The Twitch streamer Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter surprised everyone at a Fortnite tournament with an action she called “unintentional hacking.”
Where did it happen? During the Twitch Rivals tournament, which also featured popular streamers like Courage, the American was also involved.
In one of the many rounds, a glitch occurred that allowed Valkyrae to secure the victory. She felt a bit ashamed about it, as she was clearly at an advantage.

What happened? At the end of a round, when the circle was very small, only 3 players remained. When Valkyrae was outside the storm, surprisingly, she didn’t lose any health. She was able to move around normally:
While the other players struggled to stay within the circle and had quite a lot of trouble, the streamer could easily eliminate the two opponents and secure the victory.
How did she react to it? The streamer was visibly embarrassed. She said: “I am a terrible person, oh my god.”
Still, she took it with humor and laughed about it. Winning a round has probably never been this easy. After the tournament, she tweeted: “The Fortnite Twitch Rivals tournament was interesting. I won a round through unintentional hacking.”
Is this a known bug? It seems that this glitch is not very common. Other players have not reported it so far.
It could be related to the fact that the tournament was held on a special server, where no normal rounds of Fortnite were played.
Fortnite itself has recently faced a lot of ridicule on Twitch:
