Fortnite’s OP Infinity Blade wreaks havoc in a $1 million tournament

Epic brought the Infinity Blade to Fortnite today. It works a lot like the Infinity Gauntlet that came to the game along with the Avengers crossover, granting the player who picks it up incredible powers and challenging others to work together and take that lone powerhouse down. But the Gauntlet was part of an LTM - the Infinity Blade is part of the standard battle royale rulest, and it went live just ahead of the finals of a $1 million USD tournament. A single sword spawns at the start of a match. It regenerates your health and shields, gives you double movement speed, and gives you a 75 damage attack that destroys structures instantly. On top of that, the alternate fire lets you perform a massive leap with a big batch of AoE damage. The sword went live just this morning, giving players in today’s NA Winter Royale finals minimal time to prepare for its inclusion. Pros quickly picked up on the Infinity Blade’s overpowered nature, and early game skirmishes turned into brawls for the weapon. Psalm picked it up and offered the world an especially ridiculous display - in the the Twitter video below, you can see him pick up seven kills in under a minute.
