Fortnite: Ninja stunned by overpowered Storm Scout Sniper exploit Twitch: Ninja \/ Epic GamesEpic Games added the brand new Storm Scout Sniper Rifle to v9.41 Content Update, and after using it during his July 24 stream, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins was stunned by an exploit with the gun\u2019s recoil system. The Storm Scout Sniper is the latest addition to the game\u2019s myriad of long-distance weapons, but its special scope that shows where the storm is headed sets it apart from the other guns in its class. Alongside the handy storm device, it certainly packs a punch with base damage scores of 81 and 85, and an exploit for the weapon that means that it fires perfectly straight when hipfired makes it one of the most deadly items on the map right now. Hopping on to the popular battle royale game following the update, Ninja picked up the brand-new Storm Scout Sniper Rifle, and saw his chat explaining to him about the exploit that makes the weapon deadly when hipfired. After listening to his chat, the streamer tried it out, only to find that it wasn\u2019t working, with his bullets flying haphazardly. The Twitch streamer quickly figured out the problem though, and realised that by scoping in and then firing, the weapon would shoot in a perfectly straight line from hipfire, with no need to aim in again. Ninja explained: \u201cIf I ADS\u2026 Yeah. Wow. Alright. So you\u2019ve got to ADS and then [it works].\u201d While he could see the power, Ninja admitted that he didn\u2019t find it overly enjoyable. That was, until, he cracked an enemy who was flying beside him with a hip fired shot, dealing 81 damage in the process. \u201cI just don\u2019t really see the fun in it,\u201d stated the 28-year-old, mere seconds before he blasted the enemy, before admitting: \u201cOk, that was fun.\u201d Ninja was just as shocked by the weapon\u2019s overall damage, expressing his surprise on the usefulness of the storm tracker, before yelling in astonishment when he dealt 201 damage to an opponent with a perfectly placed headshot. While the weapon seems incredibly powerful, fortunately competitors at the Fortnite World Cup won\u2019t have to deal with it, as it appears that it won\u2019t be available during the tournament. Whether this is because of the issues that are affecting the weapon, or because they felt it was released too close to the start of the tournament remains to be seen, but fans will be hopeful that the developers can fix the exploit quickly so they can stop getting beamed by a hip-firing opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
