FORTNITE battle royale may be a competitive shooter, but friendships can still blossom in the game, like the one going viral on Tik Tok.
A Fortnite Tik Tok uploaded by @spacyss has racked up 12.5M views after posting a video showing a wholesome gaming moment.
The clip shows the Spider-Man Fortnite character intervening in the lobby to cheer up a player using Zendaya’s MJ after someone using the Venom skin was being toxic.
Later in the match, @spacyss’ Spider-Man comes across a towering sky base and climbs it to find the same Zendaya MJ character from the lobby at the top.
“I was going to kill this player [until] I realised it was the same Zendaya from the lobby,” read the captions.
After helping her build her sky base, the match drew to close.
“Then she sniped the last player, but that meant the end,” the video continues.
Of course, there can only be one player taking the win in Fortnite battle royale, so the pair would have to face off, but things took a an unexpected turn.
“I decided to give her the win for being so nice,” says @spacyss, who dropped their inventory for MJ and jumped off the tower. “But she saved me!
“She wanted me to have the win. She tried to jump off but I saved and jumped first.”
MJ saved @spacyss by building a platform under him, and when she jumped, he reeled her back to safety with a fishing rod, before plummeting off the edge himself.
“Blow this up so I can find her,” he concludes, and the internet has done just that.
MJ is @laucsfn on Tik Tok, and made a video from her POV with a similar request to get it to go viral in the hopes of finding the mystery Spider-Man.
But the wholesome moment is being ripped apart on the internet for being staged and cringey.
In fact an almost identical video with different character skins was posted by @spacyss before this.
“I’ve seen similar vids before. It’s the same dude literally making the same video over and over again,” said one Twitter user.
Regardless, the video has a ton of views so @spacyss is doing something right.
