{{AFC comment|1=It still fails to address why it was deleted, and I'd argue the problem cannot be remedied without more analysis which it simply does not have. The article mentions lots of stuff that is tangentially related to Durr Burger but does not increase the notability of the fictional chain itself. See also WP:AKON. It would probably be better to focus your efforts on something else. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:08, 13 May 2025 (UTC)}}

Durrr Burger is a character and namesake of a fictional fast food chain in the 2017 video game Fortnite, developed and published by Epic Games. It has featured in a number of in-game season challenges, an in-game food rivalry and game mode, and an alternate reality game (ARG) since its inception. The entertainment publisher Dot Esports regarded it as "one of the most recognizable logos in Fortnite: Battle Royale", while the American news channel CNBC similarly described the character as an "iconic" "mascot" in July 2018. Skins of the character have also been ranked as some of the best in the game's history by Prima Games and Dot Esports.
Introduced in Chapter 1 of the game, it features a cheeseburger with protruding eyes and a long drooping tongue, held together by a toothpick-skewered olive. A humanoid version of the character, named Beef Boss, is both an in-game skin and the canonical boss of the Durrr Burger fast food chain present around the game's map. Between different seasons of the game, a rivalry with the competitor fast food chain Uncle Pete's Pizza Pit and its mascot Tomatohead is explored, largely culminating with the release of a limited-time tower defense game mode named "Food Fight", where players were tasked to defend either of the mascots from attacking players of the other team. The character-centric game mode was described by The Verge as "emphasiz[ing] all of the best parts of Fortnite" and shaping "the direction of the game as a whole".
The character has been featured in various promotions since its inception: including official onesies, graphic T-shirts, in Lego sets, and other items, and was made into a massive real-life model for an ARG run by Epic Games to promote the launch of Season 1, Chapter 5, in July 2018.
Design and lore
Durrr Burger is the name of the character and mascot of the in-game hamburger fast food chain of restaurants in the 2017 video game Fortnite.{{cite web |last1=Garst |first1=Aron |title=A disturbingly cute squad of dumpling skins is coming to Fortnite this season |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/a-disturbingly-cute-squad-of-dumpling-skins-is-coming-to-fortnite-this-season/ |work=GamesRadar+ |date=May 24, 2019 |access-date=March 9, 2025}} The character is designed after a cheeseburger, with the addition of bulging eyes, a long protruding tongue, and a toothpick with a skewered olive coming from its head.{{cite web |last1=Santangelo |first1=Nick |title=Fortnite Durr Burger Turns up in Real-World Desert |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/07/08/fortnite-durr-burger-turns-up-in-real-world-desert |work=IGN |date=July 8, 2018 |access-date=March 9, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Bankhurst |first1=Adam |title=LEGO Fortnite Sets Revealed, Include Battle Bus, Supply Llama, Peely Bone, and Durrr Burger |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/lego-fortnite-sets-revealed-include-battle-bus-supply-llama-peely-bone-and-durrr-burger |work=IGN |date=September 21, 2024 |access-date=March 12, 2025}}
The anthropomorphic or humanoid version of the character is named Beef Boss, who canonically is the "boss" of the in-game fast food chain.{{cite web |last1=Ashaari |first1=Alleef |title=Fortnite Grill Sergeant: When Is the Grill Sergeant Skin Coming Back? |url=https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/429383-fortnite-grill-sergeant-when-is-the-grill-sergeant-skin-coming-back |work=GameRevolution |date=September 10, 2018 |access-date=March 11, 2025}} The Beef Boss skin consists of Durrr Burger as its head, a mixed blue and orange body, and orange pants with the word "Durrr" written across them.{{cite web |last1=Saunders |first1=Toby |title=Fortnite Beef Boss Skin: How Do You Get the Durr Burger Outfit in Fortnite? |url=https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/415235-fortnite-beef-boss-skin-how-do-you-get-the-durr-burger-outfit-in-fortnite |work=GameRevolution |date=August 7, 2018 |access-date=March 11, 2025}} Beef Boss was added to the game in August 2018,{{cite web |last1=Binkowski |first1=Justin |title=Another new Durrr Burger skin could be coming soon to Fortnite: Battle Royale |url=https://dotesports.com/fortnite/news/fortnite-new-durrr-burger-skin-leaked-32041 |work=Dot Esports |date=August 10, 2018 |access-date=March 11, 2025}} with the next month adding an additional character named "Grill Sergeant" as an employee for Durrr Burger.
