Glitches are often double-edged swords – while at times, a glitch can open up unforeseen
possibilities, often, they cause more damage than good, and can potentially ruin your entire
game.
What's the fun in breaking the game if it means you can't play it – realistically
for like a singular round.
But still!
Fortnite is no exception – the game has a history of glitches, some useful, some absolutely
irritating, and occasionally unavoidable.
So today, we're counting down the biggest most annoying glitches that players have encountered
in the game with our list of the top 10 Fortnite glitches that ruined the game.
Also worth noting that some of these may have been fixed since the time of this recording,
so if that's the case, well, hey, consider yourselves lucky that you won't be one of
the unfortunate players who runs into it during a match.
10 Waterfall Glitch One of the most well-known Fortnite glitches
is the Waterfall Glitch – a waterfall that exists at the top of the map that makes for
a great hiding spot.
It exists north of Anarchy Arcs and Risky Reels (technically in between them both, where
the rive that separates them lets out).
Being careful to not fall entirely off the map and into the water below, drop down to
the base of the waterfall and crouch, walking into the water itself.
The water goes deep enough to cover you entirely when you're crouching.
You can ever go behind the waterfall and stand up fully.
But be warned – if you don't have any resources, you won't be able to climb back
up, and you'll be screwed.
Some players even reported not being able to get back up from the water at all after
they entered it.
If you don't want to deal with the risk, you can always pull off an alternative trick
to this - other players who have used the other waterfalls in the game – like the
one at Loot Lake – to duck under and hide, becoming partially visible, which can be useful
from time to time.
9 Under the Map Glitch Another popular glitch that many a player
uses in Fortnite is hiding under the map.
This allows you to hind beneath the ground and take out other players without their knowledge
of you being there.
While some players use this glitch to troll others, sometimes you'll have the unfortunate
experience of someone using it to knock out all of the nearby competition.
It's not infallible though – often you'll be able to catch parts of these hidden players
sticking out from under the grass, and if you're quick enough, you can retaliate and
take them out.
If you're looking to try the glitch for yourself, there are a few specific areas that
work best when trying to get under the map – either by destroying the walls in the
basements of buildings or by crouching and walking through ledges on the map – regardless
of this, if you're on the receiving end of this glitch, it can be a really unfair
way to be eliminated.
8 Wall Glitch As pointed out by YouTuber Troll Ninja XeE,
there's a really simple way that you can 'become invisible' and take out a bunch
of foes.
In the clip, he heads over to Dusty Divot, hops inside one of the buildings, jumps up
onto a desk, crouches and shuffles himself inside the wall.
While you may not be entirely invisible, it's a great way to hide and take out opponents
who are hunting you down, or other players who aren't paying super close attention
to their surroundings.
It's not something you can pull off with all buildings in the game, but worth giving
a shot if you manage to find a similar looking edge elsewhere.
7 Unlimited C4s When you first hear about the unlimited C4
glitch, you probably can't help but think "well, wouldn't that be awesome?
How does that ruin the game when it makes it that much easier?"
Well, think about how much that would suck if you're on the receiving end of those
C4s.
Yeah, not fun.
While it seems to have been patched now, when players were able to use it, they would have
to throw a C4 and hold down onto their throwing button (left mouse button on PC, R2 or RT
on console) and pick up another weapon nearby.
This would allow them to continue chucking C4s while still holding the new weapon, which
in turn could allow you to set up a massive explosion.
It appears that this was done while still having at least two C4s left in your inventory,
but also while having a full inventory.
If any of you guys have managed to figure this one out, give us a shout in those comments
below and tell us how you did it.
6 Hiding Spots There's no shortage of areas in the game
that players can use as hiding spots.
Every time there's an update, it's as if players find a new piece of the map where
they can sneakily slip into and become invisible, making it really easy to pick off your foes
without them being able to detect you without a bit of searching – and hey, by that point,
you'll likely have eliminated them.
While this tends to be reoccurring, there are a few spots in particular that have become
well-known – specifically ones under certain bridges that you can't climb back out of
– but for this number, we're taking a look at the crane in Junk Junction.
Back when the area first debuted, the large crane that you can find within it had a pretty
big glitch where players could slip inside of it and become invisible.
It did mess around with your own visibility a bit, but since you could enter and exit
it without fear of becoming stuck, it was a sneaky trick that many used to eliminate
other nearby players.
5 Glider Gone Wrong In a video by YouTuber JackoWacko343, we have
this unfortunate glitch concerning a glider.
In the clip, we see JackoWacko land on top of a roof in Retail Row, only to land and
immediately be teleported elsewhere – a little bit North of their initial landing
location, with their glider easing them onto the ground.
Which really sucks!
They're now in a fairly open field, without any cover, and no hint of loot anywhere in
sight.
For many players, where you land is a big part of starting off a match successfully
– it's the very first strategic choice many make right off the bat.
4 Disappearing Act Every time the game updates, there is always
a good chance of new items – or even old ones – glitching, especially when you play
around in the pre-game lobby.
This was the case with the LaunchPad – if you tested it out in the pre-game lobby, often
you'd start the game without a pickaxe – a pretty major disadvantage when it comes to
collecting resources and even navigating for loot.
The glitch would still show your avatar holding a their hands as if they were holding a pickaxe,
but the function of the axe was gone entirely.
Some players also reported that this prevented them from being able to build.
On a similar note-
3 Cozy Campfire Glitch Back when the Cozy Campfire was introduced,
players were quick to realize that it had a pretty major bug.
If you used the Cozy Campfire during the pre-game lobby, the game would glitch and give you
100 health and a full shield at the start of the game.
But, it was entirely aesthetic – your stats would appear this way to you, but the game
itself was unable to register that this was the case in reality – your stats would be
the exact same as they would be in a regular scenario at the start of a match.
It gets worse, though – players found that if they tried to drink a shield potion, it
wouldn't work, putting them at a serious disadvantage.
Luckily, it's been fixed since.
2 Frozen Gun From a video posted by Reddit user CleanestAlloy,
here we have a glitch of immense inconvenience.
Say you're in the middle of a heated standoff, and you need to bust out a sniper rifle to
get the job done.
You switch your weapon, but instead of being ready to fire some bullets into your foes,
this happens.
Your gun freezes mid-air, detaching itself from you completely.
According to CleanestAlloy, the only way to reverse the glitch after it happens is to
switch back from a weapon to the dropped weapon.
Despite that, this glitch can seriously ruin your match, especially when in close quarters
with other players.
1 Boogie Bomb Glitch Every so often, you hear about a glitch that
gives players a ton of stuff for free.
It's not super common, but tends to be big news for a day or two before the glitch is
patched up.
As of this recording, the latest glitch to fall under that category is the Boogie Bomb
glitch – it was a bug that caused players to have unlimited items, and forced Epic Games
to remove the Boogie Bomb from the game entirely.
It would come into effect when players used the Boogie Bomb on themselves, giving them
the ability to pick up an infinite amount of weapons and items without their inventory
ever getting full.
Talk about an easy way to score a major advantage.
Luckily as of this recording, Epic Games has stated that the boogie bomb won't be gone
forever – just until the bug is fixed.
So hey, if you're watching this in the future and lobbing boogie bombs right left and center,
we're really glad that got all sorted out.
There we have it!
