Fortnite: New glitch allows players to build flying drones using C4 and mines

With Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 release date being pushed back for the third time, lack of content has propelled players to be creative with items that are currently available.

Recently, a popular Fortnite Youtuber, SypherPK rolled out a video showcasing a new glitch born purely out of genius. The video in question features a gizmo of sorts built out of two explosive items in the game; C4 and Proximity mines.

Players dubbed it as a glitch that allows you to fly your own custom-built drones in Fortnite. On the other hand, players who came across the flying object by accident for the first time were completely baffled. Many labeled it as a UFO, while other assumed it could be another Fortnite teaser towards the upcoming Season 3.

While there is a horde of game-breaking glitches in Fortnite, the one in question is a fairly harmless one that does not equip players with major advantages over their enemies.

In order to build your own drone, here is what you need to do.

• Gather C4 and Proximity mines from chests. Your chances of finding the item increases when searching inside boss vaults (The Agency, Grotto, Shark and The Rig).
• Find an empty place where you are not being contested since setting it up might take a while.
• Build a wall directly in front of you.
• From here, switch to C4 in your inventory and place the item at the center of your wall.
• Move onto Proximity mines and place the mine right on the extreme top of the wall but directly above the C4.
• Once you are sure the items are placed correctly, edit the entire wall, leaving only the bottom 3 pieces.
• Soon as the Proximity mine falls onto the C4, break the remaining three pieces of your wall, and Voila!

You are presented with your custom-made flying drone in Fortnite.

Here is a video of how, your drone should look once ready:
