That's awesome! It's great to hear that you're already having some fun and success in Fortnite, especially being new to the game. Surviving until the last ten is a solid achievement, and using special items from events like the Mortal Kombat crossover can definitely give you an edge. Those Epic Scorpion's Gloves sound like they really helped you take down some opponents!
Ranking 4th is no small feat, especially for a newcomer. The Outlaw's Whipknives pickaxe skin is a sweet reward too. Keep practicing, and don’t get discouraged by early deaths; it’s all part of the learning process. As you get more comfortable with the game mechanics and the map, you'll find yourself climbing the ranks even more. Have fun playing, and good luck in your future matches!
