“Shouldn’t have backed down”: Fortnite community hilariously reacts to War Bus glitch launching player away

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has introduced a ton of new in-game content, enhancing the season's overall experience with the addition of powerful items and vehicles like the Mythic Nitro Cars and the War Bus for players to use in the vehicular warfare-based season. While these elements add a layer of excitement, they come with their fair share of bugs and glitches, especially the new War Bus.

This is highlighted in a recent Reddit clip, where the player can be seen in a solo match in Chapter 5 Season 3, wearing the newly released Nick Eh 30 skin and using the War Bus cannons to combat NPC enemies. However, as the player exited the War Bus cannon, they were surprisingly launched away due to a glitch, leading them to be eliminated by fall damage.

Other members of the community also took to the comments to provide their takes on the Chapter 5 Season 3 moment, with Reddit user u/jelloalienmeow providing a potential way to avoid the accidental elimination by using the Nitro Cannisters in the player's inventory.

Meanwhile, Reddit user u/Maximum-Pause-6914 joked about how the player just wasn't simply skilled enough for the War Bus and that's why they were launched away.

Reddit user u/fileq kept the train of jokes going and suggested that the only way the player could have survived the glitch was to adapt to it. However, Reddit user u/Madgameboy, on the other hand, had a serious suggestion, expressing how the accidental elimination could have been avoided if the player used the Nitro Fists or infused themselves with Nitro.

Where to find the War Bus in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3?

The War Bus was introduced to Fortnite with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 3, and this modified Battle Bus can be found driving around the Island being accompanied by Megalo Don's Wasteland Warriors. To acquire the War Bus, players must eliminate the hostile NPCs inhabiting the bus, which can be quite challenging if the NPCs stay inside the War Bus.

Additionally, it is possible that the War Bus spawns with one of the three Fortnite Boss NPCs driving alongside it, further adding to the challenge of getting your hands on this war wagon during a match.
