The latest glitch in the game is teleporting chest loot to a different location, and it’s getting pretty annoying for players.

Player feedback is one of the many things Epic takes very seriously that it aims to fix in every major weekly update or minor hotfixes from time to time. Often there are times when these bugs can get pretty annoying as they affect the overall gameplay experience for the player.

Fortnite players have seen bugs ranging from being stuck under the map or taking fall damage after jumping off a launch pad. From pros to content creators, each one of them took to social media to call on the developers to “fix the game”.

However, a recent update, v21.30, left a bug that has tested the patience of every Fortnite player active this season – potentially the most annoying Fortnite bug of all time. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

Fortnite bug teleports chests loots to other locations

A strange Fortnite bug that is going viral right now on social media is the Loot Chests bug. It all began when Epic added the update v21.30 and introduced players to this year’s summer event, No Sweat Summer.

The update also saw the addition of Prime Shotgun which is considered to be the best shotgun in Chapter 3. While all the additions are fascinating and exciting to the players, the bug the update left in the game is still haunting players who are failing to win a game like they used to.

The bug, as shown in the clip above, teleports the chest loot to a nearby location outside if a player opens a chest box inside a building. This is pretty annoying as it doesn’t let the player farm loot fast as they usually would while landing on a hot drop.

Players have already started uploading their clips of the loot chest bug and are calling out the game to come out and fix this issue. This bug also creates double the work for those players who like to play a fast-paced Battle Royale match.

Joining in the conversation are a few FNCS players who feel that this bug might cost them several games where they would end up losing on a major competitive level. The entire community has joined hands together to ask the developers to fix the game at the earliest.

While Fortnite has not addressed this issue on their social media handles or on the Trello board could also mean that players in higher ping regions might be the only ones experiencing the bug. However, the player base is still keeping their hopes high to get these issues fixed as soon as possible.


As bugs and glitches continue to add to several issues Fortnite is filled with, events like No Sweat Summer keep the community excited for more in-game content and freebies that they can get. The challenges for No Sweat Summer are live in-game now and players can redeem their share of rewards upon completing them.

Rare Fortnite clip shows Darth Vader boss killing a Loot Llama https://www.fortniteintel.com/rare-fortnite-clip-shows-darth-vader-boss-killing-a-loot-llama/41485/ Tue, 05 Jul 2022 16:18:15 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=41485 Fortnite is known for creating rare moments every once in a while where the player community is usually left in disbelief. One of those rare moments was witnessed recently by a player where the Darth Vader NPC chased down a Loot Llama and started slaying it with a lightsaber.

There are several moments in Fortnite that have been popular over the years amongst the player community. From Ninja’s Rocket Rides to Muselk’s The Rescue of Chappadoodle, the game has given the world some of the most unique clips ever seen in gaming.

Most of these clips are rare and are witnessed at least once every season where either a bug in the game causes it or just the foolishness of a player that takes place. Recently, a bug in-game forced the Sith Lord roaming the island, Darth Vader, to go against a Loot Llama.

Here’s what really went down in the now-viral clip and how the community reacted to this rare moment.

Darth Vader vs Loot Llama: A battle Fortnite never saw coming

Loot Llamas in-game have been pretty annoying ever since Fortnite decided to bring them to life in Chapter 2 Season 7. When a player goes after a Llama, the amount of ammo that’s wasted in shooting it down is not worth it.

Moreover, the location of the player is easily revealed to their opponents as the player chases down the Llama. This is the reason why mainly a lot of players do not even bother to chase down a Loot Llama on the map anymore.

As players refused to entertain the Llama in the game anymore, the newly added NPC in the game, Darth Vader decided to take the matter into his own hands. In a clip posted on Reddit by u/iluvwilliam, Darth Vader chases down a Llama and continues to slash it down with Lightsaber throws and strikes.

Even after multiple strikes, the Llama refuses to be killed and instead rifts away, taking Vader along with him. Well, this surely shows that even Vader cannot bring the mighty animal down after all the might of his Mythic Lightsaber.

One of the players commented on a famous line from the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, giving it their own hilarious twist as Vader goes after the Loot quoting:

“Loot. I am your Father.”

Another player expressed their concerns with the current Loot Llama and how Fortnite can actually take steps to fix them. From lowering their health to increasing the countdown before it rifts away, these suggestions actually would fix the issue players have with the creature.

