There is a new Fortnite glitch being called the "Gear Specialist Maya glitch." However, unlike many other glitches, there is hardly an advantage to this. Instead of making you invisible or changing the colors of the cosmetic, it can cause irreversible damage to your Maya Outfit as well as certain in-game Glider.

The Gear Specialist Maya Outfit and the Brella Glider can be ruined with this glitch that is very easy to do accidentally. To avoid this, you need to know what leads to it until Epic Games can fix it. Fortunately, this article will show you exactly what causes it so you can prevent it from occurring.

Fortnite glitch has endagered the Maya Outfit and Brella Glider

Epic Games recently introduced a new feature to the game, which has unfortunately had a few terrible side effects for Fortnite players.

Those with either the Gear Specialist Maya Outfit or the Brella Glider will want to pay special attention to this. Maya and Brella are by far the most customizable cosmetics in the game. It gives players the opportunity to add their own touch to the scarf, sleeves, hair, tattoos, and so much more in the Outfit and on every individual piece of the Glider.

The feature is a shuffle option, which allows every part of the locker to be randomized. If it selects either the Outfit or Glider, their customization will be randomized, too.

Unfortunately, this means they will be stuck that way. The feature is supposed to completely randomize the locker, which means the style and customization of possible cosmetics. However, this Fortnite glitch causes them to stay that way.

Many gamers have the Fortnite Maya Outfit set how they want, and this will change it until something is done by the developer.

Naturally, this is am in-game Fortnite glitch, which means that Epic Games will fix it eventually. Given how popular Maya and the Brella are, the developer will want to prevent this from happening. It designed the shuffle option to benefit players, but if no one is using it out of fear of ruining cosmetics, then it will be rendered useless.

The "Gear Specialist Maya glitch" is not exactly a game-breaking Fortnite glitch. Since it only affects cosmetcis, it will very likely be fixed in the next patch rather than an emergency update. Both cosmetics should eventually be safe and the dice roll can then be used again.

In the meantime, players are advised to try and avoid using the dice feature. If they wish to use it, they can try archiving the Maya Outfit and the Brella Glider first to prevent the issue.
