Adventures of a Taco Head

Battle Royale duo victory from August 16, 2021. I admit this is a slow, uneventful game, but if anyone likes looking at the old maps for nostalgia, we do travel over a lot of scenic nature after landing at the fort near Believer Beach. My inventory organization and load out is still very bad here in these early games, but I am starting to dabble in building, be it ever so little. Building might have come in handy at the end, but any win is a good win, so there you go.

Fortnite has a funny glitch for me after this last update. When playing the replays the last emote I did in the lobby carries over after even after launching from the battle bus. So here is Lada Taco doing the Crazy Feet emote while floating down to the Rave Cave.

Turns out Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is still glitching! When playing the replays the last emote I did in the lobby carries over after launching from the battle bus! So here is Pico de Gallant doing the Cheer Up emote while floating down to the canyons.

Fortnite Battle Royale duos victory from August 16, 2021. We landed at the woodland sheriff’s home for bad gnomes to have quick access to the bubbler. We were a quest-driven team and we really wanted that Rift Tour swag. Again, on our way through the map we hit up a cosmic chest. I hated those things. Then the usual great deal of sneaky walking and my first time using a grab-i-tron at Dusty Depot. This round seemed to have a lot of players like me – not very competitive and just goofing around. I think this season had more of that than subsequent seasons have. That team at the end certainly did not fear us, not with their amusing grab-i-tron antics. They were not right to fear the Taco this time, not with that horrible aim. Lucky for me, Wottwin swooped in and saved the day.

Went to check out my replay and found out that the last emote I did in the lobby was carrying over to the drop out of the battle bus! So here is Spider-Gwen playing the jug in the air, as well as a bit of Pica de Gallo at the end.

Fortnite Battle Royal Duo win from August 15, 2021. The way this one begins, victory was doubtful as I got knocked within moments of landing. Luckily, my great partner saved my skin. I look back on this game now and laugh at all the things I didn't know, like lighting campfires to heal, basic inventory organization - and flipping cars. That would have come in handy after I flipped the Ferarri 296. Right after gassing it up after pulling into the station on fumes, too! The end of the round climaxes around some uncharacteristically nice shots on a mountain side, then panic as I lose track of the storm. All is well that ends well, and Wottwin went in to clean up at the end.

Fortnite Battle Royale Duo game from August 14, 2021. I loved the alien UFOs and weapons in this season. Landing on one of the big UFOs was guaranteed to get you some good loot. I also really liked the Kymera Ray-Gun - maybe because it was over-powered, or maybe because I think I could aim better with it! I would grab two and when one overheated, switch to the other slot and just keep going back and forth. It worked pretty well! Wottwin and I took out an angry shark this game, which looked awesome. We also did yoga with Jonesy! We didn't end up winning, but we held off elimination longer than I thought possible.

Fortnite Battle Royale duo victory from August 14, 2021, coming to a close around the Holly Hatchery. I can't take too much credit for this win. I had help from above.

Fortnite Battle Royale duo victory from 8/13/2021. It has still been only a couple months playing Fortnite for me and a few days for my partner Wottwin. We may be short on finesse, but we make up for it with sneakiness.

Fortnite Battle Royale playthrough from 8/13/21. When I first started playing duos with Wottwin, we won her first six games straight. We were definitely on a streak of beginners' luck. Meanwhile, after playing a few months, I have improved my building and driving skills only a tiny bit. My aim, not so much. Luckily - and I mean that - I didn't really need it there at the end.

Fortnite Battle Royale game from 8/10/21. There I was, a garden gnome, minding my own business when a bush crawls up my hill. Only its not a bush - its Batman. And I'm not a gnome - I'm a taco. And that story is why I love Fortnite. Stick around after that for a re-imagining of Batman V Superman. Anyone else kind of wishing the Propifyer comes back? Comment and let me know! What was your favorite prop?

Fortnite Battle Royale game from 8/10/21. My first time encountering the Prop-ifyer. I'm very fond of hiding in bushes, but this time I got to hide as a bush! It made for a delightfully tense ending. Too bad my aim isn't as good as my ability to blend in!

Fortnite Battle Royale duo victory from August 12, 2021. Dedicated to the memory of Bushranger. I am very fond of bushes myself. Sorry about the static when the subtitles come up, I don't know why Davinci is doing that.