Whatever the scenario might be, the player community still can’t express enough grief about the current situation with Llamas as they are shifting to Reality Saplings to get good loot. Moreover, the Llamas were only good for farming a huge number of materials which is not needed anymore as the majority of the player-base shifts to Zero Build mode.

Fortnite bugs enable friendly fire, rebooting in Solos, and other bizarre features https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-bugs-enable-friendly-fire-rebooting-in-solos-and-other-bizarre-features/41453/ Fri, 01 Jul 2022 07:46:30 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=41453 The prominence of bugs and glitches has been a glaring issue in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. Loopers recently reported a wide range of peculiar bugs that affected the core mechanics of every mode.

Even AAA titles like Fortnite cannot avoid bugs. However, coding errors are usually fixable and do not impact the meta. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case in Chapter 3 Season 3 as loopers have come across a plethora of game-breaking glitches already.

From revealing the position of opponents to changing Solos matches into Duos, here’s everything that Fortnite players have experienced in their recent matches.

Fortnite lobbies become non-functional due to a mysterious bug

Notable leakers and thousands of casual players have fronted following issues in Fortnite:

  • Loopers are able to see the locations of all enemies on the mini map. Apparently, the game puts all the players from the same region in a single team which is why they’re able to see each other’s whereabouts.
  • Random players join your team even when playing Solos.
  • People are eliminated randomly without taking any fights or damage.
  • You can get kicked out for cross-teaming.
  • You can edit an opponent’s builds.

A leaker uploaded a clip on Twitter that will surely help readers in understanding the severity of the situation.

The player was able to notice the locations of several nearby opponents and a bunch of random players were added to their team. To make things worse, the game randomly eliminated them in the seventeenth position.

Countless such clips went viral on social media platforms in the past few hours. While some players discovered that friendly fire is back, others bagged Victory Royales with their opponents (we know, it makes no sense).

Last but not least, YouTuber gattu informed that Fortnite allowed players to use reboot vans in Solos.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is now infamous for glitches and server issues

This isn’t the first time that loopers have faced such game-breaking glitches in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. From temporarily disabling Bushy’s Bulb back bling to removing animals from competitive, Epic Games has repeatedly tried to improve the server’s performance but all in vain.

It seems like the aforementioned bugs are no longer occurring and restarting the game has solved it for many players. Surprisingly, loopers loved this dreadful state of Fortnite, but only because it was temporary.

In hindsight, the current state of Fortnite is indeed unsettling. The developers have been releasing a ton of fresh content with every update, but it is usually accompanied by equally extraordinary bugs.

Fortnite glitch in Season 3 makes loopers invincible https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-glitch-in-season-3-makes-loopers-invincible/41330/ Mon, 27 Jun 2022 07:09:28 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=41330 Fortnite players can use rideable animals like Boars and Wolves to become invisible and eventually, invincible. Here’s a quick guide to performing this unusual glitch in Chapter 3 Season 3.

Even AAA titles like Fortnite struggle to get completely rid of bugs and glitches. The community has discovered a ton of bugs related to XP and other mechanics in Chapter 3 Season 3. The latest addition to this list can help players in winning every game with ease.

How to get invisible and unbeatable in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3?

YouTuber GKI recently confirmed that it’s possible for loopers to get unstoppable in Fortnite by following these steps:

  • Tame an animal (boar/wolf) and start riding it. Animals become rideable as soon as you land on their back.
  • Enter a vehicle while sitting on the animal and keep it close to the boar/wolf. Switch to the passenger seat and choose the option to ride the animal without leaving the car.
  • Go away from the vehicle and after covering some distance, double jump.

It is worth noting that players on keyboard and mouse might not be able to move after moving from the passenger seat to the animal in the second step. Accordingly, GKI has used a controller to trigger the glitch.

After performing the double jump in the third step, you will levitate in the air and opponents won’t be able to see you. However, holding the exit button will teleport the character back to the car.

Wolves are now rideable in Fortnite!

As it turns out, there are many glitches related to cars and rideable animals in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. If you switch car seats while riding an animal, the character glitches in a manner that opponents won’t be able to spot their head.

Even though players won’t be able to move when the aforementioned glitch launches them in the air, being unseeable is still a massive advantage in a Battle Royale title.