In-universe, Durrr Burger is rivals with Uncle Pete's Pizza Pit and its mascot Tomatohead.{{cite web |last1=Kent |first1=Emma |title=Fortnite's restaurant beef erupts into all-out war with Food Fight limited time mode |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/fortnites-restaurant-beef-erupts-into-all-out-war-with-the-food-fight-limited-time-mode |work=Eurogamer |date=November 14, 2018 |access-date=March 12, 2025}} After Pizza Pit was forced to close due to spacetime rifts affecting structures on the map at the time,{{cite web |last1=Viana |first1=Bhernardo |title=Durrr Burger and Tomatohead war in Fortnite might be settled soon |url=https://dotesports.com/fortnite/news/durrr-burger-and-tomatohead-war-on-fortnite-might-be-settled-soon |work=Dot Esports |date=November 13, 2018 |access-date=March 12, 2025}} Durrr Burger locations around the map began to do the same due to a newfound cockroach infestation. It was soon discovered by players that the cockroaches had been planted by Pizza Pit to take down their competitor. As a result, both restaurants were forced to operate from simple food trucks, which were parked across from each other in a soccer field between Tilted Towers, Greasy Grove, and Snobby Shores. With the Pizza Pit food truck displaying anti-Durrr Burger icons, the "Food Fight" game mode was launched soon after. The plotline is conveyed without any written-out message or dialogue, something described by the British video game journalism website EuroGamer as "impressive environmental storytelling".
In-game appearances
Durrr Burger has made a number of appearances in-game since its inception in the first chapter. Modern day, the character is largely seen as an "original" one, somewhat falling out of favor as the game values collaborations with existing intellectual properties more. The character is often cameoed alongside some of the other popular characters from the game: including Peely, Meowscles, and Agent Jones, and has been featured as part of an in-game challenge in the majority of chapters.

In Chapter 1, Season 5, after previously existing in-game, the character first became a playable skin with the addition of Beef Boss, who was available for purchase in the item shop. Beef Boss, the main character of the "Durrr Burger Set", also included the "Grill Sergeant" skin, "Deep Fried" back bling, "Flying Saucer" glider, and the "Patty Whacker" pickaxe. The release, however, also included a number of visual and other bugs, which temporarily caused players' games to crash if Beef Boss wore a back bling until patches were made, additionally causing the Grill Sergeant skin to be removed from the item shop hours after it was released.{{cite web |last1=Reed |first1=Chris |title=Fortnite Gets A Back Bling Hotfix, Here's Why |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-gets-a-back-bling-hotfix-heres-why/1100-6461081/ |work=GameSpot |date=August 10, 2018 |access-date=March 11, 2025}} In Chapter 1, Season 6, a limited-time tower defense game mode named "Food Fight" was released as a way for players to decide the better in-game fast food chain: Durrr Burger or Pizza Pit.{{cite web |last1=Ashworth |first1=Mack |title=Fortnite 6.30 Update Patch Notes (Fortnite 1.92 Patch Notes PS4) |url=https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/456911-fortnite-1-92-update-patch-notes-6-30-ps4 |work=GameRevolution |date=November 14, 2018 |access-date=March 11, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Viana |first1=Bhernardo |title=Fortnite's Food Fight makes the battle between Durrr Burger and Pizza Pit a real war |url=https://dotesports.com/fortnite/news/fortnites-food-fight-makes-the-battle-between-durrr-burger-and-pizza-pit-a-real-war |work=Dot Esports |date=November 14, 2018 |access-date=March 12, 2025}} The game mode split the lobby into two teams: one supporting Durrr Burger and one supporting Tomatohead, separated by an impassable barrier at the beginning of the match. On each side, a large model of their mascot was placed, which players had to protect. In the first phase of the game, players on each team were given time to build structures to protect their mascot. In the second phase, the impassable barrier was removed, and players had to destroy the opposing team's mascot before their own was destroyed, with the first team to destroy the opposing team's mascot winning. The game mode challenged players to balance offensive and defense in a game which previously only incentivized protecting oneself against attacks.
In Chapter 1, Season 7, a small outdoor location of the character's restaurant chain was located in Retail Row.{{cite web |last1=Koczwara |first1=Michael |last2=Cotten |first2=Shailyn |last3=Smith |first3=Andrew |title=Fortnite Season 7 Map Changes and Image Comparisons |url=https://www.ign.com/wikis/fortnite/Fortnite_Season_7_Map_Changes_and_Image_Comparisons |work=IGN |date=March 13, 2019 |access-date=March 10, 2025}} In Chapter 1, Season 8, a large Durrr Burger-themed telephone was located on a set of snowy mountains near Fatal Fields, which, when the correct numbers were entered, played a dial tone congratulating the player.{{cite web |last1=Koczwara |first1=Michael |last2=Cotten |first2=Shailyn |last3=Smith |first3=Andrew |title=Fortnite Week 8 Challenges - Telephone and Puzzle Locations, Treasure Map Signpost - Season 8 |url=https://www.ign.com/wikis/fortnite/Fortnite_Week_8_Challenges_-_Telephone_and_Puzzle_Locations,_Treasure_Map_Signpost_-_Season_8 |work=IGN |date=June 3, 2019 |access-date=March 10, 2025}} In Chapter 1, Season 9, dancing inside a holographic head of the character located at Neo Tilted, alongside similar mini-quests, allowed the player to earn five "Battle Stars", which could be used to purchase in-game cosmetic items.{{cite web |last1=Gonzalez |first1=Oscar |title=Fortnite season 9, week 4 challenges and where to dance in holographic Tomato head |url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/fortnite-season-9-week-4-challenges-and-dance-in-a-holographic-tomato-head-durrr-burger-head/ |work=CNET |date=June 5, 2019 |access-date=March 9, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Goslin |first1=Austen |title=Dance inside a holographic tomato head, Durrr Burger head, and on top of a giant onion – Fortnite challenge locations |url=https://www.polygon.com/fortnite-battle-royale-guide/2019/5/30/18645853/dance-holographic-tomato-head-durrr-burger-onion-map-locations |work=Polygon |date=May 30, 2019 |access-date=11 March 2025}} Furthermore, a currency only awarded during this season for completing tasks, "Fortbytes", was also awarded if the player used a Tomatohead emote inside one of the character's restaurants, or a Durrr Burger emote inside one of Tomatohead's restaurants.{{cite web |last1=Shepherd |first1=Harry |title=Fortnite Fortbyte 41 location: use Tomatohead emote in Durr Burger restaurant |url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/fortbyte-41-tomatohead-durr-burger-location |work=PCGamesN |date=July 11, 2019 |access-date=March 11, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Shepard |first1=Harry |title=Fortnite Fortbyte 59: use Durrr! emoji inside Pizza Pit restaurant |url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/fortbyte-59-pizza-pit-durr-emoji-location |work=PCGamesN |date=June 18, 2019 |access-date=March 13, 2025}} In Chapter 1, Season 10, a large statue of the character could be found east of Pleasant Park.

