Fortnite players angry with game-breaking \u201cghost hitmarkers\u201d Epic Games \/ pixabayFortnite players are once again upset by the popular battle royale title, heading to Reddit to complain about an apparent increase in the number of shots that are connecting with opponents, but dealing no damage. Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world, and with Season 10 drawing to a conclusion, many players are hopping into the Battle Bus in search of some final Victory Royales before the big Season 11 update, which is scheduled for the week beginning October 14. Many who have jumped into the game are reporting issues though, complaining that they receive hitmarkers for landing bullets accurately on an opponent, but that they aren\u2019t dealing any damage, while others state that on occasion their weapons just refuse to fire. In a Reddit post on October 8, user TheAaronLad stated that he had seen a \u201cmajor increase in blank shots on all guns,\u201d asking if he was alone in this, and stating that he had hit an opponent with 10 bullets using an Assault Rifle and only two did damage, while a similar situation happened with an Infantry Rifle. \u201cMy ping was on 25 or lower both times,\u201d he complained. \u201cIt\u2019s happened countless times since I\u2019ve been playing in the last day.\u201d While TheAaronLad was concerned that he was the only one affected by this issue, many other players used his post to share their experience, with many claiming that the problem is worse than ever. One player stated: \u201c(I have) 10 ping and I get constant blanks with (the Pump Shotgun) and Assault Rifle. This last week has been worse than I\u2019ve ever seen it.\u201d \u201cLast couple of days, everyone in our squad is seeing ghost shots,\u201d wrote another. \u201cI thought I hit someone, got no damage. I try to trust the game but I had spectators who all swore I hit them square in the face.\u201d User SS-750 felt the same, writing: \u201cHappening here too. Lasering people with the Infantry Rifle and not getting hits. Also happening with all ARs, but it\u2019s harder to know for sure with the bloom. I\u2019m honest with my aim though, and it is 100% different than what it has been.\u201d While the problems seem to be widespread, Epic Games have yet to address them officially or reveal a timeframe for a possible fix. Most likely, players will have to wait for the Season 11 patch next week before any changes are made, as there are no other updates scheduled between now and the new season kick-off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
