Some players have found a glitch in Fortnite that allows them to survive in the storm indefinitely. Unfair players exploit this to secure easy victories in Fortnite, as seen in a reddit clip.
This is the situation: There seems to be another nasty glitch in Fortnite that gives players an unfair advantage. Unlike players who are now using the new chickens as a trick for incredibly fast rotations, this glitch involves a mechanic that doesn’t normally exist in the game.
Players have now found a way to ‘copy’ items, thus giving them an endless supply. This advantage is quite unfair if used correctly. A similar situation occurred in Fortnite when players could suddenly spawn thousands of healing items:
Glitch allows players to survive in the storm indefinitely
What kind of glitch is this? The YouTuber “OrgangeGuy” shared a video on his channel showing how to use a glitch to copy an infinite number of healing items (via YouTube). The video has now garnered over 48,000 views and appears to be making rounds.
Players are now also showing on reddit how this can affect a normal match. One player lingered in the storm and copied floppers that he could then eat to regenerate health points. Normally, the storm would have drained all his health points and he would have been eliminated in his desperate situation – but the glitch allowed him to prevent this and even win the match.
Glitch needs a fix
This is why this exploit is a serious problem: In Fortnite Battle Royale, everything revolves around the epic victory. The goal is to be the last team standing on the battlefield.
However, if players are now using this glitch, the opposing teams have no chance of winning. This is quite unfair considering that achieving a victory is not easy. While the glitch requires a bit of practice, it can lead to unfair wins if an experienced player is behind it.
Is a fix for the bug coming now? It is possible that Epic will respond to this glitch and introduce a fix with the next update or even rollout a hotfix. However, there has been no feedback from Epic so far, and the exploit has not yet been listed on the Fortnite Trello.
Since the glitch provides unfair advantages, we recommend that you do not use it, as it violates the rules and could lead to an account ban.
Recently, Epic made some changes to the game primarily affecting weapon balance. A few weapons received a buff and now players should fear the new bows.
