Fortnite's Season OG Unleashes Miniature Mayhem: Cheaters Exploit Ant-Sized Glitch in Epic Island Battles

Fortnite's Season OG has drawn millions of players back to the original Island, but reports are surfacing about a new visual glitch that's causing cheaters to appear minuscule in the game. Players are sharing their experiences online, highlighting the exploitation of this glitch, which bears a striking resemblance to a previous issue in Fortnite's history.

Since its 2017 launch, Fortnite has evolved into a widely popular multiplayer title, benefiting from its free-to-play model and cross-platform compatibility. The battle royale mode quickly amassed a massive fanbase, somewhat overshadowing the original Save the World game mode. Epic Games focused on optimizing the battle royale experience, bringing the latest season back to Fortnite's roots in Chapter 1. However, this nostalgic return seems to have introduced some unwelcome issues to the Island.

Like any live-service multiplayer game, Fortnite encounters its share of gameplay issues, and Season OG brings forth a visual glitch. Reddit is buzzing with players sharing encounters where opponents exploit a glitch, rendering their characters nearly ant-sized and practically invisible. User valetoBG008 documented such an encounter, promptly reporting the incident and leading to the ban of the anonymous cheater.

Determining the persistence of this visual glitch becomes challenging, especially with anticipated changes to the Fortnite map. However, multiple players have reported similar experiences. Exploiting in-game glitches raises ethical concerns, and user ArenaGrinder succinctly captures the sentiment: "If it's a glitch, it can be considered an exploit, which can also result in a ban." Intriguingly, this ant-sized bug has afflicted Fortnite in the past, with various YouTube videos showcasing different manifestations of the glitch.

The ant-sized visual anomaly isn't the sole issue emerging from Fortnite's Season OG. Additional reported glitches include invisible players, Princess Lexa's skirt displaying incorrectly, random teleportation, and more.

While Season OG shattered player count records, the game still grapples with issues. Players encountering these ant-sized anomalies are encouraged to report them. The Fortnite Status Twitter account offers updates on reported issues, although there is no mention of ant-sized players in the current communication.
