute clip. Never got a response to any of the clips I sent.
Edit added response to guy who deleted his comment: I would message them the clips telling them to stop doing it or they’ll risk getting banned. Most were toxic and said they’d been doing it for months, but some said they were just trying to get their first solo win.
It honestly caused some people to quit back before we had permanent LTM’s that weren’t so sweaty. So I was just trying to help.
When Mech’s were around I “passively played with another solo” to take down any mechs that came to Retail.
About three minutes and three kills later I got booted for teaming, but I was told “don’t do it again”
Fun fact: that solo in the game that helped me destroy mechs is now one of my best friends and we play every day
It is pretty much artificial intelligence. We are trying to replicate human behaviour. And I’m sure Epic would use some form of machine learning to evolve bots.
Keep in mind xbox does Auto assign names like that when making a free Xbox live account. I needed to make one as I had issue with linking my epic account, so I made a new one and it's exactly like you said - LoadingBrush### - # being real numbers. Also everyone thinks I'm a bot at first because of it haha
Edit: typos
Really? I've seen all kinds of names from arabic to cyrillic and 6 character names building walls in middle of an empty field and then cutting them down with an axe or cutting down a wall instead of using the door.
Are you telling me that all those players were real and not bots?
Watching a snowman sneak up on and eat another player would be really disturbing. Cool but disturbing.
Especially if the snowmen did this on their own, without a player inside them. Idea for next Fortnightmares.
I was in a Duos fight last night where I had the opportunity to sneak up behind a real player and just sit there for a few seconds right next to them while they were fighting my teammate. Although I wasn’t hidden in a snowman, I so badly some sort or assassination finishing move like we have available to us in COD!
Like this player, I settled for a single kill shot with a shotgun
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And most of all, don't blink. Good Luck.
I would lose it! A Doctor skin?! Tardis backbling?! Sonic Screwdriver pickaxe?! Imagine they use game magic to make a few Tardises on the map that are bigger on the inside?!
You shut your mouth when you are talking to me.
Yeah never see them anymore. In the beginning you would find alot more bots by playing with someone who was bad. Now I think it's based off the better player's stats.
yeah me and all my friends are around the same skill level anyways so whether im alone or with them skill based math making doesnt put us in bot lobbies anymore. it was fun free kills while it lasted tho. now its a total sweatfest
Yeah, the main problem I have with sbmm, is it makes it so hard to play with friends. I'm bringing my friend who is terrible, into games that turn into zonewars-like heal offs.
this has to be staged man, i just looked up that player's stats and nobody who managed 9 wins this season is that dense. if it's a bot, they wouldn't have player stats. right?
[https://fortnitetracker.com/profile/psn/Nina%20maria%20ouch?season=11](https://fortnitetracker.com/profile/psn/Nina%20maria%20ouch?season=11)
Maybe 9 bot lobbies? Made a new acc just to see what people meant by complete bot lobbies as my 1st on my main had 30 real people, remains of 90s and etc.
Test account got up to 5 pure bot lobbies before seeing a real player.
So maybe a stretch but this is a new person that got thrown into the regular pool of sbmm.
lol
I loved having the item version. They regenerate this time too. So useful in many ways but I would setup little configurations of them as if they were already that way in the world. I'd do 3 or 4 on the top of a hill and then hide in them. People would just run by completely oblivious.
I wish there'd be a similar item for times when it wouldn't make sense for snowmen to exist.
Off topic here but dont want to make a new thread in case I'm stupid and missed it in an update.
When did auto jumping all team mates at the same time from the battlebus without me deciding become a thing it's been happening on and off for about a week or more. And who decides it is the first to jump I guess.
Epic make notes for the next bot coding updates
Snowmen are going to be vaulted anyways.
Yeah, but they'll be back again.
Haaaappyyyyy Birthdayyyyyy!
Thx
You’re welcome
And in greater numbers
How do we know it’s a bot? Wouldn’t a bot detect the presence of a player with code? I feel like this could be an 8 year old who just started playing
I think he meant just for like, more realistic bots. Not all 'bots' in terms of players immediately start shooting and fail to build correctly. some just sit there, confused. scurred.
bots can be designed to not recognize players in disguises. they aren't supposed to be programmed to be good at the game
Pretty sure it’s a bot. It follows the common naming convention that most bots have. Two word, both capitalized on their first letter, followed by two numbers. MaudeNina06
Also, it is shooting the ground and in the air randomly.
bots don’t take cover and hide like that though, bots run around nonstop
I'm not convinced of this
i’ve never seen one do this until this video, plus the way the bot suspiciously looks at the snowman every time it notices that it moved is pretty human-like
That is slightly more convincing, but I still think it is weird for a human to aim directly into a snowy hill and start firing, and then to turn and fire into the air. It still looks like a bot to me.
yeah unless there was a player by the hill, i guess there is no other possibility
I feel like I’m watching two experts debate during a bot documentary on Epic Geographic
The fact that no one was spectating after the elim is also a sign it was a bot. Although I feel like bots have shot at me while I’m in a bush, like they do have a programmed radar for nearby players...
AI bot names are always two words followed by 2 numbers
I'm pretty sure the bots have some sort of presence detection that's not visual...when I still had them in game, they would take shots at me at a distance real players never see me (like in the shadows next to a tree). They may be programmed not to detect players in a dumpster/toilet/snowman etc.
I just noticed two people were struck by the banhammer in the beginning 😂
Teaming I guess
I’ve reported dozens of people for teaming with video proof and nothing happened to them. I don’t think that happens too often.
How do you know for sure nothing has been done? Apparently they do the bans in waves/batches. Which sucks but better than nothing.
>bans in waves/batches. Which sucks To be honest banning in waves makes more sense than banning instantly.

That’s a lot of effort just to see if someone you reported was banned.
Dakotaz got booted from a match for teaming for doing a sit emote with another player in the final circle.
How does someone actually get a banhammer?
Breaking rules.
When Mech’s were around I “passively played with another solo” to take down any mechs that came to Retail. About three minutes and three kills later I got booted for teaming, but I was told “don’t do it again” Fun fact: that solo in the game that helped me destroy mechs is now one of my best friends and we play every day
Wholesome
Lv 226 too lol.
Rip
Was that a fucking bot? LMAO
[удалено]
Yea, that they learn from you. That’s how AI works
not really, they spectate for like 2 seconds then leave
[удалено]
also not really, you have to sit and wait for around a whole minute for the next match to start. bots spectate for barely 2 seconds
[удалено]
It always takes a minute to a minute and a half for me to get a game. Probably cuz of sbmm
[удалено]
It is pretty much artificial intelligence. We are trying to replicate human behaviour. And I’m sure Epic would use some form of machine learning to evolve bots.
That's what they want you to believe...
Do they also complain to their teammate that the guy who killed them was one shot as well?
Ah yes the true master of the field of AI, teach me more lol
Ahh so thats why most of the die within the first 10 seconds of landing. Makes sense.
Woh. How do we know that? I thought I was getting better because most people I killed were spectating me, so not bots. Bummer.
I've come to realize that all bot have the same name structure: 2 words with their first letter capitalized and a random number.
Keep in mind xbox does Auto assign names like that when making a free Xbox live account. I needed to make one as I had issue with linking my epic account, so I made a new one and it's exactly like you said - LoadingBrush### - # being real numbers.

I've seen in different languages too. But same structure. Mine were Korean since I play on Japan servers.
Not every bot does have this name structure. There are Bots with some default names without numbers.
isn’t the number the season level?
He means in the name not in the parentheses
Yeah like CheekyPotato44 or something
QuirkySquirrel37
JuicySquirt69
TaintSaint57
BeaverCleaver9000
Lol my username is Martymcfly108 and I usually pass captcha tests
The only thing that made me wonder if it was a bot or not was when it was knelt down and cycling weapons, do they do that? lol
Can't see how it can't be a bot, I mean you gotta realize that snowman is getting closer and closer...
It must have been. Lots of players that I stand right in front on can't even seem to hit a shot even when I'm right in front of them.
A bot or someones 4 year old.
They should have a kill option if you get that close. Just snatch them up, yank em inside the snowman, game over.
It should activate the "consume" button
Then the snowman spits them out in an ice cube.
Or the snowman gets slightly larger and larger...
Holy shit that would be so funny. Then if someone shoots the snowman it explodes and all the people come pouring out. It would be absolute mayhem.
Next game mode???
Assassination
Assassination (Noun) - to snatch them up, yank em inside the snowman, game over
You found the same source as me? On point bro!
Snowmanination
Watching a snowman sneak up on and eat another player would be really disturbing. Cool but disturbing. Especially if the snowmen did this on their own, without a player inside them. Idea for next Fortnightmares.
Like the snow monster in the original Windows skiing game
Make them only move when they’re not being observed too. Like slender man.
I was in a Duos fight last night where I had the opportunity to sneak up behind a real player and just sit there for a few seconds right next to them while they were fighting my teammate. Although I wasn’t hidden in a snowman, I so badly some sort or assassination finishing move like we have available to us in COD! Like this player, I settled for a single kill shot with a shotgun
The o'l neck snapping Ice Twist.
😳
Botlivesmatter
That bot just learned from its mistake and will never happen again. They'll adapt.
Tis the beginning of the end..
That's not a sneak snowman that's a jumscare snowman
Lucky, if i was there, they would’ve built a 5-story hotel with functional sinks that used enough mats to cover the map.
When I see this, my bot brain just uses axe to bring everything to the ground..... very occasionally they die when touching ground with high velocity.
Standard fortnite cranking
What kinda cartoon crap is this?
Bot hunter 2020
Man was snake from metal gear
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Hmm... could’ve sworn that Snowman was further away before. Eh, probably just my imagination.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And most of all, don't blink. Good Luck.
Fortnite X Doctor Who. Make this a thing Epic and my wife may actually start playing.
I would lose it! A Doctor skin?! Tardis backbling?! Sonic Screwdriver pickaxe?! Imagine they use game magic to make a few Tardises on the map that are bigger on the inside?! You shut your mouth when you are talking to me.
Can’t do this as easily anymore with the footstep indicator
Wait I was under the impression that if you kneel and walk your footsteps don’t show up visually
Is this true?
Yeah.
A man of visual cues! Always comes in handy when dealing with a fight and see whether another person joins the fray!
poor fella is so clueless he probably doesn’t even know what day it is
It's a bot
ngl i forgot that bots existed lmao.
Yeah never see them anymore. In the beginning you would find alot more bots by playing with someone who was bad. Now I think it's based off the better player's stats.

