In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is a simple trick to double the loot from the changed vending machines. Pro Tfue shows how to do it.
What has changed with the vending machines? Until now, the vending machines were fixed objects that could be “fed” with excess materials. Depending on the material, they would then spit out more or less useful items and weapons.
Since the last update of Fortnite this has changed: Now the loot from the machines costs nothing. But the machines also disappear after being used once. They are consumption items like chests, only that you can already see what comes out.
Pro gamer Tfue immediately finds out how to trick the machines
This is Tfue’s free loot trick: The new method of the machines means that only one player can benefit at a time. This is unfortunate when you’re playing in a team, as it makes it difficult to equip everyone well.
But the pro gamer Tfue has already found a useful trick to equip his team anyway. He and his buddy Chap were playing in duo mode and found a lonely vending machine.
Normally, the machine would only spit out one item, but if both players use the machine at the same time, the confused machine spits out two items instead of one before it dissolves. According to Tfue, it’s not that difficult; the timing is not very tight.
In Tfue’s case, both get the desired shield potion, as can be seen in the embedded video here. So, for duos, the trick should soon become mandatory. Whether it works with 3 or even 4 players is not evident from Tfue’s video.
Is this allowed? It is rather unlikely that Epic built this trick as a feature into the game. It is probably a glitch and exploit. Therefore, the double loot trick might soon disappear again. So don’t get too used to it.
How do you generally feel about the new rules for vending machines?
