Everybody, is talking about for tonight i'm sure just about all of you are fully aware of that but just like most video games with

Get formed and created, what is up guys?
Jimmy, your cows, welcome to chaos opt-ins, and today we're?
Gonna be checking out 10 myths about fortnight that you may have believed so let's just jump into it this

kicking off the list today is the one shield glitch that gives you, one
Shield now this is an infamous one shield glitch that has been in the game for months now
and quite honestly
I'm kind of shocked that it hasn't been patched out yet as of the making of this video but i'm sure you
Guys, are all familiar with it this is a visual glitch that happens after you take heavy damage
Where your shield will be broken and you will start taking hp, damage but
your hud
still says that you have one shield point left however the key words there were
Visual glitch, because that's all it is the one shield glitch is just a glitch in the game's hud
And it doesn't actually grant you any health this glitch is also the reason
Why sometimes you'll break it in to me shield
But they'll continue to pop blue damage numbers instead of white ones but no no
People the one shield glitch does not actually grant you any extra health it is just a bug in the display
That i really, don't know, why they haven't taken care of yet
Number 9 you can shoot between the beams of player made
Structures that's right, we have one that people still seem to think
They can, do it and honestly i don't blame them so as you, guys know
When a player makes something out of wood you can see in between the beams of that structure while with
Brick it's a little tougher
And with steel you can't see anything at all but with the wood structures that gap between the beams is the biggest of all the
Materials, oh is it big enough for a bullet to get through you may, ask, well no
Unfortunately is not and if anybody tells you it is they are, lying to you
You can, see through the cracks of wood and brick structures but, you cannot actually shoot a bullet right through them the reason
Why, some people think you can
Do this however is because there are certain structures on the fort night map with little gaps between the beams
Where you can't shoot through those so i don't blame people for thinking the same can, be done for player made structures but
It's just not true if it's something that you build, yourself you cannot shoot through the gaps
animal rage this is a common, one
Different skins have different hit boxes this is a pretty common discussion between players as the different character schemes before tonight are very
Obviously different in sizes in various
Ways leading many players to think that they can actually have different hit boxes however this is not the case
While different skins, may be different sizes around the shoulders waist
And head the hitboxes are not actually noticeably different
now the differences in sizes are already very small but even when you are playing one of the smaller characters
The hitbox, is still the same size this is why if you shoot at
A smaller character you can sometimes land a hit on them without actually touching, their body and it's, also, why
When you shoot it one of the bigger characters sometimes your bullets seem to whiz right through them
The hip boxes are the same for all characters
Regardless of size but people like to swear by the fact that you should use the skinnier smaller characters because they, feel like
They have an advantage head, hey it's placebo effect. If they feel, like, they have an advantage let, him use it but in reality
They really don't a
Number seven you can, use emotes to skip healing timers now
This, was a pretty interesting glitch, that was active a, while back when it was pretty quickly patched out by epic after attention
Was brought to the fort night battle royale subreddit in this glitch you could, use the rock-paper-scissors
Emote to completely skip the users timers on bandages and big shield potions so the effects
Would happen instantly it was pretty insane and you can obviously see how
this Would be a little game breaking for the meta
Thankfully epic quietly patched this out in april of 2018 however since this
Was possible with only one emote it definitely raises the question of what their actions are possible with
Any of these other countless emotes that are added to the game and that's one of the issues that
Fortnight and epic has they add so much stuff so often that they have to make sure they, don't get slid in there with
bugs, and glitches i
Number-6. Launchpads negate fall damage this is a pretty interesting little trick that people have taken they take it to it i'm sure
Everyone here is aware that if you fall a certain distance in fortnight you'll start taking fall damage a general rule of thumb
Is that you'll start taking fall damage after about three storeys worth of falling, but, did you guys know
That if you land your fall on a launch pad you can actually negate all of that fall damage and go straight into a jump
Animation so this is one of the few myths on this list, that is actually
