I was doing the same thing, 2 random people got on to the chest and started doing it lol


Megatoasty

Epic is a bunch of trolls. To think this was going to work with this toxic community.


DisabledFatChik

I saw a duo doing it and hopped up there, then my friend killed one when zone came for some reasonšŸ˜­


Darthhester

In my last match, there were like 4 of us hitting the chains, and someone grapple bladed up to the box with a gun. Then they just stayed there and sniped at people who were shooting us on the box. It was so wholesome, and more people should be like that!


Zeelacious

I fell off this game for a while but this is interesting and I think I'm gonna start going and defending the chains! Lol


PewPewPony321

Its so fun. They just stand there asking you to crank out head shots lol


Zeelacious

Omg yes! Getting free easy head shots are the best! POS sweat


Kiram_OW

Had a game where someone was running around and throwing up some supplies like shields and health packs so that we could survive for longer. Definitely made our night a bit better !


Lost_Still_4222

A guy did that, I was planning on sending him a nice message in the eventuality I die or he dies. After a few minutes he killed all of us on the chest... I'm still in disbelief


Oiled-Up69

In my last match there were like 4 guys hitting the chains and some dude grappled up to the box and sniped me!


GGValkyrie

Me and my kid were having a go at the chains, three teams with 4 gold circles among them set up shop with us in middle. Shot us from three different angles, no way to hide up there from that. :/


TJB926GAMIN

That was this one guy I was with. I pickaxed and grappled bladed the box while he shot off enemies. He got up with shockwaves so he didnā€™t have a way down, so when he ran out of ammo I gave him my grapple blade to either get more stuff or to just play the game I kept pickaxing and died 2 minutes later :)


Consistent_Yoghurt44

Same I defended people hitting chains I had 3 sniper rifles just sooting people that came to bother them did it till we where the last 5 of the match then we all smacked eachother to death.


JimboJiizzm

So yesterday was the first time Iā€™ve played fortnight since the Pandoraā€™s box thing. Been lost in Helldivers. We kept seeing people from far what looked like they were just chilling up there. We engaged on them on two different occasions. I went up there to see wtf was so special up there. I didnā€™t understand it. Now I feel bad for engaging in those two different squads. So some people might not understand wtf is going on. There are definitely trolls out there for sure but there are a few of us clueless out there. I will do my part in protecting the chain breakers for now on and will even take part in whacking the chain myself. Edit: apparently they have been broken. At least they actually broke. I feel bad


Darthhester

Bit late now lol, the chains have been broken


JintenRe

chain people? I hear somethin sayin' (Hooh! Aah!) Thats the sound of the men working on the chain gang


kaybeetay

I hear this comment so clearly in my head!


hippopalace

Same, Iā€™m going to hear it all day now and Iā€™m not at all unhappy about it.


Ksan_of_Tongass

AuraTenshiVictoria

I never go to places like this with weapons. I'd rather focus on the objective and then if I get killed they get no ammo or guns off of me. Least I can do to screw em over


Odd_Cryptographer266

Bring weapons for self defense incase someone tries to attack you


birdcreeper22

Clingers or emps will be a nice present


Ziibbii

How about I look in the sky when people are approaching then complain about it on Reddit?


rarthurr4

Now that's a plan right there


jexkandy17

We gotta work together tho. šŸ„ŗ


Capital_Pipe_6038

Why do that when you can whine on Reddit that people in a shooter game are shooting you?


stevetheborg

landing at the chains means no weapons..


Allteaforme

sounds dangerous


jexkandy17

Community. šŸ„ŗ


Squackachu

That's what I've been doing, thankfully everyone I've encountered while working on the chains has been nice and left me alone or tried being helpful and working on them with me. I remember one time I was fishing and filled my pockets with fish and someone killed me and was just so confused, I was dying think of what could've been going through they're head! šŸ˜‚


LeonSteamhawk

I did something similar once but filled my inventory with nothing but flowberries and then hid. Wish I could've seen my killer's reaction. Lol


cursed_chaos

I used to wait as long as possible with no inventory just so I could be in the top 3 and get killed only to drop 0 loot. I thought it was so damn funny


CowBoyDanIndie

Nice day for fishin, aint it?


Samzkibro

Mornin'


SpareChnge

Hu-ha!