The glitch can be clearly exploited and loopers should try it at their own risk. If they ruin the experience of others in the lobby, there’s a high possibility that Epic Games will ban them.

Fortnite glitch lets players fly by using the Armored Battle Bus https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-glitch-lets-players-fly-by-using-the-armored-battle-bus/41012/ Tue, 14 Jun 2022 09:18:44 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=41012 Only two Armored Battle Buses spawn on the island in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, and here’s how players can use them to trigger a glitch that lets them fly.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has an abundance of glitches but luckily, none of them have been game-breaking so far. While some grant XP to level up the Battle Pass, others let players do unusual things like going under the map.

One such glitch allows loopers to literally fly and all you need is an Armored Battle Bus and a shark.

How to fly in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3

Long story short, Armored Battle Buses and sharks do not go well together. As reported by u/ShadowOpsFN on the r/FortNiteBR subreddit, when a shark bites an Armored Battle Bus, the massive vehicle uncontrollably floats in the sky.

In a clip that already has thousands of likes, players can see that u/ShadowOpsFN encountered a shark in Logjam Lumberyard’s lake. The impact of the shark’s bite was as intense as it gets, and the looper reached almost reached the spawn island in just 15 seconds.

Sharks in Fortnite are intimidating and buggy

To try this glitch out, players must find an Armored Battle Bus that spawns near the Reality Tree or the Sanctuary beach.

The exact locations of the buses have been marked in the images below:

Unlike the Armored Battle buses, players won’t struggle a lot to find sharks. You can either visit Logjam Lumberyard’s lake like u/ShadowOpsFN or other water bodies such as Loot Lake.

Having said that, loopers should try the aforementioned glitch at their own risk. It is clearly broken and might lead to them losing the game.

Sharks and vehicles have been broken since the inception of Fortnite Chapter 3

Surprisingly, sharks have helped loopers in defying the laws of gravity for the past seven months. At the outset of Chapter 3, prominent creators discovered that vehicles such as trucks, taxis, motorboats, and even tanks cannot withstand shark bites.

Instead of taking damage, the vehicles launch toward the sky and roll in a wild manner. There are countless clips of players triggering this glitch, and Epic Games is yet to patch it.

It is evident that the developers have countless glitches to fix, and they’re currently prioritizing the ones that can affect the meta. For instance, the Dragon Rune Lance is no longer available in-game and Epic Games has disabled it temporarily.

Fortnite glitch lets players go under the map by using Indiana Jones’ boulders https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-glitch-lets-players-go-under-the-map-by-using-indiana-jones-boulders/40997/ Mon, 13 Jun 2022 17:10:11 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=40997 Fortnite players can now go under the Artemis map with an interesting glitch related to the Indiana Jones boulders and Whiplash vehicles.

Fortnite added boulders in Chapter 3 Season 3 as a reference to Indiana Jones. Loopers can commonly find them on cliffs and destroy their base which makes them roll down. The damage output of these boulders is enough to knock down opponents and damage vehicles.

However, a player used the boulders to trigger an unusual glitch and go underground in Fortnite.

Fortnite players can go underground in Chapter 3 Season 3 with a glitch

Apparently, if a boulder falls on a Whiplash, the vehicle loses a ton of HP and goes under the map for a second. Players who wish to remain under the map can exit the vehicle while it is underground.

It is impossible to try this glitch in Solos as one player must destroy the boulder’s base while a teammate has to place the Whiplash right under the falling rock.

The secret skin for Chapter 3 Season 3 is Indiana Jones which explains why boulders are spread all over the map. In Raider of the Lost Ark, there’s a scene in which the protagonist escapes with the golden idol and a boulder chases him.

Even though boulders do not have a significant impact on the meta, loopers love them. Accordingly, Fortnite has added them to Creative:

To find a Whiplash, players can either visit the gas station in Coney Crossroads or Chonker’s Speedway. However, the vehicles at the desert-themed POI are usually equipped with Off-Road Tires mod.

Zero Point in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is protected by invisible barriers

YouTuber GKI used the aforementioned glitch and went under the map near Tilted Towers. The creator comfortably swam through the OG location and reached Loot Lake. In an attempt to reach the Zero Point, he discovered the invisible barriers that stopped him from going any further.

The island seems to be peaceful at the moment as the Zero Point is stable under Loot Lake. However, leakers have revealed some unreleased ripple effects that hint toward some sort of impending trouble.

