An unforeseen glitch turns the tide against u/Goaty29 as while navigating the tight confines of the safe zone, they land on a seemingly harmless sloped roof. Much to their dismay, they became stuck in an inescapable position, being completely unable to move. Despite having top-tier equipment like Nisha's Society Medallion and Nisha's Mythic Striker AR, the clip showcases how the glitch works.
Being stuck in that position, an enemy player took notice and got a quick snipe off, swiftly sending u/Goaty29 back to the lobby, all thanks to a harmless sloped roof. While u/Goaty29 tried to escape with the Grapple Blade in their last moments, it was too late, as their being stuck on the roof had given the enemy enough time to line up a perfect shot.