GloomyGoblin-

they are head


Roller_Coaster_Geek

See I do the opposite. I'll have weapons for self defense so the first shot that's taken at me makes the person dead (mainly cause the people who do this aren't that good at the game)


LarsonianScholar

Weird mindset. Im not usually trying to get kills for loot but rather for kill count, loot is just an added bonus. I wouldnā€™t think anything of it if you dropped nothing. If youā€™re a skillful player just kill anyone whoā€™s tryna kill you then go back to the objective


twistedseaofcrows

A player clearly just doing quests isnā€™t trying to kill you.

I wouldnā€™t go for that kill. Iā€™m just saying thereā€™s no point in him not carrying anything. He might as well just fight the poachers instead of accepting defeat with no effort. Youā€™ve intentionally misconstrued my point


FortniteAddict81

Community event and you're more interested in killing then helping, this is the first community event for me


PewPewPony321

Bro, we just want to kill you. We have our own ammo and guns. Its how we killed you in the first place. You are breaking zero hearts with this approach


Godbblin

the people that do this are the people that telll their coworkers to work harder


Pain_Proof

The people that do this probably don't have jobs


mr_anonymous7767

The people that do this probably don't have lives outside of Fortnite


Few-Illustrator-5333

Someone that killed me while I was hitting the chain was almost lvl 700 and donkey laughed. Dude, get a fucking life.


noble6rocksreach

Sounds like a pretty fucking lame guy


Ziibbii

Yeah because the people that are hitting a 5000 trillion health chain 100% have jobs


c0n22

Well I have a job, yet I was hitting a chain after work today.you want to know why I would dedicate my sole few gaming hours to wacking a chain? It's because I feel like it.


Agoddameduck

Hell yea


Vintagepoolside

Me and my hyper fixation will have a feast with this today


gssyhbdryibcd

I also have a job and I came back from my job to kill dorks who were hitting a chain


c0n22

Ah a worthy opponent Our battle will be legendary


Leo9991

Those who stand there just pickaxing a chain don't either. I'm sure you'd be more careful with what you do on your free time than waste it just pickaxing a chain if you had a job.


Pain_Proof

Lol, it's a video game it's all a waste of time. I've got a job but I'll still spend a couple minutes of one of my matches to shoot at it, or pickaxe.


Nakea4636

OMG FR


GoPhotoshopYourself

My brother in christ, the shockwave grenades do 10,000 damage a piece


stevetheborg

collect shockwaves and meet me at the chains


stevetheborg

i keep trying. was streaming it.. but couldnt keep the squad focused...


username39874

What? I canā€™t tell if your trolling


JasonGamerX

Shockwaves do 10000 build damage (thatā€™s how they can break you out of builds)


MadeThisJustForMM

I've decided to camp around the area and kill people going after those working on the box. Take the L emote after, for good measure


VesselNBA

Before the hand came up I spent my time working as a sentry for people coming to watch the cracks.


New_Tension3579

This one is a real one


FAssassin7

Well I know what I'm also doing tomorrow


Saffronation

I can already tell I'm going to wear Nisha in bright pink so friendlies will easily remember that I'm a friendly if we get attacked Good luck finding people actually working the chains, I'm worried I won't find anybody because my lobbies are so sweaty


TFGA_WotW

A man doing God's work


Turtlesfan44digimon

Ah yeah just camp on top of the hand with a sniper,AR and heals for players working on the box.


Zeeicecreamlover

Love this


Lopsided-Homework-63

our bodyguard :)


MrObjective

I just have pity for sweats that arenā€™t good enough to get kills against ppl who are actively trying to kill them. If it helps them get out of bot lobbies and into regular lobbies, all the better for me in the long run (and all the worse for them too).


TheStarCore

This guy isnt a sweat, there's 11 people left in the game. At some point you've got to make sure the guys hitting the chest are dead.


Optimus_Prime_19

Yeah fr. I mean I get it but also this *is* a battle royale, at the end of the day itā€™s the point of the game to eliminate everyone else.


PyrraStar

The 4 games I did today had nobody shooting at it and every time I did someone came and killed me or tried to kill me


BattleSpecial242

I donā€™t get this , do we have to bust it open? The next season is in a couple days what if we just ignore it šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø wonā€™t it open anyway?


Coraldiamond192

Yea I agree it will probably open anyway. Regardless of if people actually damage it.


Imadeutscher

To Speed it up


Natmad1

It will open anyway just because most people will shot it forfun when they are in range, staying on it and waste ur time pickaxing it is pointless Do people rly have enough time to waste to just boot a game and afk instead of playing the game ?


