The video starts with the pre-match timer ticking. The 67-year-old fan was gliding down when he suddenly dropped his parachute andreloaded an RPG mid-air. Seeing a helicopter in the distance, he decides to turn and attempt to take an epic mid-air shot at the machine. Pulling out the weapon, he fires, only to have a player intercept the shot and take the entire explosion straight to their face. The word “headshot” appears as the body flails past him falling to the ground.
Although this was not the fan’s intention, the result was much more than he could imagine. It is hard enough tohit an RPG or Strela shotagainst any target but to hit any player mid-air is an even greater challenge. Mid-air firefights are rare and it is even less often that it results in a player’s death.
The Reddit fans in the comments point out that this is a treasured moment for the poster and his father. The fact thatWarzoneis used as a way to connect and share experiences is an amazing use of the game. The poster admits that althoughWarzoneis a frustrating experience, they share in that frustration and believe that simply having fun together can outweigh any of the game’s problems.
