Outlasting 500 opponents in Fortnite is a straightforward concept in the abstract, but the particularities of its implementation often elude players. How can someone outlast 500 enemies when only 99 can appear in a single match, maximum? Here's what you need to know.

How to Outlast 500 Opponents in Fortnite, Explained

Outlasting opponents in Fortnite means surviving longer than those players. For example, when you drop in the middle of nowhere and watch the kill feed fill up with other players' names, you are successfully outlasting all those players.

As only 100 players appear in any individual Fortnite match, it's impossible to complete this challenge in a single match. To outlast 500 players, players will have to play several matches — likely more than six, as outlasting all 99 enemies each game is a dubious prospect.

The number of players you've outlasted will steadily climb as you play and other players die off, but to make sure you outlive as many enemies as possible consider landing in more obscure locations and hiding from conflict.