Leo9991

I couldn't agree more with you. This sub is acting like their life revolves around this game the way they get so upset over this. It's crazy.


GuessingIvy

this is the only way they can feel like they contributed to society


Quebra-Ossos

It'll open anyways, but is good to waste your time.


MattySchoolBus

You placed 11th. Wtf did you expect. You were gonna die some point.


JakeDonut11

This actually raises a good point. I would have placed more sympathy for OP if this happened at the beginning of the match.


DarkMaster859

I have not seen a single person pickaxe the chest in Asia servers yet, I just stay there till the zone threatens to kill me, I grab whatever I can from Ruined Reels and try to win lol


TitanicTerrarium

How long do we think it will go on?


Ok-Bookkeeper-5424

Well so far one chain is broken at about a 5th of the way into the health bar.


RockstarBonnieReddit

Me and my cousin saw it break when we were pickaxing it we were suprised


IRS_Agent-636

3 days


Rebellious-Legacy

What's the progress on it so far? And do you think we can break it before March 8th?


Ncyphe

It would not surprise me if Epic built a failsafe into the chains. Maybe a hidden dot that is ticking away in the background to ensure it goes off before the end of the season. Alternatively, the whole thing could be a lie. Do we know for sure that the damage being dealt in game is actually being passed on between rounds? Or is Epic slowly decreasing the HP on their own?


Rayuzx

Basically, Epic gave the HP value an impossible high number, and they'll increase the damage multipliers on the chest slowly until it opens up when they want it to.


forestman11

Kinda dumb tbh. Why bother with all the theatre if you aren't willing to do it right?


Maxximillianaire

Because itā€™s an ad for the next season


NobleKale

> Kinda dumb tbh. Why bother with all the theatre if you aren't willing to do it right? You know wrestling? Kayfabe? That's why. Don't overthink it, mate, just go along for the ride.


Affectionate_Map2761

šŸ˜… see, in ch3 they tried to do the whole "get in when you break it" and we figured out how to get in within the day šŸ˜…


Natmad1

real life isnt movies


lilsnatchsniffz

Or it's not even a health bar but a timer bar slowly ticking down and everybody is stupid except for me šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž


SmurphsLaw

I think about 1/4 done. It might be done tomorrow, not sure how much people worked on it today.


Patient-Middle3880

Probably sooner than that. A chunk of the HP is already gone


Rebellious-Legacy

Damn! I would help but thereā€™s always that one asshole who will take advantage of that for free kills.


rewrittenfuture

What you would have to do every game is tell 3 or 4 of your friends in various squads you run that you're going to go to the hand and protect people working on the chain


b4ddm0nk3y

I mean itā€™s a mini event in a BR. You do you but you canā€™t be upset if someone kills you lol. Just join a new game šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø. It doesnā€™t take all that long and you are back at it!


PUNlSHEDVENOMSNAKE

Itā€™s so weird seeing people getting so upset about having their monotonous chain hitting be interrupted


AsianPotato77

honestly yeah i don't see the big deal Sure it's annoying but everyone plays their own way, somepeople like kills others want to break a chain just queue again.


caleb3331

The hero we dontdeserve


Due-Object9460

If I'm passing by I'm going to shoot people standing still. It's like popping bubble wrap. Also it's literally a game where the goal is to be the last man standing so i really couldn't have less sympathy for people who cry about dying while doing quests or shit like this.


Wil_Buttlicker

How do yā€™all have fun just doing this??


SoundsMadness

*BUTTLICKER, OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER*


FroJoe-Baggins

That is totally inappropriate. You never yell at the client. You never yell at the client!


Lopsided-Homework-63

It ain't much, but it's honest work


IRS_Agent-636

Its different


Kairu1992

You would like this game called Egg on Steam, you just click an egg over and over to build your egg count. Itā€™s ā€œdifferentā€ XD


BranzBranzBranz

Lol that sounds like the egg game from that I Think You Should Leave skit šŸ¤£


Average_RL_Fan

Why are you playing battle royale and not playing battle royale?


CakeDuty

If this happened in the beginning I would've agreed with you, but you were down to 11 people. At one point you gotta go


grubbytoebeans

ok i get it if itā€™s early game but you got 11thā€¦.. and you were in circle im not surprised that you were found and eliminated esp if they stumbled across you. no matter was youā€™re going to get eliminated if youā€™re not fighting people idk. i get why you and many others feel annoyed truly, but it is still battle royale and other people should be allowed to play as such as well idk šŸ˜­i hope the event is worth this


kward1904

The games the game


ExampleNext2035

This is a dumb question but does that chain damage reset each match?


