In Fortnite there is currently a dangerous zone for all players. Anyone who enters it will be killed immediately. Epic has already announced a fix.
Here lies the death zone: Near Fatal Fields, since the update of Season 8, you will find two large craters that represent a fork and a knife. Anyone who tries to jump into the knife will be killed immediately.
Why players die here is not known. Fortnite has already issued a warning to players via Twitter, calling it a bug.
See the error in the video
This is Epic’s post: On Twitter , Epic acknowledges the issue and states that they are aware of the bug and are already working on a fix.
This is what the error looks like: The Twitter page “Fortnite News” posts a video that fits the bug. The bug is shown again there:
This is why there is the knife and the fork: In Fortnite, there have been several small gags on this topic. Many English-speaking players also refer to Fortnite as “Fork Knife”, which translates to “Gabel Messer”.
Epic has often reacted to this joke and has even added a “Fork Knife” truck into the game.
Now there is also this huge cutlery near Fatal Fields. However, the bug causing instant death shouldn’t be the case.
This is what players say about it: Players do not see the bug as a big deal, but rather celebrate it. For instance, “Srcheeto” wrote in response to Epic’s tweet: “Don’t fix the bug. It’s a knife, it must be dangerous!” Over 1000 users have already agreed with him.
When will this be fixed? The fix for this bug may already be online while you read this. However, it might take Epic a bit longer. It depends on how serious the actual bug is.
This is what you should keep in mind: If you are in your round near Fatal Fields, you should avoid the cutlery. You can go near it, but as soon as you jump into the knife, you will be eliminated. This would indeed be frustrating in a good round.
Fortnite now also has a treasure map. Here’s how it works:
