Los Angeles Chargers – Philip Rivers

The quarterback from Los Angeles’ redheaded step-child of a football team is the ultimate trash-talker. This is the Fortnite player that is dancing on the spot where he eliminated you. Fortunately for football fans, they Chargers never eliminate anyone because the Chargers are terrible.

Rivers is as good as anyone but his supporting cast is just not good enough to win in big games. In Fortnite, he would be the stud on your team that is constantly frustrated with anyone who plays next to him because they aren’t on his level.

Still, with him in the squad you are never out of a single match. You’ll likely spend most of your time watching the ends of games as he tries to gunsling a one-on-four win. You won’t win much, but you’ll be excited.

Rivers is a gunslinger on the field. Win or lose, you know he’s going down swinging. If the Chargers are within a score and have the ball with under two minutes left, you might as well flip a coin between “touchdown” or “interception.”

To be fair to Rivers, it’s rare that he has a healthy receiving corps and his tight end, though a surefire Hall-of-Famer, is part of the old guard of tight ends (meaning he’s short, fat and built like a brick sh*thouse).

Landing location: Rivers is the guy that clicks his marker on Tilted Towers 57 times before you decide you are going out to Moisty Mire. He’s the first one out of the area and into the prison and he’s half way into the circle, yelling at you to follow him before you can fill your load out.

Favorite weapon: Whatever he can get his hands on first. All he cares about is racking up eliminations and dancing on imaginary graves. Boom! GET IT!
