• On Saturday, June 30, there was a scheduled event in Fortnite that featured a rocket launch that had been hinted at for a while. 
• Many players decided to form a non-official peace agreement in which everyone would watch the launch together, instead of attacking or killing each other.
• One player, Elemental_Ray, broke the structure that players were standing on in his game - killing 48 of them, and setting the new record for solo kills in Fortnite.
• Some players thought it was hilarious, others felt like he ruined the fun for people in his game.

Before Saturday's rocket launch event in Fortnite, Elemental_Ray had a 0.47 kill/death ratio and a 0.60% win ratio. After, he held the record for highest amount of kills in a solo match.

He achieved this by taking advantage of a sort of peace agreement that many players had made in order to watch the rocket launch together. Fortnite creator Epic Games had announced a one-time event that would happen on June 30, so many players built large structures to watch the event. In Elemental_Ray's game, dozens of players were standing on a structure, which he then destroyed, killing 48 players almost instantly. 

Now, many players aren't sure how to feel. On one hand, it's hilarious that someone with such a low rating in the game all of a sudden holds the all-time solo kill record. On the other hand, the players he killed were working together in a rare moment of peace in a game centered around killing everyone you see.

Regardless, the players who died were still able to see the launch - Elemental_Ray didn't break the platform until after the event had concluded.
