Explosive gameplay of the Star Destroyer bombardment has been unleashed in Fortnite, sending waves of frenzy on the internet. The clip, just recently dropped on Twitter, probably offers the first occurrence of truly real-time, in-game footage for this unbelievably huge Star Wars-licensed event. Chaotic, destructive, everything you imagine from one giant space laser hawking hell below!
To just put it more plainly, what exactly is this trouble-bringing Star Destroyer? Judging by the footage, it looks like an environmental event put in play mid-match for a concussive orbital façade ruining everything in its wrathful path. One player sums this beautifully, “Bro it’s crazy! If you are below a Star Destroyer you are DEAD!” No kidding. The sheer magnitude of devastation is exciting some hardcore gamers, and others… well, let’s just say, not very happy.
Reactions in the replies are as mixed as ever. Some are all for it, declaring the whole event “fire” and hyping it up. The rest? Well, not so much. One threw shade by saying that Fortnite has been “pretty boring” since they lock down the overpowered collaborative items and events in the tiny late-game zones. And honestly, there is truth in that: if you can just walk away from the whole danger zone, then what fun is that?
And now, the more serious faces would certainly sweat blood over tournament outcomes. A French player jokingly said, “Not in comp or it’s gonna be a mess,” which… seems fair. Imagine trying to clutch a high-stakes match only for a Star Destroyer to vaporize your entire squad. Oof.
Well, the flip side of all of this? Some want more chaos! One reply frankly demanded, “I want to be able to control it with no set timer & absolutely destroy everything & everyone in my path.” Honestly? That pretty much sums up the mood. If you’re gonna drop a planet-killing superweapon into a battle royale, why not let players go full Emperor Palpatine with it?
Twitter aficionados had a field day with the usual set of clapbacks from the comments: “shut up” to “Twitter gooner telling me this nuh uh.” Classic. One even disparaged the merits of the current season, thereby proving yet again that gamers will argue about anything.
As for the Star Destroyer madness going live: There’s yet to be an official announcement of the exact date; this should be soon with leaks this detailed. If the gameplay is anywhere near as mad as it looks, then we’re looking at one hell of an update. Good or bad, that is where the interesting part starts – Fortnite sure never runs out of idea. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some more fine-tuning to do on our evasive maneuvers. Just in case.
