However, with this simple trick, you can completely block them from triggering. Epic Games has been looking into a number of weapon and item issues since Season 7 first launched on December 6 of last year, with some newer features like the Infinity Blade, Grappler and others being sent to the vault. Now, though, it seems that there\u2019s a bug with one of the game\u2019s long-standing items \u2013 traps. In a post to the Fortnite BR subreddit, user angelotadeucci shows how you can bypass a trap totally unscathed. All it takes is a quick build and it won\u2019t move an inch, even if you\u2019re standing right next to it. As shown in the clip below, \u2018in the know\u2019 players will be able to disable traps that other people have set by placing either a ramp in front of it or an edited roof. Once placed, you can destroy the object you\u2019ve created and the trap will not activate. This will, clearly, put some players at a disadvantage if they\u2019re using traps to protect themselves. The creator of the video does explain, however, that this has to be done correctly in order to work properly. For example, by falling onto a floor trap right after destroying your build, the trap will still activate. Whether or not Epic is aware of this issue is unclear, but \u2013 presumably \u2013 traps should not be locking up completely because of a simple build. At the time of writing, this strategy can still be used in the game to disable them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s how to easily prevent Fortnite traps from activating Muselk \/ YouTubeFortnite eliminations are not always easy to take, but trap deaths can look quite embarrassing.
