I tried to befriend the last player, it did not go so well… byu/internethunnie inFortNiteBR

In the Reddit clip, u/internethunnie can be seen in a solo Zero Build match in Chapter 5 Season 1, having made it to a 1v1 situation in a tight circle near Reckless Railways.

As they spotted the enemy cruising around in a vehicle, the player decided to seize the opportunity for a peaceful resolution and extended an olive branch to the enemy by initiating the Bear Hug emote and signaling their friendly intentions.

Initially, it seemed like the enemy, donning the Peter Griffin skin, was approaching u/internethunnie to reciprocate the Bear Hug gesture. However, the situation quickly took a turn, and chaos ensued when the enemy's initially calm demeanor ended up becoming a ruse.

Instead of embracing u/internethunnie in a hug, the Peter Griffin skin-clad enemy unleashed a barrage of shots from the Frenzy Auto Shotgun and caught the player off guard, inflicting significant damage.

u/internethunnie, undeterred by the jarring turn of events, quickly hopped into a car and attempted to get away. As the enemy chased after them, the player was able to propel themselves up in the air using a Shockwave Grenade and rained down a Shield Breaker EMP grenade on them.

The player then descended down on the enemy and was able to finish them off using the Mythic Frenzy Auto Shotgun, earning them the Victory Royale.

The Fortnite community's reactions to u/internethunnie's encounter going wrong were filled with amusement and hilarity as players expressed appreciation for u/internethunnie's quick thinking and ability to turn such a dire situation around.

Meanwhile, other players joked about how players donning the Peter Griffin skin are more often than not very aggressive and cannot be trusted. Some of the most notable reactions from the community are listed below:
