Martin “MrSavage” Foss Andersen, a former Fortnite pro turned content creator, has officially made gaming history. The Norwegian player just set a Guinness World Record for the longest in-game elimination—and it wasn’t done in a cozy gaming setup. Instead, he pulled off this insane feat from the icy fjords of Norway, battling freezing temperatures and pitch-black nights.
A Fortnite shot like no other
This wasn’t just any elimination. MrSavage managed to land a 1,161.31-meter kill in Fortnite, using a high-powered 100x zoom telescope to see his screen from over a kilometer away. Yes, you read that right—he wasn’t even sitting in front of his monitor. Instead, he set up his gaming rig (a 32-inch monitor, mouse, and keyboard) and aimed at his tiny, pixel-sized opponent from an entirely different location.
This near-impossible shot, captured in Red Bull’s short film “Fjordnite”, took place in Norway’s breathtaking Lofoten Islands. Surrounded by towering mountains and deep fjords, MrSavage had to deal with extreme cold, darkness, and multiple failed attempts before finally making history.
Pushing gaming to the extreme
While MrSavage has been a well-known name in esports since 2018—competing in high-profile tournaments like the Fortnite World Cup—this record adds a whole new level to his legacy. The challenge was far from easy, with frustrating failures, near-misses, and even an opponent trying to sabotage him. But his determination and skill paid off, proving that gaming records can be as intense as any real-world sport.
Fans have praised his insane accuracy and perseverance, marking this as a legendary moment in Fortnite history. And while he may have stepped away from competitive play, this record shows he’s still pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming.