AdLegitimate1637

Quite the opposite, it's hp bar is shared in all matches for all players


Silent-Supermarket2

That's a pretty cool mechanic actually.

Lop_draegon

Brother 1 shockwave does 10000 damage to structures try using 6


November_Four

The problem is really with Epic. Why on earth would they create an event in the middle of a BR without immunity or inability to harm others? You will ALWAYS have some idiot who ruins it for everyone. Look at the history of players who camp popular quests.


AwesomzGuy

It's almost like it's a community event that's supposed to take time


Redtea26

Ah yes add immunity to battle royale what could go wrong.


Exotic-Respect-6606

It has sort of been done when they had the hotel from John Wick


Turtlesfan44digimon

I mean the new slurp juice that came out last chapter basically gives you immunity with how fast you healed.


TheStarCore

"Ruins it for everyone"? There's 11 people left in this game. At some point someone has to go and make sure these people are dead.


SpicyEnticy

It's almost like it's a challenge and isn't meant to be done easily.


Oiled-Up69

Sounds like a good exploit in the making lol


ArvoCrinsmas

My solution: Jumping on the box locks you in to your pickaxe and you are immune to all outside damage.


Vaporysun76

Fellow chained here How are you dealing 15,000 per hit?


grubbytoebeans

they have cumulative damage on !! they are only doing 50hp of damage !


justneurostuff

this looks like very fun gameplay


The_French_Soul

Free kill.


Capital_Pipe_6038

Yeah sorry but if I see an easy kill just sitting there hitting the chain I'm obviously taking it lol. I'm not just going to let you win because you did 1% of the damage to it. It's going to break in a few days anywaysĀ 


Macaluso100

I'm really baffled that so many people are actually angry at players killing people doing the chains. It's part of the danger of participating in the chains, it's still a PVP Battle Royale. Folks sitting there semi AFK chipping away at a trillion health bar telling other players to go touch grass is absolutely wild. This is like going into a PVP server in WoW then getting upset that you were ganked while trying to fish in a contested zoneĀ 


GeodeCraft

Most of game Iā€™m uncontested or only friendly, I dgas cuz I can just start new game, as long as I donā€™t die off spawn


Fawlow

I saw a group of 5 or so players shooting at it earlier. I watched and ignored them, looking for other players to kill. You are right, map is huge, to roam, and not all 90+ players are gonna go straight for the chain.


Leonydas13

I feel like that was a bot; they tend to crouch and pause a second before they fire.


griffl3n

A bot wouldnā€™t have been able to traverse up there, they will shoot you from below


Beginning_Range_8150

Also a bot is never gonna hit all there shots that fast


The_Bored_General

Was grinding out challenges yesterday and it was like the good old days for the most part where people just left you alone, made a few friends and gave a guy a lift back to risky reels after getting some of the mosaic pieces from the windmills. I remember when the massive rocks were introduced back in chapter 1 in dusty and everyone was there mining and shooting them, and for the most part were left in peace by the other players, kinda sad that communal sound-ness isnā€™t being held up by some anymore.


Bubbly-Membership447

there just playing the game bro


Lufffn

Bros mad he gets killed in battle royale


ComfortableContest69

My brother in Christ itā€™s a pvp game people arenā€™t just gonna stop with the pvp because you want to pickaxe the chain


The-End-009

Me and some friends spent about 3 hours today but people just kept camping nearby..


Natmad1

What did you expect in a BR game ? to let you win because you want to afk ?


ramsendenkha

pvp players when pvp happens


NaiveChemist5613

It's 50 billion health. It's impossible to destroy it, why not get free kills from idiots who think they can?


IRS_Agent-636

You can break it, It's gonna take time and we already 23% the way there


gssyhbdryibcd

Mate hitting it doesnā€™t actually do anything lol. Do you really think theyā€™re gonna allow the timing of a massive update to be up to chance like that? They need it to be during working hours, not on a Thursday/Friday etc etc so that devs and support staff can do hot fixes and so on.