Loopers can try going under the map and investigate the Zero Point’s stability themselves. It is unlikely that Epic Games will patch this glitch quickly because far more severe and game-breaking XP glitches are gaining prevalence in Fortnite at the moment.

Fortnite players discover game-breaking glitches in Rave Cave in Season 3: “They need to fix this” https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-players-discover-game-breaking-glitches-in-rave-cave-in-season-3-they-need-to-fix-this/40822/ Thu, 09 Jun 2022 09:51:40 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=40822 Rave Cave replaced Covert Cannon in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3. It has arrived with spawn locations for Ballers, roller coaster tracks, and unfortunately, some game-breaking glitches.

Chapter 3 Season 3 released a few days ago, and a prominent YouTuber has already discovered certain bugs that can ruin the experience of anyone visiting Rave Cave. The props and launchpads in the location malfunction at times, and accordingly, here are some issues that players have faced so far.

The problem with Rave Cave in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3

There’s a platform below Cuddle Team Leader’s massive head in Rave Cave where players can find the Cuddle Team Leader NPC as well. Alongside slurp barrels, chests, and floor loot, there are certain props on this platform.

As per YouTuber GKI, the small wooden table on the left and one of the lights near the launchpad are broken. If a player stands on them for just two seconds, they’ll freeze and will be unable to shoot or move.

Players will find the bugged Fortnite props at the location marked below

At the moment, the only way to fix this glitch is to build something over the prop and destroy it. This implies that if players encounter this bug in a Zero Build game, they will definitely end up losing.

Several players have admitted to coming across glitched props in Rave Cave. Accordingly, they expect Epic Games to fix them quickly.

Launchpads in Fortnite’s Rave Cave POI appear to be broken

GKI discovered another issue with the launch pads in Rave Cave. Apparently, if loopers launch themselves and land on a roller coaster rail before opening their glider, they’ll die from fall damage. Ideally, the game automatically opens the glider before players hit the ground but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Rave Cave’s launchpads.

The party-themed location is surrounded by roller coaster tracks and there’s a high possibility that loopers will face such bugs.

Even though the aforementioned glitches are quite situational, they are clearly game-breaking. Encountering them in important games could be the most frustrating thing for players.

As of now, Epic Games hasn’t opened up on the glitched elements of Rave Cave. Hence, players must avoid interacting with the props and the launchpads until a hotfix arrives.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 headshot exploit grants 100,000 XP in a minute https://www.fortniteintel.com/fortnite-chapter-3-season-3-headshot-exploit-grants-100000-xp-in-a-minute/40736/ Tue, 07 Jun 2022 09:14:59 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=40736 Fortnite players aren’t too happy with the XP progression system in Chapter 3 Season 3, and it has even prompted them to look to bugs and glitches. Here’s an XP glitch that hands out 100,000 XP in a minute.

In contrast to the past few seasons, Epic Games has been strict against the misuse of Accolade devices in Creative mode lately. Regardless, certain bugs and glitches still make it to the game and players often look to exploit them.

Getting headshots in Fortnite is a lot harder than it seems

One such glitch lets players deal consistent headshot damage and complete the ‘Get Headshot’ milestone instantly. Here’s everything loopers need to know about it.

Fastest way to complete the ‘Get Headshots’ milestone in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3

The Fortnite community has been enjoying the introduction of rideable animals in Chapter 3 Season 3. Players now have another reason to use this feature though – because they can deal unlimited headshot damage to a Wolf they’re riding.

As reported by Twitter user HighHowDoIPlay, players can shoot a Wolf in the head while riding it with no consequences. The game will register the headshots but the animal won’t take any damage. It is worth noting that the glitch only works with Wolves and not Boars.

Fortnite Season 6 Wolves
Wolves are now rideable in Fortnite

In a Twitter clip that already has thousands of likes, HighHowDoIPlay completed 20 stages of the ‘Get Headshots’ milestone within seconds. Each stage grants 5,000 XP, implying that the overall XP reward from this glitch is 100,000.

How to complete the ‘Get Headshot’ Milestone in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 with a friend

After trying out the aforementioned glitch, a ton of players reported that their bullets go through the Wolf. They can complete the challenge with a friend as the latter can sit on the animal to keep it stationary and the teammate can shoot easily.

