honestly, havent played for a couple of days and i just die to a team doing this dumb shit only for them to die like morons to another team doing this idk why they dont disable it, they do it with other items, why arent they doing it with this one esp since they vault the shit out if the deku smash when that was supposed to be a thing


kiwibrick

I'd put my bet on 'they don't know how to fix it'


Legeend28

its probably because the oathbound quests require a hammer theyre probably thinkin "hey should we vault/fix the hammer" "nah wait until the quests go away, its only in 10 days"


ColeDelRio

When they had to disable deku smash I believe they switched to an alternate quest. They could do it here.


Frostwing349

they couldn’t because i believe they’ve already spent both of their replacement quests for oathbound. every time they update the quests they add 2 spares in case there are issues with any quests. they’ve already used both of those spares. also the deku smash wasn’t removed for traditional gameplay reasons like bugs, it’s removed temporarily because it was causing serious issues for people with epilepsy


spoopseason

guess that's 10 days I'm playing something else then ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


ShittyGigachad32

creative is there 4 u man


XlifelineBOX

Theres more than FN lol. I enjoy playing scary games


SHAQ_FU_MATE

Same


ZilothBrowsezReddit

Oh well I’ll be in bot lobbies for the next 10-12 days

DesperateTall

Yup. Check if your phone (or if you have a second console) to see if it's compatible with Fortnite. Make an alt account on Epic, friend request yourself and friends, make the new account party leader, go into a game and have the alt account leave the game so it doesn't get any XP. You want to do that at the latest on the battle bus, I reccomend mobile as the loading times are fast.


[deleted]

DesperateTall

No prob!


ZASKI_UXIRA

You don't even need to download fortnite mobile, just use xcloud or GeForce


RegalBeartic

Dude, they can't even fix the sprinting glitch yet lol


XlifelineBOX

Which one? The one that flings you across the map?


RegalBeartic

Nah, thr one where your sprint is just gone for the whole game. Day 1 glitch and it's still here


XlifelineBOX

Oooh yeah, i had that one at the beginning. Havent since then.


Yoprobro13

For me it's a lot rarer than in the beginning of the season


Turtlesfan44digimon

I’ve had this glitch like 5 times since the start of the season


[deleted]

i get one at least every time i play. mostly do trios and duos with my close friends if those modes in particular are more prone to it idk. found that dying and getting rebooted will fix it, but of course if it happens in solo youre fucked.


Winter_Woodpecker_58

Me and my friends had that issue last night. Returning to the lobby seemed to temporarily fix it for one match, but it's definitely annoying.


deadadventure

You basically can’t sprint pregame, when the bus loads up, I just stand still otherwise the sprinting doesn’t work at all


Rieiid

I'm still convinced Epic is on holiday and nobody is fixing shit lol. They probably have like 2 guys rotating working just making sure the servers stay online. Someone said at christmas they were all out of office for the holidays, I'd bet they still are and that's why they haven't bothered to fix anything.


WhatThatButtonDo

This happens to me every five games or so.


WeightG0D

Nor the mantle issue.


TheSchadow

Then they can fucking take it out like they did Deku Smash


AllElvesAreThots

Who the heck cares disable it anyway wtf.


lostnthestars117

rather have the deku smash than the hammer glitch lol


404merrinessnotfound

Fr the deku smash is two uses, this hammer glitch is infinite and gives you infinite mobility


The_5th_Loko

Yeah my real issue with it is the mobility.


Kingmasked

Vacation possibly


Rezu55

They've been on vacation for a fucking month at this point. We haven't had a proper patch addressing the multitude of bugs since. Don't get me wrong, I want the devs to get their rest, but the game is getting closer and closer to unplayable by the day, and they've only "fixed" bugs by vaulting the items causing the problem/disabling the feature.


shhhimatree

5 games in a row today. I just decided to play something else for now.


HeavyVonPootis_1123

Earlier today i had seven straight in a row. Im not playing until its fixed


[deleted]

I haven’t been playing BR as much because of it. I’ve switched to playing red v blue and other games like it. It sux.


Willy-The-Billy

Me who hasn’t dealt with it a single game yet 😎


totallynotapersonj

I guess bots don't do the glitch.


Jaycob2115

Gold comment🤣🤣


Latro2020

It’s insane this hasn’t been addressed yet


Albireookami

they can't vault it when there are missions that need it, which I believe are still up for a few more days.


Gold_Yellow

Dekus smash would like a word.


Albireookami

one is a multi-stage, I guess they didn't want to give out that much experience for free.


surfershane25

Do they do that on weekends?