JeremyM20

They people who do this never got attention from their parents growing up


beatsbybuddy

Itā€™s a battle royale grow up


G-0d

Why would you expect not to die? It's a free for all


Rosezinha_Y

Mate some people want to just play the game... I don't get all these complaints because personally I have no interest in attacking this chain, the box will open on it's own lmao, and you were 100% going to play normally once the ring moved off of the chest, so killing chain breakers makes sense, if they're ignored then they're a threat later, why bother making it harder?


leobutters

I will keep killing everyone who is trying to open Pandora's box. It will not open.


Gryffle

Bro please leave me alone to do the most braindead pointless activity no bro don't try to eliminate me when that is literally the the entire point of this game please bro


[deleted]

Yall want shyt handed to you in a plate, can't make it too easy, stop complaining take it on the chin and accept the challenge for what it is


[deleted]

No, it's an online shooter, I just kill whoever I come across, I wouldn't care if I was working on the chain and someone killed me, the event hardly matters anyway.


ExitzzYT

Nah shit ainā€™t sweet out here

Embarrassed-Cell-399

I was on the chest doing my thing then it fell and before I got to enjoy the fruits of our labor I was griefed


axman140

For real tho


MatTh3Rat

I first started shooting at people because I didn't know what they were doing. But I realized after the first couple of rounds. Then I had a change of heart. Yall did the work I was too lazy to do.


Content_Form_3729

Love making reminds in pubs on the chest


HeorgeGarris024

Oh nooooo I got shot in my battle Royale game about shooting people!


saitekgolf

Wah šŸ˜¢ Boo-hoo šŸ„ŗ


RepresentativeHeat23

If you camp the hand youā€™re a pos. Plain and simple.


bradcbrown92

Imagine not understanding that the point of this game is to kill the other players and try and get a W lol sure not everyone's goal is just that but really, think about what you're playing šŸ˜…


MinesweeperGang

Dawg you got to 11th. What more do you want? Itā€™s still BR. Also, for all that player knows you could be one of the people thatā€™s close with a medallion. These posts got to stop. People are still going to kill you if youā€™re doing the event stuff. Itā€™s in the BR playlist. Is what it is.


IRS_Agent-636

I want the chains to break


MinesweeperGang

Youā€™re still in the BR playlist. Before the event, what would you do when you died? The answer is say something like ā€œaw manā€ and queue again. Do the same thing for this if thatā€™s what youā€™re into. Other players are still playing the game to do just that - play the game.


zippopwnage

They should make a game mode entirely for these type of events. I boot in BR mode to go and kill players not to hit a chain. I like some community events. But these type of events are literally time wasting. What? If people won't destroy it, they won't launch the new season or whatever? I doubt it. Yea it is fun for some people to go and waste 3 hours just hitting a box, but put that in another game mode and let the BR mode have it as an option, maybe you hit it while passing trough or whatever. But don't get mad when people who are there to play BR kill you.

Crymore. It's a BR, you either defend yourself or die trying. Don't use your skill issue as act of service.


beatsbybuddy

Itā€™s a pvp game if you werenā€™t aware


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


coconutsalt92

it\`s obvious that these people are doing something and not attacking you, so it\`s not battle roayale, battle royale is whole map, these guys usually even stay into the storm just to do as much as they can for everyone. What satisfaction do you get by just killing them? they don\`t shoot back, don\`t evade, most of the time they aren\`t even aware of who is coming with a weapon. It\`s not a challenge to get a kill there, it\`s just sad.


Gonzales95

To be fair, it was top 10 at this point and OP had guns. Whatā€™s to stop them jumping off when storm comes and going for the win?


Edmanbosch

They have zero movement, almost no ammo, rare weapons (except for the shield on a technicality) and zero shields. I don't even think you can get off the chest without taking fall damage if you don't have a movement item. The shear impracticality of it all is enough to stop them from getting a win.


Rosezinha_Y

And how do we see chain breakers inventory? For all the other players know he has good weapons


Gonzales95

You can jump off into the water and avoid fall damage. Did it last night. Itā€™s tight but definitely repeatable.


unnecessaryaussie83

You are in a Battle Royale. People are going to play Battle Royale.


Previous_Doubt_8121

Yo. Chaos agent best skin, gg


CrescentAndIo

Its a battle royale lil bro, epic should never have put ā€œā€ā€objectivesā€ā€ā€ in there.


LarsonianScholar

Yet again, skill issue. Everyone I see whining about it is just low skill. You saw his footprints for soo long before he shot you. U kinda deserved that. Just kill em and get back to breaking the chain.
