Fortnite player falls victim to hired NPC boss betrayal

Fortnite’s gameplay is always one for the players who like to create epic moments during their quest for Victory Royale. The looped island provides plenty of resources that help players dominate lobbies and remain the last man standing toward the endgame. To achieve that easily, players would sometimes hire an NPC in the game who would assist them by either pinging enemies around them or even providing them with resources such as ammo and health.

However in the latest Remix season, NPCs have been made extinct and in their place, bosses are hireable only if you defeat them. So one Fortnite player did the obvious and got the boss to fight on their side until it turned into a brutal backstabbing moment for them that ultimately cost them the win. Fortnite player slams boss NPCs in Remix season making them lose games A Fortnite player named Reeves_Wilmoth shared the incident with a clip on the FortniteBR subreddit where they wrote, “Ice Spice is not only the worst addition this season, but also a back stabbing no good bot that cost me a crowned Victory Royale.



” As a context they shared the video clip of themselves camping on top of a Zipline tower with the hired NPC boss when randomly the boss threw a Chiller Grenade right next to the player, causing them to slide down and get eliminated by fall damage. The player in frustration further said, “I’m pissed off at this bots mechanics. I enjoy the mythic rifle and the grappler she drops, but her boy had messed me up more than helped me by throwing down damn ice bombs that shoot me 20 feet in the wrong direction every time I shoot at someone, even costing me victory royales like I showed above.

I had 8 elims and was top 3.” The incident sparked an outrage in the Fortnite community as players shared similar instances on NPCs costing them to lose in crucial moments during gameplay. As a solution, one player suggested, “Yea I dismiss her every match I win the Shark so she’s no longer following me.

” Another player who faced a similar tragedy shared, “She is the absolute worst. It took a whole team of us the other day to figure out how to make her stop throwing ice at us in the middle of nowhere with nobody else around. We tried dancing, we tried everything.

It took mad long & we didn’t even know what we did to get her to stop. It’s best to never have her with you. She is the worst bot ever introduced to the game by far & will likely cost you the match.

” So the next time you defeat a boss in Fortnite Remix, make sure to dismiss them as a follower if you don’t want them hindering your gameplay. To do so on PC, simply press your mouse wheel and click on Dismiss Follower under the Follower Comms wheel. On console, do the similar function by long pressing the left D-Pad.
