Fortnite Whirlpools disabled again due to new Season 3 \u201cGod Mode\u201d glitch Epic GamesWhirlpools are proving to be tricky business in Fortnite Season 3. First they were disappearing. Now they are giving players God Mode, forcing Epic to disable them for the time being. Whirlpools are one of the new methods of transport in Fortnite Season 3. With the map inundated with water, the torrents have provided a handy way to jump across from island to island. However, they haven\u2019t been without their issues. Last week, Whirlpools turned invisible \u2014 leading to jokes about Epic disabling them with no reason. Now, there\u2019s a very good reason to disable them. A new \u201cGod Mode\u201d exploit has been found involving Whirlpools which players have been abusing, forcing Epic to once again take them off the map. \u201cDue to an issue, we\u2019re temporarily disabling Whirlpools in all playlists,\u201d the devs said on July 9. Due to an issue, we\u2019re temporarily disabling Whirlpools in all playlist. We\u2019ll provide an update when they have returned. pic.twitter.com\/MJF738wlsd \u2014 Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) July 10, 2020 It\u2019s unclear how the Whirlpool God Mode glitch occurred. However, it could be similar to a glitch late last week uncovered by Aussie YouTuber Lannan \u2018LazarBeam\u2019 Eacott. LazarBeam didn\u2019t share his secrets \u2014 so as to not let people abuse it. However, players caught on. Through a mix of Whirlpools and Secret Passages, players were able to get God Mode. While they couldn\u2019t use weapons, when you are invisible and invincible, a pickaxe is enough to win. It\u2019s not the only God Mode glitch that has forced Epic to change their course in Fortnite Season 3. Secret Passages alone were enough to get the exploit, which forced Epic to disable the portaloos for a day. If you have a \u201cUse a Whirlpool\u201d challenge awaiting you to complete your Season 3 battle pass missions, you\u2019ll need to hang tight. Epic hasn\u2019t stated whether they\u2019ll be awarding free XP to players \u2014 like they did with the Floating Rings glitch at Pleasant Park. Also, if you\u2019ve been abusing the Whirlpool God Mode glitch before it was disabled, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise. Epic hasn\u2019t feared to swing the ban hammer before for players abusing exploits. If another similar glitch pops up this season, it might be best to stay away, especially if you want to keep your account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
