An all-new chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale is about to begin on December 5, 2022. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot to do on the island until the Fracture live event. Most players are trying to unlock all the rewards or complete their Battle Pass. However, there are a few people who are just waiting for the next Chapter to arrive.

Popular YouTuber KobesMind has been trying to create interesting Shorts ahead of the Chapter 3 Season 4 event. Kobe has been spending a lot of time testing things in the Creative Mode. In some of his latest videos, he has been trying to see if he can crash the game by blowing things up.

KobesMind recently tried to accumulate around 100,000 gas pumps and blow them up to see if that crashes the game. The YouTuber was extremely excited about his experiment and couldn't wait to see the results. He was really hoping that all the exploding gas pumps might end up giving him the desired results.

Fortnite YouTuber tries to blow up the game in Creative Mode

Besides the classic Battle Royale experience, Epic Games offers a lot more that players can do in the Creative Mode. From speed-building challenges and aim courses to XP glitches and other interesting games, the Fortnite Creative mode is truly a state-of-the-art concept. Interestingly, it also allows players to spend their time trying to perform crazy experiments in the game.

YouTuber KobesMind picked gas pumps from the Fortilla Gas Station build in the Creative Mode. He spawned hundreds of thousands of them, close to each other, hoping that blowing up one would lead to all the others exploding due to the impact. Once he had spawned a sufficient amount of pumps for his experiment, he was ready with RPGs to blow them up.

Unfortunately, the RPGs didn't have the desired effect Kobe desired. While they did blow up the gas pumps in their explosive radius, it did not trigger a mass chain reaction of explosions. Following the failure of the RPGs, the YouTuber decided to use the Explosive Goo Gun to blow up the gas pumps.

The Goo Gun was certainly more successful as it exploded most of the pumps, making Kobe's game lag. Unfortunately, it still wasn't powerful enough to crash Fortnite. In a separate video, Kobe tried something similar with Gas Cans and it certainly had the desired effect.


Unreal Engine 5 will change Fortnite Creative forever

Fortnite Chapter 4 is on the horizon, and with it comes Unreal Engine 5. Data miners have confirmed that UE5 is ready for release and will come a month after the new Chapter. It will completely change the way the game is played, as the new 3D graphics engine will offer players a lot more creative possibilities than before.

Although the map and gameplay will receive significant upgrades, the Creative mode will be impacted the most. Players will have many new textures and devices to create the island of their dreams with Creative 2.0. They will also be able to add new and more realistic NPCs to the game with UE5. Clearly, YouTubers like KobesMind will have a lot of fun once the engine arrives.
