Fortnite players are facing a new challenge after a mysterious glitch appeared, allowing them to camp indefinitely within the storm. The glitch was recently brought to light by Reddit user u/JellePddit, raising concerns about fair play in Chapter 5 Season 1, since camping in the storm has been a problem in previous seasons, such as Chapter 2 Season 2.
In a post shared by u/JellePddit, players can see themselves in a top 2 situation with the final circle closing in. Instead of engaging in the final showdown, u/JellePddit couldn't find the last opponent. With the circle tightening, the mysterious enemy remained hidden, and while u/JellePddit tried to engage in a heal off, the cards just weren't in their favor, leading to their demise.
The situation took an unexpected turn when, upon being eliminated and spectating the remaining enemy, u/JellePddit saw the former's inventory completely empty, suggesting they had exploited a glitch and camped in the storm throughout the match.
