Thanks to a creative 2.0 update in Fortnite, beer pong can now be enjoyed within the popular game. Beer pong, a beloved party game that originated in American college campuses during the 1950s, involves players attempting to throw small ping pong balls into their opponents' cups filled with beer, liquor, or water at the opposite side of a table.
Fortnite, the immensely popular battle royale game known for its crossovers, offers more than just intense combat. Its expansive and immersive world provides players with the opportunity to unleash their creativity through the game's sophisticated map editor. With the introduction of Fortnite's latest update, Creative 2.0, which grants users access to Epic's Unreal Engine 5 tools, creators can now earn revenue based on the number of players who engage with their custom maps, modes, and worlds.
Dexerto shared a brief 30-second video on Twitter featuring a Fortnite map designed by CodeD3V. The map presents a laid-back backyard setting complete with lawn chairs, umbrellas, and barrels of Fortnite's blue slurp juice. In the video, a player character can be seen inside a Baller vehicle suspended by a cable connected to a bar above a folding table. The Baller swings forward and disconnects, allowing the player to aim while airborne and attempt to land in one of the opponent's water-filled cups. Scoring a point requires successfully landing in a cup, resulting in the character's demise and subsequent respawn inside a new Baller for another turn.
This Fortnite mode enables players to take their shots simultaneously, as evidenced by another player whizzing by in a Baller. The game mode appears to consist of five rounds, each lasting approximately five minutes. Players aim to achieve a score of 10 points per round, as indicated by the score counter in the user interface. Considering both players are active at the same time, traditional beer pong practices such as re-racking remaining cups or redemption rounds are unlikely to apply. Additionally, it seems players have the ability to reattach the cable if they are teetering on the edge of a cup, providing an opportunity to secure the point.
CodeD3V's Fortnite map offers players a refreshing and entertaining arcade-style experience, a perfect diversion from the intense battles in battle royale mode. With Fortnite's Creative 2.0 setting new standards for players, the possibilities for exciting maps and game modes from talented creators are limitless. Fortnite can be played on various platforms including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
