With a game that constantly updates and alters its servers like Epic Game’s massive hit
Fortnite, you’re bound to see a glitch every now and then.
While some are comical, and others frustrating, sometimes, the glitches that you encounter
can be downright creepy and unsettling.
So today, we’re taking a closer look at the ones that made us uncomfortable with our
list of the top 10 scary fortnite glitches.
Note that a good chunk of these have already been revised by Epic thanks to their patches
and updates, so with that in mind, let’s get to it!
10.
Crawling like an insect This glitch is one of the many that’s horrifying
to witness.
What happens when a player is affected by this glitch is that they’ll drop to the
ground after getting hit, waiting to be revived, and appear to digging, with debris flying
all around them while their body twitches as if they’re having a seizure.
When they try to crawl, their limbs look as if they’re moving around like an insect.
9.
No Face skin glitch This feels like it’s something out of a
Fortnite creepy pasta – there’s a glitch that can remove your skin’s face altogether,
and it’s creepy as hell.
Here we have a video from streamer AlienOrganism, and his reaction to the faceless skin is pretty
darn spot on.
8.
Beard Wings When new updates or limited time modes come
out in the game, it’s not uncommon for bugs to appear.
This one in particular is equal parts terrifying as it is hilarious.
After the 8.40 update, players began to notice that the Blackheart skin had uncontrollable
beard growth during the Deep Fried Food Fight LTM, covering most of your screen.
For players who experienced it, it could be incredibly frustrating, since it blocked out
a whole lot of your visibility.
7.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT I think this one is pretty self explanatory.
Yeeeeah.
While some players thought this glitch was hilarious, others found it incredibly irritating,
since it allowed players to hide behind it, use it as cover, and snipe other nearby players
who couldn’t see them thanks to the giant head.
6.
Laying upside down This is a glitch that more commonly occurs
while in Playground mode, and it’s one that’s scarier when you see it rather than when you
do it.
Essentially, it turns you on your side, and causes you to run around as if you’re laying
upside or sideways.
So how do you make it happen?
You need to get an ATK and drive it along the edge of the map.
Take it outside of the map and make sure it flips over, hitting the water while flipping.
When you respawn, your character is upside down, and it’s trippy as hell.
5.
Dancing Trees?
This one makes you feel like you’re tripping out on hallucinogenic.
This is the dancing tree glitch – the tree appears to be swaying in the wind like it
were one of the blades of grass on the ground below.
Except, you know, trees DO NOT move like that.
At least in real life.
Stare at it long enough and you’ll feel like you’re having a bad drug experience,
that’s for sure.
4.
Broken limbs (oh my) This limb glitch, posted by a youtuber called
space, features some gameplay of fortnite in which one of their squad members experiences
a horrifying glitch, that if it were in real life, could fit into a body horror tale for
sure.
The glitch causes the other player’s avatar’s limbs to go all wonky, making it appear that
they’ve got broken legs and arms.
When they try to walk, it’s even scarier – they’re broken limbs prevent them from
being able to move much at first, but eventually, the player starts running around, and their
leg just goes flying throughout the air like they’re some kind of rag doll.
Eventually, when they pass through the boundary of the story, they’re character returns
back to normal.
3.
Rickity Runner in the ground Here’s one that’s utterly terrifying.
Taking place at Polar Peak, this one player noticed what appeared to be a one eyed monster
poking its way through the ground.
Turns out it’s just the rickety runner penguin glider – you can see part of its beak popping
through the ground, along with part of the glider itself, but upon first glance, it looks
like a creature is trapped under the cement, looking around for a way out.
Definitely not a glitch you’d want to spot out of the corner of your eye late at night.
But at least once you realize what it is, it makes for a good chuckle.
2.
Banning Swingers Back in 2017, there was an obnoxious glitch
that caused players to be banned – if they jumped on a swing set mid game, they would
be banned.
This was thanks to a glitch with Epic’s cheat detection in the game.
So as you can imagine, there were a whole lot of people upset about this.
Epic Games sent out an email to some that read – Important note- we are aware of a
false positive with our cheat detection that we are looking into.
Clearly this is something that should never happen!
The current repro is related to swing sets on the map.
Please avoid swing sets as you play.
We have cleared all bans applied to swing set impacted users.
Apparently it took a little while for all users to be cleared of their bans though,
with players taking to forums and reddit to complain.
To be fair, imagine if that was you – it’d suck big time.
I’d be pissed too.
1.
The Singing Ghost girl Some players noticed throughout parts of the
map in the Save the World mode, particularly in the woods of Stonewood, you could hear
a girl singing in the woods.
It seemed to be directional at first, but when players followed the noise, they began
to hear her laugh instead, and kept changing its direction.
One player claims that when he gave up, she began to cry.
This has actually spawned a handful of Fortnite creepypastas, some of which contain the spooky
source of the laughter haunting players outside of the game.
Many have chalked this up to creepy ambience.
There we have it friends!
