Soft aiming in Fortnite is a hack that allows players to gain a massive advantage over others in the globally renowned Battle Royale game.

The soft aim hack works as an auto-trigger for users. This means that whenever a hacker places their crosshair on a player, the weapon will automatically fire with 100% accuracy. Additionally, the soft aim hack does not get affected by movement or any form of motion that the hacker might be undergoing.

However, similar to most other hacks and cheats, the soft aim hack only works when the player installs a third-party application to alter Fortnite. This means that the third-party software can be detected by the anti-cheat engine present in the game, eventually resulting in a banned player using malicious tools.
