Exploiting an Invisibility glitch and still lost byu/speedyyyyy inFortNiteBR

The battle, taking place in a solo Zero Build match, saw u/speedyyyyy donning the Jolly Jammer skin and preparing to face the enemy in the vault. As the player wondered why they could hear footsteps and see the visual indicators for enemy footsteps but not see the enemy, they realized their opponent had seemingly acquired the uncanny ability of invisibility.

Despite the unseen presence, the enemy player could wield weapons and engage in combat, posing a formidable and unique challenge to u/speedyyyyy. However, undeterred by the invisible foe, the player maintained their composure and started unloading bullets towards the opponent, who was trying to use the Ballistic Shield to protect themselves from any and all damage.

Through sheer determination and luck, u/speedyyyyy was able to land some shots on the opponent, inflicting some damage. Recognizing the opportunity presented by the enemy's visible damage numbers, the player boldly rushed the enemy. Equipping themselves with the mythic Frenzy Auto Shotgun, the player unleashed a barrage of shots, penetrating the enemy's Ballistic Shield defense and eliminating them, punctuating their victory with the Laugh It Up emote.

The Fortnite community blew up with discussion after witnessing the baffling encounter captured by u/speedyyyyy in the Reddit clip, with players expressing how this was an instance where the Laugh It Up emote was justified.

While some players suggested the possibility of the enemy using the new Mythic EMP Stealth Camo, others argued that the item's mechanics wouldn't allow the enemy to wield weapons.
