Epic disables boats in Fortnite due to multiple game-breaking glitches Epic GamesEpic Games have been forced to disable Motorboats \u2014 one of Fortnite\u2019s best vehicles for traversing the Season 3 map \u2014 due to multiple game-breaking glitches giving people infinite items, or potentially plunging them to their death. Boats are key in Fortnite Season 3. While it\u2019s less so nowadays with the water level receding to normal levels, beforehand, it was one of the only ways to get around the map efficiently. Regardless, disabling them would have disastrous consequences for how Fortnite is actually played. Epic has been forced to take that drastic step though after two game-breaking glitches were uncovered. Due to an issue, we\u2019ve temporarily disabled Motorboats in all game modes. We\u2019ll provide an update when this is resolved. pic.twitter.com\/B08UWqBdn9 \u2014 Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) August 3, 2020 \u201cDue to an issue, we\u2019ve temporarily disabled Motorboats in all game modes,\u201d the developers said on August 2. One of the glitches involves the new Coral Castle POI. Home to Aquaman, the Atlantis-themed drop zone has been popular since its introduction on August 1, but it\u2019s proving to be a nuisance to traverse by boat.

While it\u2019d make them untargetable, they\u2019d slowly drown to death under the map. was looking for the spaceship and then somehow broke the game pic.twitter.com\/i5XeQsBBuc \u2014 Lucas7yoshi \u2013 FESTIVAL ARC???

Obviously, the repercussions of this are a lot clearer and easier to understand \u2014 more healing means you\u2019re more likely to win. The exploit worked by quickly switching between the item and your pickaxe while jumping into a boat. When players then jumped back out, they\u2019d have 1,000,000 of the item while still taking up the same amount of space in your inventory. Without cars being in the game, this leaves Choppas as the only reliable way to get around the Fortnite map. Epic hasn\u2019t put a time frame on how long they expect boats to be out of commission for, but just be mindful of it when you launch into your next game. If you rely on boats to make your rotations, you\u2019ll have to find a new way around pronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
