Getting eliminations in Fortnite can be challenging, especially if you’re up against skilled players in Ranked or are a new player learning the game’s controls. However, even if you’re familiar with the game, getting a double elimination is difficult, regardless of your weapons or game mode.
How to earn a Double Elimination in Fortnite: Pirate Code Four guide
Getting a double elimination in Fortnite requires getting two kills within a few seconds of each other. Although the exact time between is unknown, you’ll want to try to go for less than three seconds between your two eliminations, or else you’ll risk not getting your double elimination.
One way to make this easier is to play Fortnite as a duo or squad. Typically, duos or squad members stick together, making grouping enemies and getting multiple eliminations easier. You’ll also have other team members who can help weaken the other players before you get the final hits.

The only downside is that your teammates may take the kills instead, so you’ll want to focus on getting two eliminations yourself without your squad taking them. Ideally, you’ll coordinate this ahead of time for anyone looking to finish the quest. Otherwise, it might take a few attempts, especially if you get eliminated early on or have trouble getting two kills quickly.
Another strategy is to make sure you use weapons you feel comfortable with. For example, if you’re great with snipers, use these to get two quick headshots for your double elimination. Similarly, a few quick shotgun hits can do the trick if you like to dive in and get quick kills. Sometimes, you can even ram into people with a car and hope you get an instant double kill.

One last thing to remember is whether to play Fortnite’s regular Battle Royale mode or Zero Build. Sometimes, a player saving themselves with building can prevent you from getting your second elimination quickly. However, you can also hope a squad groups up in a tower, which gives you an opportunity for a double elimination. This is also up to personal preference, but keeping it in mind can help you decide whether to swap to a different mode or stick to what you’re familiar with.