Correct it is actually factual give it a shot next time just be sure to aim correctly or you'll end up regretting it
Cracking you to the top, five today tires negate fall damage this is a myth that, also
Well it used to be true but unfortunately it isn't a thing anymore so i can understand, why
People still believe it back when the portal ports were first introduced
People quickly discovered that if you jumped off a tire all of your fall damage for that specific bounce
Would be negated it would be absorbed so people were doing, some insane things like
Using the tires from porta ports to bounce off cliffs with, absolutely
No, consequences however this was once again, quietly patched out
By epic games quickly after being discovered so you, can't, do that anymore but
What about the other way around let's spin it around can tires save you from fall damage if you land on them, well
Kind of there's a bit of uncertainty about this one because of how inconsistent the tires can
Be there are plenty of clips of people falling from insane distances and then saving themselves on a tire but there's
Also plenty of clips of people failing that exact thing though so i mean it's a little unclear how
Exactly the tires function in relation to fall damage but one thing is for certain
Then that's a fact that tires do not negate your fall damage anymore
number four the minigun is
Unviable one thing that many players seem to think about the minigun is it's totally
Enviable and should never be picked up during gameplay unless it's a last resort, and while i agree with this to a
Certain extent it's not totally true when you look at the numbers the minigun is definitely not a good weapon for combat
Unless it's a very early, game thing, where people don't have shields but that's really not what the gun
is supposed to be used for the minigun is
Extremely effective at taking down structures due to its high rate of fire lack of reload and it's insanely high dps
Ninja, himself even set on a stream not too long
Ago then if a squad has a minigun or two you can completely
Invalidate an enemy's approaches just by spamming that at them so y-you, may be correct for thinking the minigun
Sucks for combat it's definitely not an unviable thing it does serve a purpose
Number three the suppressed, smg is unviable i'm not gonna lie here if you told, me the suppressed, smg, was unviable a couple weeks
Ago i would have, agreed with
You, however after the recent buff to the weapon it's actually
Not bad i can't believe i'm saying this unfortunately since it's been such a trash gun for so long
People still tend to think of it that way recently epic games gave the suppressed, smg a long-awaited
Buff cranking up the damage in the effective range, while
Still keeping its audio muted in its bullet as hit skin so this thing is actually pretty
Solid now for the early, game now is it as good as a shotgun or a. Tactical smg
Absolutely not but but it is a decent starter weapon now
At number two you can, warp through, walls there have been some
Weird things happen recently
Regarding wall warping and people shooting through player mate structures so let me go ahead and break it down
So you guys can understand it a little better in the game's current state when a player lays down
A, structure the structure hitbox does not immediately come into existence
Instead the hitbox will come into existence
Only once the structure is not touching any other player for example if you click the build, ramp button but there's another players head
Sticking through, the ramp when you
Do it the ramps hitbox will not fully load in until that player moves to either side of the structure now
Because of this lack of a full hitbox it also allows bullets and explosives to pass through the structure giving the illusion
That people are shooting through the, walls so this myth is both true, and false while it is possible to warp through
Walls it's not something that happens on command at number one today winds
dictate player
Skill this is probably the most common myth i see thrown around the fort night community people seem to think
There's a number of wins you have in the frequency in which you get those wins dictates how
Good of a player you actually or when in reality that's not the case at all and many top players and streamers will
Agree with, this there's a, huge difference between playing four kills
and
Plague, four wins after all you can camp in a corner and not engage anybody the entire game and then just pop out at
The very last second get one kill and get your win but does that make you a good player
Absolutely not because the second you go up against someone who knows what they're doing you're
Gonna get demolished so while good players do tend to have really
High wind counts keep in mind that that doesn't go the other way, and that wind count does not represent
Your overall skill your skill at fortnight is dictated by your ability to shoot build loot
And apply all of those things under pressure it is not dictated. By your ability to play cheesy
foursome wins
