In a scene as competitive as Fortnite, it takes something truly extraordinary to stand out. Enter Peterbot, a player whose performance in the finals of a recent Fortnite tournament has left both fans and fellow pros in awe. With 83 eliminations across 10 games—an average of 8.3 per match—against the best players in his region, he secured a win by over 120 points. This isn’t just dominance. It’s a masterclass in how to play Fortnite at the absolute highest level.

Perfect Early Game Planning: Crime City and the Vault Route
Landing at Crime City
Peterbot consistently lands at Crime City, a POI with an underrated feature: 31 slurp barrels, the most of any location. This allows Peterbot to leave fully healed without wasting inventory space on healing items. In games where he isn’t immediately contested, he prioritizes fast eliminations to gain siphon mats, giving him early material advantages.
Once the POI is clear, Peterbot heads for the vault, collecting 800+ gold and two Dill Bits—a critical part of his route that sets him up for Black Market buys.
Using the Train to His Advantage
Another key part of Peterbot’s success is his smart rotation to the train, which guarantees a Mythic Pump Shotgun. Even if the weapon has already been claimed, he tracks the player holding the unstoppable medallion on the map. Peterbot then chases them down across the island—often for several minutes—to secure the mythic pump and additional Dill Bits for more Black Market upgrades.
Mid Game Mayhem: How Peterbot Wins the Hardest Fights
Once Peterbot enters mid game, he truly shines. In games where he survives off-spawn, he averages five eliminations between zones 3 and 9. His fighting style is a masterclass in timing, positioning, and game sense.
Positioning and Crosshair Discipline
In a standout play, Peterbot engages a player who lacks full structural coverage. By keeping his crosshair in the center of the wall, he guarantees his pickaxe connects regardless of the opponent’s edit.
He doesn’t just rush in—he uses smart edits, ramps, and resets, keeping himself safe while applying constant pressure.
When to Use the AR and When to Pump
Peterbot’s weapon swap timing is elite. After using the shotgun to replace a wall, he often pulls out his AR to spray down edits, anticipating the opponent’s next move.
In one brilliant example, he reloads his shotgun mid-fight to keep pressure up. If his opponent edits, Peterbot can immediately shoot. If not, he’s simply reloading—turning dead time into productive, calculated pressure.
Mastering the Gold Splash Phase-In
A newer meta in Chapter 6 involves using gold splash movement buffs to phase through walls. Peterbot executes this perfectly: landing big damage, using the splash to increase movement speed, and phasing into boxes with pinpoint timing, finishing opponents before they can react.
Endgame Expertise: Box Fights Over Sprays
Unlike many pros who favor spraying from the front side of zone, Peterbot prefers box fighting in endgame. He often scouts while rotating, boxing next to weak players to set up controlled 1v1s.
He rarely takes unnecessary fights, but when he does, he either:
- Boxes a target and isolates them for a 1v1
- Scouts ahead, letting other players rotate and reveal weak targets
- Beams from mid-ground, then rotates ahead to finish the eliminations
This combination of patience, mechanics, and positioning makes his endgame refreshes efficient and safe.
When Peterbot Dies: A Trend Emerges
Despite the dominance, Peterbot died early in 5 of 10 games, and a trend emerged:
- In nearly every death, he was face rushed by an opponent with an auto or outlaw shotgun.
- His off-spawn deaths often came after strong starts but were cut short by aggressive close-range rushes.
In other words, running into his face with a powerful shotgun seems to be one of the few ways to beat him—though it’s hardly a consistent counter.