In July 2018, a massive model of the character was placed in a desert near the town of Palmdale, California, as part of an alternate reality game (ARG) which promoted the release of Fortnite Chapter 1, Season 5. During the ARG, players were given real-life scavenger hunts to learn details about the upcoming season.{{cite web |last1=Geeter |first1=Darren |title='Fortnite' Season 5 is being played in real life |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/12/fortnite-epic-games-microsoft-halo-arg-gaming-fans.html |work=CNBC |date=July 13, 2018 |access-date=March 9, 2025}}{{cite web |last1=Davenport |first1=James |title=Fortnite's missing Durr Burger mascot found in the middle of the desert |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnites-missing-durr-burger-sign-found-in-actual-desert/ |work=PC Gamer |date=July 6, 2018 |access-date=March 9, 2025}} Leading up to the event, the character had been among the many to disappear in-game from the map after a rocket launch cracked a hole in the sky, creating rifts which removed characters before the release of the next season. Beside the real-life model in the desert, a fake police car displayed the message: "This site is unstable. Beware of possible effects," referencing the in-game event. The person who discovered the model, a photographer named Sela Shiloni, claimed she was not a gamer and had stumbled across it by accident, though some online cast doubt on whether this was entirely true. A year later in 2019, the character's massive model from the ARG was cited by IGN India as a reason for Fortnite{{'s}} lasting popularity.{{cite web |last1=Alder |first1=Matthew |title=Fortnite vs. Apex Legends: Which Battle Royale is Right For You? |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/03/06/fortnite-vs-apex-legends-which-battle-royale-is-right-for-you |work=IGN India |date=March 6, 2019 |access-date=April 30, 2025}} To promote the return of the Fortnite OG season at the end of 2023, a popular streamer of the game Ninja was sent another massive model of the character as a reference to the past event.{{cite web |last1=Owen |first1=Phil |title=Fortnite OG, Chapter 1 Map, And Everything We Know About The Next Update |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-og-original-map-and-everything-we-know-about-the-next-up/1100-6518743/ |work=GameSpot |date=November 2, 2023 |access-date=March 12, 2025}}
During the Food Fight game mode, a representative of the American burger chain Wendy's began to stream themselves on Twitch playing the game mode repeatedly on the side of Pizza Pit, stating "We never joined #TeamBurger because Durrr Burger is full of freezers and we don't clown around with the frozen beef" on Twitter.{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Ali |title=Wendy's streams Fortnite just to destroy Durrr Burger over and over again |url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/fortnite/fortnite-wendys |work=PCGamesN |date=November 30, 2018 |access-date=March 12, 2025}} Conversely, support for the character during this time inspired the creation of a subreddit named "ShineOfDurr", and the hashtag #TeamBurger on Twitter.{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Samuel |title=Fortnite gets a mounted turret and Food Fight limited time mode in v6.30 patch |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-gets-a-mounted-turret-and-food-fight-limited-time-mode-in-v630-patch/ |work=PC Gamer |date=November 14, 2018 |access-date=April 6, 2025}} A declaration of war by the ShineOfDurr subreddit against their counterparts was, among other actions, what inspired EuroGamer to report the rivalry was being taken "very seriously" by people. The game mode as a whole was highly regarded by the American gaming website GameRevolution, which reported "Epic Games is the true winner here!" as, by releasing playable skins of both mascots just before the release of the game mode, players were encouraged to purchase the relevant skin to support their team. Furthermore, American technology website The Verge described the game mode, featuring the character in a co-dominant role, as Fortnite{{'s}} "best mode yet", which both "emphasizes all of the best parts of Fortnite" and "the direction of the game as a whole".{{cite web |last1=Webster |first1=Andrew |title=Fortnite's frantic food fight is its best mode yet |url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18096582/fortnite-food-fight-mode-ltm |work=The Verge |date=November 15, 2018 |access-date=April 6, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181115173805/https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18096582/fortnite-food-fight-mode-ltm |archive-date=November 15, 2018 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription}}
