Epic Games has made it fairly clear they aren’t accepting of cheaters; with a history of vicious
lawsuits and allegations against the likes of both minors and adults, it doesn’t seem
like Epic cares to be flexible on the matter.
But for those who still want to get an upper hand in the game without having to worry about
getting busted by the developers, there’s still a few ways to ‘hack’ the game in
a totally legal manner.
So without any more hesitation, here’s our list of the top 10 ways to hack fortnite!
10 Getting to the ground Jumping out of the battle bus and getting
to the ground as soon as possible is key in ensuring you’ll have some sort of advantage
right from the get-go of a match.
But one of the many issues some players have with the game is how your glider will always
open when you get to a certain height, forcing you to drop safely to the ground below.
But some players have managed to find a hack around this; your glider doesn’t open over
water, and some people have used this as a way to get closer to the ground at a quicker
rate.
The trick is to position yourself above a body of water, and then open up your glider
with enough time to maneuver over to solid ground.
9 Pyramid Power Want to get across Loot Lake faster?
Cross it diagonally?
Well, thanks to a tip posted by Fickle Platypus on Reddit, there’s an easy way to cross
the lake without completely depleting your resources.
Use the power of pyramid structures!
Check it out.
8 Keep You Back to the Storm One of the ways players are eliminated easily
from a match is when they aren’t watching their backs.
This is why many feel that the best locations to drop down to at the beginning of a match
are along the coast.
But when the storm pushes you inwards, the best way to ensure you won’t have anyone
lurking behind you, tracking you down is to keep your back to the storm.
As long as you have enough time to avoid getting sucked into the storm, skirt the edges of
the circle, and it’s likely you’ll even get a better view of targets that way.
7 The Easy Way Out Are you playing Fortnite just for the bragging
rights?
Do you suck at FPS but want to prove yourself to your friends?
Well one suggestion kicking around on the interwebs is to do the opposite of what’s
instinctual in the game; avoid killing people.
Yeah, really.
So the idea behind this one is that if you engage as little as possible, you’ll be
much closer to getting a victory royale, or at least placing in a top spot by the end
of the match, all by going out of your way to not shoot at anyone, and remain hidden.
It’s a bit of a coward’s way out, but it’ll let you survive long enough to pick
off players.
For example, if you get bush camping, and notice two players going at it intensely,
one of them will inevitably eliminate the other.
Then they’ll likely heal up.
This is when you make your move.
6 Get High Literally.
Height is key in battle royale, and if used correctly, can not only be lethal, but keep
you safe.
If you get yourself up on top of a high hill or a mountain, build yourself a little base,
only a few levels high, about three.
This will not only give you a solid vantage point of the surrounding area, but it’ll
also give you cover, and it’ll protect you from getting pushed down to your death, too.
If anyone approaches you, you’ll be able to hear them building.
5 A Watery Boost Fire hydrants aren’t just cosmetic, friends.
If you shoot off the top of a fire hydrant, it’ll start blasting out water.
Aside from being fun to do, you can use that water blast to your advantage.
Jump on top of it, and you’ll get launched in the air, giving you a bit of a boost if
you need a quick exit out of a messy situation, or want to cover nearby ground at a faster
pace.
4 A Softer Landing Speaking of being launched up into the air,
if you ever find yourself in need protecting yourself from a fall, there’s a way to make
sure you don’t end up falling to your death.
Since gliders will only activate when jumping from the launch pad after you’ve initially
glided down from the battle bus, a way to ensure that you can still drop from high heights
and make it to the ground alright is to build your way down.
In other words, start building floor panels beneath you when you’re close to the ground.
As long as you have enough materials, this will protect your fall with something that
looks like a quickly put together staircase.
3 Loot Up Anyone who has ever played Fornite knows that
one of the best advantages you can score early on in the game is getting lucky with loot.
And in order to do that, you need to make sure you grab loot as quickly as possible,
if not immediately after you land.
You also don’t want to be left out in the open with minimal ways of defending yourself,
otherwise it’ll be game over soon than you’d like.
While updates since September 2017 have changed the location of loot somewhat since Battle
Royale first hit the scene, for the most part, it hasn’t varied in a massive way.
According to one ‘study’ done by author and gamer Ford James, who collected stats
from 1,000 games, the top 5 places to get lucky with loot are Mystery Mansion (which
is just south of lonely lodge), rapid racetrack, Hostile Headquarters (which is northeast of
snobby shores), Haunted Hills, and Lonely Lodge, in that order.
Out of the 38 games that James landed there, he finished in the top three in solos or duos
22 times, with 15 of those times being wins, thanks to the loot he picked up there.
2 Shopping Carts One of Fortnite’s most recent additions
is the shopping cart; introduced on May 30th of 2018, fans immediately dug them, and they
were a super fun way to get around with a friend.
Players found a way to take advantage of the carts though, by combining them with structures
that essentially turned them into derailed amusement park rides.
So this led to the carts being disabled on June 11th, then returning on June 14th, being
removed on the 16th, and then returning again on the 20th, ONLY TO BE REMOVED AGAIN two
hours after.
What the hell?
The official Fortnite twitter tweeted out that the shopping carts were being disabled,
and that they would update players when the issue was resolved.
Turns out players were using them to go beneath the map in one of the OG Fortnite glitches;
the one where you can go under the ground and hide from your enemies, making you invisible
and capable of taking out foes while being undetected.
While you can die from the storm, you’re pretty much impervious to any other damage.
For now, the shopping carts have been removed from the game, but if they ever make a comeback,
it’s worth giving this one a go.
1 Head Glitch This glitch was spotted by streamer DrLupo,
who noted that if you built a pyramid and edit two of the corners, this would lead to
a glitch where you could shoot over the ramp in your structure but not be seen by other
players, preventing you from receiving damage when you poked up to shoot others.
While DrLupo has alerted the developers, noting that this glitch, I quote, “does need to
get exposed because it needs to get fixed”, it hasn’t been resolved yet, although many
suspect that due to Epic Game’s quick responsiveness in the past, the glitch will likely be gone
from the patch that came out on June 26th 2018.
So perhaps give it a go and see?
