Latest Fortnite glitch ruins the game

The glitch forcefully makes players aim down sights, slowing their movement and disallowing them from using items like the Med-Mist. The latest Fortnite glitch can occur after players pick up items from the floor. This usually happens after eliminating another player and picking up their loot, causing certain items to glitch.

Once the glitch affects players, they cannot move properly as the game keeps aiming down sights for them. As Fortnite players are aware, aiming down sights slows down movement, which is a severe handicap when not done on purpose.

Furthermore, some items like the Med-Mist cannot be used properly when aiming down sights. If loopers want to use the healing item on themselves, they need to use the primary fire button. However, when they want to use it on their squadmates, they use the ADS button.

To avoid the Fortnite glitch, players need to drop all of their items from their inventory and pick them back up. This will cause the glitch to disappear, and players will be able to play the game normally.

As seen in Tabor Hill's video, the new Fortnite glitch prevents players from using Med-Mist as the game keeps aiming down sights. The popular YouTube creator went on to elaborate on how bad the new Fortnite glitch is.

He kept aiming down sights without choosing to do so, which made it virtually impossible to eliminate an enemy. Even after he successfully eliminated the enemy, he was left with two HP and decided to use the Med-Mist.

Unfortunately, the glitch prevented the item from healing him, and another player took Tabor Hill down shortly after.
