The secret passages in Fortnite: Battle Royale have been disabled by Epic Games and therefore lose their original function. We will show you what you need to know about the blocked secret passages now.
What are secret passages in Fortnite? These secret passages were introduced at the start of Season 2 Chapter 2. In line with the agent theme of Season 2, these passages served as escape routes or even as a means of transportation.
The secret passages were well disguised, as you could enter them through pixie toilets and garbage containers. Once you entered one of them, you would be shot through a tube and emerge at a different point on the map.
Secret passages no longer usable
What has happened to the secret passages now? As Fortnite Status announced on Twitter, the secret passages have been temporarily disabled. There seem to be issues with the passages, but these have not been detailed so far.
Unfortunately, Fortnite Status has also not communicated when the secret passages will be available again. Once the problem is resolved, they will inform the players, it is said.
How does this affect the game?
What happens now with the hiding spots? Although you can no longer use the secret passages as a means of transportation, they still function as hiding spots. You can still hide from your opponents in garbage containers or haystacks.
The hiding spots are also suitable for avoiding fall damage. So if you fall from a height, you should search your surroundings for hiding opportunities and use them.
Since the secret passages have been blocked, you can no longer use them as a means of transportation. You should keep this in mind when landing in an area at the edge of the map.
If you’re lucky, a shark may be there, which you can use to travel to the next target point. Sharks are the new means of transportation in Season 3. However, it is important that you know how to handle sharks so you can use them properly. Otherwise, you could even be “eaten” by a shark.
