The colorful shooter Fortnite is known for crazy weapons, countless collaborations with other brands, and insane actions. However, one of the weapons is too crazy.
Fortnite emerged amidst the hype surrounding the battle royale genre and created a massive hype that even overshadowed PUBG. The battle royale was put together in just a few weeks.
Since then, Thanos from Marvel has been in the game, the world has ended countless times, and you could beat up opponents as Son Goku, even without searching for the magical Dragonballs.
Currently, the “Kinetic Blade” is rampaging through the shooter and is worse than any OP weapon. Players have found a small trick for guaranteed kills. However, those who still use the exploit will be temporarily banned.

Offline exploit terrorizes Fortnite
The developers have already removed the blade from the tournament playlists and are working on a solution (via twitter.com). According to Kotaku, it seems they decided to ban all exploit users for 24 hours (via kotaku.com):
What kind of exploit is this? We will skip a detailed explanation here. However, it involves briefly cutting the internet connection, causing damage, and then going back online.
While offline, Fortnite keeps the connection open, and as soon as you’re back in the game, the enemy takes damage – no matter how far away they are.
So better stay away from the sword if you want to avoid a ban or sudden death. Currently, it is unclear how long the fix will take.
Exploits are always a thing in multiplayer shooters. Some players say that if the developers bring it into the game, it should also be allowed – for example, “Slide Cancel” in Call of Duty. Actually a bug that was considered a feature for years. What do you think about this?
