In the Reddit clip, u/AlmightyBicep can be seen navigating a top three situation. After successfully eliminating an enemy and securing one of the three Society Medallions dropped by the enemy, the storm was moving in, prompting the player to stay ahead of the safe zone. In a bid to exceed the storm's pace, u/AlmightyBicep decided to use the trusty old Shockwave Grenade to thrust themselves forward.
However, it seems like the Fortnite gods had other plans for u/AlmightyBicep, as the Shockwave Grenade being misplaced resulted in them being propelled into the storm by the unintended thrust. Undeterred by the mishap, the player attempted to recover and used another Shockwave Grenade, only to mess up the placement again and thrust themselves further into the storm.
With no other movement items in their inventory and the storm ticking for 10 damage per second, u/AlmightyBicep made peace with their fate. To add a touch of humor to the unfortunate situation, u/AlmightyBicep, clad in the Stash'd skin, performed the Sad Trombone emote, perfectly expressing their acknowledgment of the self-inflicted misfortune.
