Fact Check: "Tripi tropa is a Fortnite island you can see the map of and you stupidly fly with an elytra over it"
What We Know
The claim refers to "Tripi tropa," which appears to be a specific island or map within the Fortnite universe. According to a source, the "Tripi tropi tropa tripa" is indeed a downloadable 3D model that can be accessed through a link, suggesting that it is a part of the Fortnite creative community (source-2). Additionally, there are various maps in Fortnite that allow players to fly around, including the use of vehicles like helicopters and potentially elytras, which are known from Minecraft but have been adapted in various ways in Fortnite (source-4, source-5).
Analysis
The claim that "Tripi tropa" is a Fortnite island is supported by the existence of a downloadable 3D model, which indicates that it is part of the Fortnite creative ecosystem. However, the term "fly with an elytra" is somewhat misleading in the context of Fortnite. Elytras are a Minecraft item that allows players to glide through the air, and while Fortnite has similar mechanics, they do not use elytras in the same way. Instead, players can fly using vehicles or specific game mechanics that allow for aerial movement (source-1, source-3).
The sources used to evaluate this claim include both 3D model repositories and gameplay videos, which provide insight into how players interact with the map and the mechanics available in Fortnite. However, the reliability of these sources varies; while the 3D model repository is credible, gameplay videos can be subjective and may not always accurately represent the mechanics of the game.
Conclusion
The claim is Partially True. While "Tripi tropa" is indeed a Fortnite island that players can explore, the assertion that players "fly with an elytra" over it is misleading. Elytras are specific to Minecraft, and while Fortnite has similar flying mechanics, they do not involve elytras in the traditional sense. Therefore, the claim contains elements of truth but also significant inaccuracies regarding the mechanics of flying in Fortnite.
