In Fortnite: Battle Royale the Predator can now be found and he brought a mythic item that players can use. But now players have discovered a glitch that makes this item incredibly powerful.
This is the situation: After update 15.21 the Predator can now be found as an NPC boss on the Fortnite map. If you manage to take him down, you will be rewarded with the “Predator’s Cloaking Device”.
The mythic item allows players to become invisible for a short time. After 30 seconds, the effect disappears and you have to wait until you can activate it again. However, a glitch now allows players to remain invisible for the entire match.
Players find glitch that gives an advantage
What kind of glitch is this? With this glitch, players are supposed to not only become invisible for a short time, but the effect lasts for the entire match. Additionally, they can continue to build, edit, and shoot – thus having no limitations.
A reddit user posted a clip where he encountered an opponent who was using this glitch. Although he was able to defeat the opponent, he seemed quite surprised when an invisible player suddenly started hopping around and shooting at him:
Is a fix coming now?
Why this exploit is problematic: As can be seen in the clip, there is no guarantee that you will win every fight when using the glitch in Fortnite. However, it can provide advantages and especially put players in unfortunate situations.
In a fight, it often boils down to a few health points, and if someone sneaks up and inflicts a lot of damage before being noticed, the victim probably won’t be able to counter in time.
YouTuber spreads glitch to “inform Epic”
The YouTuber Glitch King, who has 1.85 million subscribers, shows how this glitch works. According to the YouTuber, this is supposed to help Epic, but surely some will try the exploit with his tutorial.
If Epic Games becomes aware of this, it may be that a fix will be introduced soon. What that might look like, we will probably see if it happens.
The Predator can also be found as a boss on the Fortnite map. Now you have the opportunity to roam as the hunter from the jungle. With challenges, you can unlock 12 items and cosmetics for the “secret skin of Season 5”. In our guide, you can see how to unlock the Predator skin.
