New instant death location discovered on Fortnite Battle Royale map after v8.51 update Devastating instant death locations have plagued Fortnite Battle Royale during Season 8 and a brand new deadly spot has been found after the v8.51 update, which players will definitely want to avoid. Players have been eliminated in the past by just standing near these places, which were previously found near The Block and also near the Fork Knife location \u2013 resulting in many angry players being thrown out of games for no fault of their own. A new location has now been found in the popular battle royale game, though, and was showcased by streamer Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2019 Hoffman in a clip posted to Twitter, where not one, not two, but three players fell victim to the latest deadly bug. Dakotaz showcases exact \u2018insta-death\u2019 location Dakotaz, as well as two of his teammates, decided to land at Tilted Towers and were (probably sarcastically) complimenting Epic Games for working hard on patching up some of the game\u2019s issues. \u201cBro, Fortnite is actually getting so much better lately. They have been really responsive with the community, fixing bugs man, it\u2019s crazy,\u201d he said. However, they spoke too soon, as they were promptly sucked in and taken out by the instant death spot just moments later. NEW UPDATE IS SICK @yelotree @HighDistortion pic.twitter.com\/o1YqSo9EUQ \u2014 dakotaz (@dakotaz) May 2, 2019 The players were instantly hit with the \u2018You have eliminated yourself\u201d message and were ejected from the game, so you might want to be careful when landing at Tilted Towers as there\u2019s a good chance that many gamers could fall victim to this problem. Epic have since released a statement about the problem: \u201cWe\u2019re aware of an issue with players being eliminated when walking down into the cellar of Knepley\u2019s Pawn Shop in Tilted Towers,\u201d Epic tweeted. \u201cWe\u2019re working on a fix.\u201d Beware of the shady pawn shop cellars! We’re aware of an issue with players being eliminated when walking down into the cellar of Knepley’s Pawn Shop in Tilted Towers. We’re working on a fix. \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) May 2, 2019 When this type of issue has cropped up in the past, the game\u2019s developer has acted fast to resolve the problem, therefore we should expect that fix to be implemented in the near future. We\u2019ll keep you updated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