It is no surprise that countless loopers have already completed the ‘Get Headshot’ milestone in Chapter 3 Season 3. Others who are struggling to level up the Battle Pass must do so quickly because Epic Games will likely patch it soon.

How to easily break 5 trillion HP DaDoor rock in Fortnite Season 3? https://www.fortniteintel.com/how-to-easily-break-5-trillion-hp-dadoor-rock-in-fortnite-season-3/40709/ Mon, 06 Jun 2022 16:49:57 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=40709 Fortnite continues to hide Easter Eggs and interesting elements in the game that players usually bypass and often ignore. However, this time around with the arrival of Chapter 3 Season 3, a mysterious hidden door, housed right under the caves of Reality Falls, is impossible to break as it boasts a whopping 5 trillion HP.

Glitches in Fortnite are often trending as a new season or an update drops. The player base and content creators set out on a quest to find bugs and glitches across the island that they can use to their advantage as they survive the storm.

One of the recent Glitch discoveries show loopers how to break the mysterious hidden DaDoor (as Epic calls it) with ease, without having to pickaxe the 5 trillion HP rock. The glitch went on viral and left players in disbelief.

Break DaDoor with absolute ease using Cow Catchers

Famous Fortnite YouTuber GKI (aka Glitch King) shows players in the video above on how to break DaDoor in just a few hits without using a pickaxe. The item he uses to perform this impossible feat left loopers in amazement.

Cow catcher
Cow Catchers have stood the test of time and are being used till date

Cow Catchers have been around ever since Chapter 3 Season 2 when The Seven and IO went head-to-head with one another and vehicles on the island needed a combat makeover. The metallic plates could be used as an on-ground barrier or an attachment in front of the vehicle to ram through enemy builds or structures with ease.

dadoor glitch 1
Players would need to ram the vehicle with a cow catcher at the front into DaDoor rock

Similarly, GKI here tells players to use a car with a Cow Catcher attached at the front to perform this glitch to open DaDoor in one go. After the players have the car with them, they can just directly drive the car through the rocks which would blow open on contact with the cow catcher in just a few hits.

dadoor glitch 2
Shadow and Ghost Henchmen, alongside the Trespasser hide inside DaDoor with a Loot Chest

As soon as DaDoor breaks, loopers would be able to spot an entrance where they can enter further inside the cave. Upon entering even further, loopers will be able to spot Ghost and Shadow Henchmen alongside the Trespasser, just hanging around with one another.

This glitch proves to unravel the mystery behind the secret DaDoor that loopers were wondering to be another immortal entity like Klombo. However, like always, the player community finds their way around impossible feats to turn things in their favor.

How to use your bare hands as a pickaxe in Fortnite Season 4 https://www.fortniteintel.com/how-to-use-your-bare-hands-as-a-pickaxe-in-fortnite-season-4/35037/ Thu, 17 Sep 2020 20:09:30 +0000 http://www.fortniteintel.com/?p=35037 Fortnite always has a handful of active glitches – as does nearly every game that provides regular updates. It’s a game of whack-a-mole to some degree; the developers squash one glitch and two more pop up. As a community, all we can hope is that the glitches aren’t game-breaking and don’t affect our enjoyment of Fortnite.

There are a few glitches in the game, right now. Just today, Fortnite players discovered a glitch with the Storm hero ability that allows you to fly around the map for about 20 seconds. Thankfully, however, this and the bulk of the other known glitches that are currently in Fortnite don’t have a drastic effect on who survives a fight.

One glitch, publicized by YouTuber OrangeGuy, is the ideal kind of Fortnite glitch. It has no affect on gameplay but is entertaining to those who use it. The glitch allows you to use your bare hands as a pickaxe.

To complete this glitch, you’ll need to own the Pom Pom or Hulk Hands pickaxes. Epic may add more pickaxes like these, but they’re the only two that will work, for now. After equipping one of these, finishing the glitch is simple. All you need to do is throw up an emoticon and quickly use a throw-able emote. This will remove the pickaxe and let you punch structures for materials with your bare hands.

As the video states, you will fix the glitch if you emote again, but you can always go back by completing the process a second time.

This glitch could stay in the game indefinitely, as it has 0 impact on anything related to competitive integrity. There are almost always bigger fish to fry when it comes to fixing issues in Fortnite. It’s just a fun way to show off to your friends and get them to ask how you did it. Enjoy!
