In Fortnite: Battle Royale there has been a super annoying glitch when building for ages. That should soon be a thing of the past and fans are delighted.
What bug is it about? Anyone who has ever tried to build on an uneven surface or in the water in Fortnite knows it. The desired structure mostly disappears into the ground or water.
Only a small part sticks out above, and basically, you have wasted valuable resources and time. Because for an effective wall, you have to build another piece over it, and you may have no resources left elsewhere or get shot the second you wanted to build the second wall.
The bug has been present since the game launched in 2017 and annoys everyone every day.
Bug fix in sight
This is how the bug is supposed to be fixed soon: Recently, design lead Eric Williamson from Epic commented on the topic on Reddit. He promised that a solution is currently being developed. According to him, a second wall will soon be automatically constructed when the first is affected by the glitch and has been built at least 70 percent underground.
The additional wall will be free and will be built immediately alongside the first. However, the whole procedure apparently only works for walls, not for ramps or other structures.
When will the bug fix go live on the servers? Williamson did not promise a specific release date for the change. But it is likely that the fix will go online with the upcoming update 7.20 on January 15, 2019.
How are the players reacting? Since the bug has plagued players since the beginning of Fortnite’s time, they are very happy about the upcoming fix. As one Reddit user writes, “This is the kind of change we want to see!”, referring to the numerous changes in the game that many players did not appreciate.
Others compare the announcement of the bug fix to the separation of Destiny developer Bungie from Activision: “Now anything is possible!”.
