Epic Games respond to quirky Fortnite Jellie skin glitches Epic GamesAfter only being added into Fortnite with the January 20 store update, the Rare Jellie skin seems to have taken its name literally as developers at Epic Games have responded to some hilarious glitches. Adding in countless cosmetic items week in and week out, it\u2019s no surprise certain skins would eventually come with a few bugs. One of the most recent Fortnite updates introduced the community to Jellie, a whimsical new skin that looks to be made entirely from a gelatinous substance. While visual design and actual in-game function are two completely separate things, it appears as though this skin is actually made of jelly as a few amusing bugs have forced Epic Games to comment on the new cosmetic. \u201cThe anemone you don\u2019t want for an enemy,\u201d the in-game store reads when hovering over the Rare Jellie skin. That statement couldn\u2019t be more accurate as bizarre visual glitches could make your enemies impossible to hit. With three players using the bugged skin, Reddit user \u2018Dolotone\u2019 and his squad started to emote in the middle of a match. In just a matter of seconds, one player stumbled upon a ridiculous glitch that saw Jellie\u2019s legs grow a dozen times their regular size. Taking all sorts of odd shapes and sizes throughout the animation, the player made himself a far more difficult target for anyone to hit. Amusingly enough, these quirky glitches aren\u2019t exclusive to the battlefield however, as players using the Jellie skin are able to bug their character model in the main menu as well. One example from \u2018froggiejp\u2019 shows the skins legs expanding in the menu while they spun in a circle. Others in the lobby didn\u2019t seem to mind a gelatinous helicopter phasing through them but eventually, the legs returned to normal size. Similarly, the \u2018Spring-Loaded\u2019 emote also serves as a catalyst for some ridiculous visual bugs. Expanding and contracting all over the screen, the longer this emote goes on the more whacky Jellie\u2019s skin appears. \u201cHe\u2019s got those dancin\u2019 feet!\u201d Epic Games community coordinator \u2018EmptyTux\u2019 responded on Reddit. \u201cThanks for the vid, we\u2019ll investigate.\u201d There\u2019s no quite telling just how soon the issues will be patched out of the game though it\u2019s clear that it wasn\u2019t an intentional feature from Epic to make the skin that little bit more unique. Until the problems are resolved, however, this could be a hilarious way to freak your friends out in the lobby before loading into a match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
