Fortnite is a popular third-person shooter game of the Battle Royale genre. It features multiple core modes, namely Creative Mode, No Build, Save The World, and the original Battle Royale. So, there’s something for everyone. However, Fortnite can quickly become competitive as you push through the lower ranks. In fact, there are several ways you can showcase your expertise in the game.
Competitive and casual are two sides of the same coin, the coin being shooter video games. It depends on how a fan or a player wants to experience it. However, multiplayer video games often turn out to be more competitive than casual. We always feel the need to prove our skills in front of our teammates. The result? A booming video game content creation industry!
Fortnite is definitely a massive part of content streaming today, with streamers and creators from around the world showcasing their pro-gameplays, trickshots, flicks, and more. For example, a competitive Fortnite player named, ‘Walkerrz’, recently posted a video of him performing a ‘sweaty’ trick shot on Twitter. Unexpectedly, the tweet went massively viral with over 5.4 million views, as of writing.

‘Sweaty’ is a term assigned to Fortnite players who love deploying unnecessarily complex moves upon their enemies to kill them impressively. Basically, they can kill the player normally with a gun standing on the ground. But instead, they choose to build massive but impressive structures really fast to dumfound their enemies and then kill them.
Twitter reacts to Walkerrz’s Trick shot
Walkerrz showcased his trickshot, but the internet was quick to dismiss his talent because it was ‘unnecessarily sweaty’. However, the video did receive a lot of likes and views. In addition to the unprecedented hate, a number of competitors have also left ‘I am better than you’ comments on his post.

i respect the editing skill bro, truly noteworthy. But this amount was so unnecessary it's actually nauseating, it's clips like these that people use to make fun of the game and it's player base because like, you did the absolute most for a single knock? Not even a kill, a knock. pic.twitter.com/1OXW3wOMTF

At least some support.
Why you assume sweats don’t go outside and “touch grass”? Just because someone is better than you at a video game doesn’t mean you have to shit on them. Every game has sweats but Fortnite is always the one where if you’re good at it you get bullied? Doesn’t make sense