Fortnite Battle Royale duos victory from August, 12 2021. It is amazing how different the game was just a year ago. My opponents' aim used to be a lot worse! (Nearly as bad as mine!) Thank goodness, because my gaming style is Oblivious. I have the hardest time figuring out which direction gunfire is coming from!

Fortnite Battle Royal duo victory from August 12, 2021. I watch this back and frankly find some of it painful to watch. I was so new, even at level 90! I was always passing up better weapons because I didn't know anything about them, driving like a maniac - and building!! Yikes!!!! Trying to reach that loot drop was the worst. Leveling up seemed easier then - 30,000 XP for picking up a grab-i-tron, 17,000 for searching a loot drop! That's one of the nice things about Fortnite, though. Some games can be frustrating when you just start out and don't know how to play, but Fortnite is still fun and accessible, even if you don't know what you're doing.

Fortnite Battle Royale Duos game from August 12, 2021. This was the date I started playing duos with wottwin. We won the first five or six games in a row that we played together - probably because she plays Hide and Sneak like me and together we were twice as cautious! She did get all the eliminations this game, so I'm not actually sure who is the noob here and who's the pro ...

Fortnite Battle Royale solo victory from August 10, 2021. Again I landed at my favorite bridge, but this time it out of the storm circle so I couldn’t linger. I had been playing for a few months but I still never organized my inventory or had any idea about the right firearms to carry or the proper loadout for them. The weapons situation really makes me cringe when watching these back. I can’t believe I won any games. But I guess it goes to show that it’s not about what you have, it’s about how you use it. Of course, generally my aim is incredibly horrible, so I don’t have that either. I guess it’s about playing to your strengths. My strength is sneaking around and staying patient. And making time for fishing. Keeps a taco relaxed for tough fights ahead. This round felt like a weird dream, between all the surprises and animals wearing alien parasites like hats. I ran into a player who was even less interested in fighting than I usually am. I appreciate their use of the propifyier. Sorry it had to go down like that. An opposing player ran into my bush and I had to defend my bushy ways. Thankfully had their epic shotgun in the end, otherwise victory might not have been my lot.

Fortnite Battle Royale game from August 9, 2021, chapter 2 season 3. I landed at my favorite bridge - it was right in the middle of the map and filled with loot, but it wasn't a named location and no one else ever went there, so I could start off my game with a nice loadout. Fishing didn't work out for me - apparently I am not a fish taco! Even though I was level 85 this game, it was my first season and I was still wet behind the ears. Watch me pass up blue and purple weapons because I had no idea how the ranking system worked or which firearms were good for what situations. Also, I played a very cautious game, trying to avoid players whenever possible. I got lucky this round because the first player couldn't avoid probably blew themselves up with a grenade launcher, and the second one was very low health and never bothered to heal up before encountering me! My caution won the day and I ended up with a solo Victory Royale for the round.

Fortnite solo victory from 8/9/2021. I enjoyed the alien season, but those parasites were so obnoxious! They did make you run fast though ... really fast.

Fortnite Battle Royale solo victory from August 8, 2021. In seeking victory I don't think I landed a single shot on my opponent, which definitely makes for a crazy win. Also features a boat chase and spontaneous combustion.

Solo Battle Royale victory on 8/6/21. My Fortnite strategy usually involved waiting patiently, and this round is a good example of some by-the-book patience.

This is a solo (very solo) Battle Royal round in Fortnite that I played on 8-6-2021. A very quiet and solitary match, but you might enjoy the nostalgia of the old map. And personally, I find anything humorous if a taco is doing it.

A taco-headed victory from 7/23/21, when I was still very new to Fortnite. What I like best about playing Fortnite is how different every game can be. This Battle Royale round started with a crazy encounter with a wolf, a desperate race for survival through the storm and a silly building strategy at the end that earned me a solo victory.

The finale of Fortnite season 3 chapter 2 (6/4/2022) with me, Lada the taco head. I am also playing Wottwin's tomato-headed character because she couldn't be there for it. If you notice, the taco and the tomato never move at the same time. I didn't know the two other players in the squad but they were awesome and a lot of fun to end the season with. Cheers!
