Epic Games has done a great job with Fortnite Battle Royale updates and bug fixes. However, there are still a few bugs that make the game bad in certain situations, and these bugs can provide a huge advantage to players who use them. Recently, another bug was discovered, and it is being abused by many players.
Despite some recent nerfs, building is still the most important aspect of Battle Royale. Additionally, this aspect of the game is usually what separates top players from average ones. The recently-discovered bug gives a huge advantage to builders, and that is why it’s such a big problem.
The building bug
The latest bug allows Fortnite Battle Royale players to take turtling to a whole new level. The bug lets players build another structure in front of an existing wall. For example, players would need to edit the wall and then build another wall in front of it. However, this bug makes building possible without any edits.
In short, the bug allows players to build more structures without exposing themselves to enemies. Using this technique guarantees a constant protection. The glitch makes Fortnite players impossible to shoot at since every shot would be blocked by a structure.
Popular Fortnite Battle Royale streamer Tfue showed the bug in the video above. Considering that players have recently found out about this technique, we can assume that it came with the 5.41 patch. It is currently unknown whether or not Epic Games will release a hotfix for this problem.
Season 6 starts on September 27, and this is when the Fortnite Battle Royale developer will release a huge update. In the meantime, it is unknown whether players who use exploit this bug will get suspended or not. Epic Games will have to fix it soon, however, since many Fall Skirmish players may decide to use it in the tournament.
