Epic Games post surprising reaction to Fortnite players not taking damage in lava Epic GamesFortnite players have found a bug which allows them to walk right over lava without taking any damage, and Epic Games have been quick to issue a response. The developers, who made a whole host of map changes at the beginning of Season 8 on February 28, decided to add a brand new volcano point of interest near the old Wailing Woods site \u2013 featuring pools of what\u2019s supposed to be deadly molten lava. However, another piece of new content added in the v8.00 patch can be used to walk across it like it\u2019s an ordinary floor and it clearly shouldn\u2019t be. The Conga emote, which some streamers have been using to escape the storm in the new season, allows players to dance and move at the same time \u2013 like no other animation in the game.

After the bug started to rise in popularity on Reddit and more people started to notice the clip, so too did Epic\u2019s Community Coordinator Sean Hamilton \u2013 who goes by the online name of MrPopoTFS. \u201cWhile your dance moves are fire, stepping on lava should definitely still be causing damage,\u201d Hamilton posted to the subreddit. \u201cI\u2019ve sent this off to our QA team for investigation.\u201d Whether or not a fix is on the way for this issue remains to be seen, but it\u2019s not the only strange bug fans have found since Season 8 begun. In fact, some players have been instantly eliminated just by landing at some locations in Fortnite. While some fans will be hoping for a fix for some issues, there\u2019s no doubt that others will enjoy dancing across the lava. Watch out for other players, though! You can\u2019t use your weapon at the same time as the emote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
