MrSavage marks the longest Fortnite kill, sets a new Guinness World Record

MrSavage, a former Fortnite pro, set a new Guinness World Record after eliminating an opponent in a Fortnite match from a distance of more than 1 km.

As part of a Red Bull–sponsored challenge in Lofoten, Norway, Mr Savage endured freezing temperatures while attempting to eliminate opponents at varying distances in a Battle Royale match. Mr. Savage, who has almost 4M subscribers on YouTube, eventually moved his monitor over 1 km away in his final attempt.

On March 22, MrSavage unveiled his Fortnite world record attempt in a YouTube video titled, ‘I DID THE LONGEST ELIMINATION IN GAMING (IN REAL LIFE).’

He started the challenge with a typical setup. This included keeping his headphones, keyboard, and mouse positioned at a standard distance of 30cm. He progressively increased the distance after each successful kill. After securing his first elimination, he moved over 3m, 15m, and then 500m.

Upon reaching the 500m mark, MrSavage had to use a telescope to view the monitor.

“I mean guys I can’t believe we are even trying this,” he stated before landing a kill using the screen positioned across a wide body of water.

In his final attempt, MrSavage was at a distance of 1,161.31m, on a snowy piece of land. “This is actually really hard, I can’t see anything,” the streamer admitted.

After the day turned into night and numerous attempts, MrSavage ultimately managed to eliminate an opponent during a match.

Shortly afterward, he was awarded a Guinness World Record along with a certificate for achieving “The longest distance elimination in Fortnite using a telescope” at 1,161.31m.
