Love it or hate it, Fortnite is one of the biggest video games right now. With Epic continuously supporting their popular battle royale game, there seems to be no end in sight for every kids' favorite shooter. With the game becoming so popular, just about everyone knows what it is and loves to make jokes about it. After all, that's the best sign of popularity these days.
This has made Fortnite a gold mine for relatable memes. There are countless images that capture what it's really like to play this game. Without further ado, we'll be looking at 10 hilarious Fortnite memes that'll make gamers say "same."
10 SURPRISE!
Bushes are rare items in Fortnite. After spending a few seconds to apply them, players essentially become a walking, shooting bush. Those who know how to stay low and blend in with the background know how to catch other players off guard.
One second, you'll be running through the terrain, and the next, a bush just throws a grenade at you. Many times, players have been taken out of the game by someone who was crouching while camouflaged as a bush. Needless to say, it's a scary moment that forces players to constantly be on their toes if they want to win.
9 IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE PICTURE
One of the draws of Fortnite is its building mechanics. With the right amount of resources, players can construct all sorts of buildings either for a battle advantage or just for cover. Because most buildings are constructed so quickly, they often look haphazard at best.
Keep in mind that the intent for the game when it launched was for players to create some impressive buildings that would also function as tower defense centers for taking down zombies. Nowadays, those buildings are some of the ugliest things in the game that are dead giveaways as to whether there's a player nearby or not.
8 IT'S A SLIM CHANCE
When Fortnite begins, players hop off a big Battle Bus to pick a location on the map. Sadly, there are times when there are so many players all around that it's hard to pick where to land.
Sometimes, the only way to hit the ground before players can grab all the good loot is try and land on a building in Tilted Towers. While it can be good for the resources, it's only a matter of time before you get caught in serious warfare where players better than you just wipe the floor with you and take the resources you worked hard to find.
7 SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Fortnite is beloved because not only does it have a big mode for solo players to enjoy, but it others for teams of two and teams of four. People working together to win a round is fun to experience, but it can also be frustrating.
When your partner gets knocked down, you have a choice to either revive them or let them die so you can get all their loot. Believe it or not, there are plenty of people who would much rather get some more ammo and better guns than have a teammate working with them to win the game.
6 EVERY TIME
Traps are deadly in Fortnite not because of how good they are, but because they're not frequently used. This means that people camping out in certain spots who hide traps will often surprise other players because they weren't expecting it.
Unfortunately, when you try to warn your friends that there are traps ahead, plenty of them don't get the warning and barge in anyway. Even with the help of a full shield, those traps will still wipe the floor with them, putting your entire team in an extremely vulnerable position. Some players even manage to put traps behind stairs, so be on the lookout.
5 A WORTHY PRIZE
Wailing Woods has become an intense close-quarters battle since it was first added to Fortnite. Featuring a maze with a small shack in the middle, it becomes a battleground of shots being fired and grenades being thrown. Only the strongest or smartest players will come out on top.
When everyone first arrives there, it's a mad dash to get to the first treasure chest before anyone else can. The worst part is when you get loot that wasn't worth the effort. Make no mistake, opening a chest in Wailing Woods is very close to having a death wish. Go for it if you dare.
4 DON'T DO IT
Tilted Towers is one of the biggest locations in Fortnite, featuring several tall buildings and streets lined with vehicles and more loot to find. With it being so big, there are dozens of people that immediately travel there the moment they get off the Battle Bus.
In Squads mode, it's often a bad idea to even pass through Tilted Towers because of the sheer number of other people that usually hide there. If you have a teammate that decides to pass through or, heaven forbid, drop there in the first place, it might be better to just choose a different route.
3 SEE THE REFLECTION
There's not a whole lot of explaining that needs to be done with this meme. There's a running joke that Fortnite is a bad game that leads to a serious back and forth between those who love it and those who don't.

Either way, it's hard not to get a chuckle out of Epic Games finally adding mirrors to the game, giving every player a proper opportunity to see what their character looks like in a reflection. There's no doubt that performing a goofy emote while looking at the mirrors will only make their characters look more ridiculous in the long run.
2 I'VE SEEN IT SOMEWHERE
Epic Games has embraced the goofier side of Fortnite and reflects it with their new costumes. There are plenty of cool and silly outfits in the game, but there's one that looks a little familiar to fans of a certain undersea sponge. This orange fish outfit strangely resembles one of the background fish in SpongeBob SquarePants named Frank.
Is this Epic's way of getting the popular show some representation in their hit title or could it be one of Frank's more conspicuous identities? We need to get Bikini Bottom Mysteries on the case pronto. Either way, the color palette resemblance is uncanny.
1 A CONTENDER
While PUBG was the biggest battle royale game for a time, Fortnite quickly came and dethroned it, leading to more people playing it instead. While it seemed like Fortnite would rule forever, with Blackout not even being big enough to beat it, something came out of the woodwork.
Respawn and EA suddenly launched Apex Legends, which combines the stellar shooting of Titanfall with the class-based action of Overwatch. It's possible that this is the battle royale game that could soon dethrone Fortnite, at least with the more mature players that is. It really is the Surtur to Fortnite's Hela.
