In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) there was recently an extremely nasty exploit called “Ghost Peeking.” That is now gone, but the developers have turned the skin “Oberkuschelbeauftragte” into a “Problembären.” Anyone wearing this skin now has a significant disadvantage.
What was Ghost Peeking? Ghost Peeking was a huge problem in Fortnite: Battle Royale until recently. With this exploit, you could peek and shoot from cover without your opponent being able to see you. You could safely snipe, and your opponent had no chance of shooting you back.
The developers quickly worked on a solution and succeeded. Ghost Peeking was history, making the players happy.
But unfortunately not for long …
Patch for exploit opens another issue
What was done? Through the patch for Ghost Peeking, the camera settings were changed. This prevents you from shooting at places you shouldn’t actually be able to see. So exactly the problem that was behind Ghost Peeking.
Hey, I can’t see anything! The downside of the solution is that with certain skins, you now have real problems when aiming down sights. The head of your character now covers a large part of the screen along with the crosshair!
From cuddle bear to problem bear
It’s worst with the cuddle bear: The skin where the problem is most noticeable is the outfit “Oberkuschelbeauftragte.”
This is a silly pink cuddly teddy bear that was first introduced for Valentine’s Day. The outfit is one of the favorites of many players and is now one of the mascots of Fortnite: Battle Royale along with llamas and flying buses.
Developers are working on a solution: Since the bear is so popular and the problem can also occur with other skins, the developers at Epic are already working to find a solution. Let’s just hope that Ghost Peeking doesn’t come back because the choice between cuddle bear and exploit would be truly dreadful!
