Fortnite player breaks world record for most kills during rocket launch event
Fortnite: Battle Royale players were amazed by the highly anticipated rocket launch that took place today at 12:30pm CT. However, one player took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime event in a unique way.
A player known as “Elemental_Ray” shattered the Fortnite world record for most kills in a solo game by eliminating 48 other players. These unfortunate victims were eliminated during the rocket launch because Elemental_Ray destroyed their sky ramp, which was created specifically at Wailing Woods to watch the event.
A clip of this world record achievement was shared on Reddit, but the thread was ultimately removed and locked due to threats and witch-hunting from users.

It appears that Elemental_Ray used an explosive, such as a C4, to swiftly destroy the massive sky ramp. They ended up with 48 kills and were among the final 20 players remaining. Ironically, Elemental_Ray also met their demise when the sky ramp collapsed shortly after achieving the record.
The previous world record holder was Klaivert “Teeqzy” Dervishi of Millenium, who achieved 43 kills in a single game of Squads. Teeqzy’s gameplay was extraordinary and showcased his exceptional skills.
Despite never winning a solo game, Elemental_Ray has one duo victory and 10 squad game wins according to Fortnitetracker.com. For Elemental_Ray, it was likely not just about the kills; it was about making a statement.