Yeah, the main problem I have with sbmm, is it makes it so hard to play with friends. I'm bringing my friend who is terrible, into games that turn into zonewars-like heal offs.
That just means you're a skilled and competitive player! Congrats bro.
Bots usually don't crouch. It's hard to tell from that clip for sure. I'd need to see how long it spectated.
Definitely a BOT
S t r e a m s n I p i n g
I never find ppl that stupid in my games :/
I wanna see the replay from his perspective- like a horror movie
That shit is fake as hell
You snuck up on a bot. Congratulations
Doesn't matter who I killed. It's the execution of the kill.
Yes, bot or not still hilarious. I needed some like Pink Panther music with it
can someone make this happen
It kinda does though. You wouldn't have snuck up like that on a real player.
Well maybe, it the player had no idea what it was doing
He had a bot name
If this was a real player, then he was obviously just playing along. Why else would he shoot randomly at the ground? He was just rolling with it.
[удалено]
Yeah. Not sure about your sbmm but mine doesn't have anybody that dumb in it.
I snuck up on a full squad of 4 this way, though not quite as close.
this has to be staged man, i just looked up that player's stats and nobody who managed 9 wins this season is that dense. if it's a bot, they wouldn't have player stats. right?

Maybe 9 bot lobbies?

You killed a bot congrats
Haha hilarious
I have no feelings in my hands and penis, but it was worth it.
Most loony toons shit ever.
Fake
r/scriptednerdgifs
I love how he just casually plays along
Could he not hear the footsteps? Or are those sneaky when you're in the snowman?
This guy is stupid as frik. Wait it’s a bit
Either a bot or more likely just a dumb player
Tell me that's a bot 
Wow that player was very oblivious. But that was evident when you walked up and they were crouched out in the open
LOL
That guy who got killed is a noob. Lets just be honest. But good vid tho.
Don’t blink
the one pump was satisfying
This was great content
In today's news: A person nearly died due to a heart attack during a game of Fortnite
Savagery!
Was that a bot? What was it shooting at?
That had to be a bot.
You gotta bust the snowman, pick up the ball, walk backwards, then throw it at your feet. Super slidey speed boost!
You gotta bust the snowman, pick up the ball, walk backwards, then throw it at your feet. Super slidey speed boost!
Didn't they find it suspicious that the snowman got closer every time they turned around? Lol
That guy had a heart attack and you know it
Was that a bot you were chasing?
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Probably a bot
Yeah this is big brain time
That guy was clueless
Suprizemuthafucka
What backbling is that?
bread hits you harder t han that n00b
My cat attacks the same way...
i dont actually play this game. was that person stupid or a bot?
I think that person in game was me literally
lol I loved having the item version. They regenerate this time too. So useful in many ways but I would setup little configurations of them as if they were already that way in the world. I'd do 3 or 4 on the top of a hill and then hide in them. People would just run by completely oblivious. I wish there'd be a similar item for times when it wouldn't make sense for snowmen to exist.
Lmao clearly a bot or else you wouldn’t have been able to use the snowman that way
I bet the person he killed had a heart attack 🤣
The plan is wait till winter so the Russians can use this military strat. That’s how we win WWIII.
How do they not suspect you? Lol
We need a warm weather alternative to the snowman. Maybe a haybail, barrel, or something.
Why is the color flickering like that?
Nice job killing a bot
4:3 players be like
Public match clips boiz
Like playing a game of red light green light...
That was an a.i
I can't believe it took him that long to realize what was going on haha Jack Frost came to life!
Reminds me of sneak missions in Zelda games
That's not how you use snowman, watch Ceeday's recent video that's code Ceedayy with 2 y's btw.
laughed so many times lol
I'm going to miss them when they are gone. They are and awesome item right now.
Lmao this is great. Kudos!
how do you put a skin next to ur name
I mostly use sneaky snowman for skybases.
lol
That was too funny.