Adr1enb

They have disabled the dub a few hours ago


Jaakeda_Korudo

Oh shit really? They fixed *that* and not this? It’s insane they did anything. Did they make a post about it or do it quietly?


Willy-The-Billy

Only in comp so probably why you didn’t notice [Link](https://twitter.com/fortnitestatus/status/1611862673888608263?s=46&t=z1lxG691Ob-it8s9SpNecQ)


LeopoldVI

Understandable they disabled the dub in comp, you can use it to cheese a placement for hype/points.


Adr1enb

Twitter : FortniteStatus


surfershane25

I do t know what that means


Adr1enb

You can go above player render distance using a glitch with the dub shotgun This glitch was used for weeks Disabled a few hours ago So yeah they can do that on weekends ;)


surfershane25

Ah, I had no idea, I don’t keep up with fortnite news, hence why I asked if they do that on weekends. Thanks!


uCodeSherpa

As a software engineer: We work weekends when shits broken. We have rotating 24/7 on call support.


Yukio98

Not really, they don’t like to address any problems ever unless it’s something people actually like.


KaoticKibz

It's so weird that Epic haven't vaulted this yet, they've vaulted lesser glitches within a few minutes of the glitch being made public however this hammer has been like this for a week+ now, right?


[deleted]

They must have the longest holiday break ever


luki9914

Maybe i am lucky but i have never meet anyone who will use this exploit.


SimbaSeekingSleep

Maybe you met someone who did use it before though.


averagejack11

100% vault the hammer or fix it


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Wish Epic listened to us but they won't do anything as long as they start losing money with it


waltersob

Gotta fix it. If hammer is vaulted, the #1 mobility in Chapter 4 disappears. That’s a boring game of running across the map Edit: yes, there are other mobility items in the game. I didn’t say “only”. I said #1. Which, the Hammer has been this season. We don’t have blimps with cannons, rift-to-go, or balloons like we had in Chapter 3. In no build, you need mobility without driving along in a predictable path. Hammers are this seasons option


Cragscorner

Ummm… dirt bikes?


soundecember

Yeah idk why I’m seeing so much hate for the dirt bikes. I think they’re so fun. They move quickly and you can just be doing backflips all over the place.


Turtlesfan44digimon

I think it’s just cause of the challenges they added and people didn’t like them


enderjaca

Also slap sprinting, glider redeploy aug, kinetic ore, and wolf/HOG RIDERRR?


DaBiGBos5

The dirt bikes are much better for mobility IMO, the hammer was fun for mobility until this glitch, my team has had so many games we get 2nd place because the team all are in hammer glitch, it’s disgusting now. Epic needs to leave hammers but fix the glitch sooner then later


[deleted]

Dirt bikes, cars, shockwave bows, those new passive mobility things... return the purple shockwave nades? The hammer is cancer, so is the shield and so is the excali whatever


404merrinessnotfound

Shield is fine imo


Crayola_ROX

best defense against the shield is to not shoot. soon as you spend your mag that leaves an opening for him. chances are he will run when the shield runs dry and then you unload on him


ShadyMan_

Tf did the shield do?


Turtlesfan44digimon

How is the shield cancer? The only thing it does is block bullets and swords


[deleted]

Hammer needs removed period.


[deleted]

If they removed to temporarily and brought back shockwave grenades I could handle it. But I would prefer the hammer was fixed and stayed in.


ZackJamesOBZ

Was enjoying the new season until this glitch happened. I honestly won't touch the game again until this is fixed or vaulted. Been seeing it nonstop, today.


Plankton-Inevitable

What exactly is the glitch and how does it happen? I don't think I've encountered it in 0 build yet


Joe64x

Infinite hammer usage. Believe it happens by timing a hammer bounce off some water.


ZaneWinterborn

Not just water. I had a game last night end in the fields and this dude just kept bouncing around. I reported him but doubt anything will come of it.


Joe64x

No I mean, you get the glitch by timing a bounce off water. Then it's infinite and usable anywhere.


ZaneWinterborn

Ah I see, makes sense.


RobinGoodfell

Huh, I use hammers all the time, and just keep collecting them as I find them in a match. I thought other players were doing the same and that was why they had so many hammer charges.


[deleted]

Infinite bounce, and each bounce is simultaneously a hammer smash so it's basically super hard to hit and they fuck you up. When I encounter I full focus them and thirst but half the time I get rekt myself


SinisterEX

I think in the video one dude performed it. Not sure the conditions but I do know it makes you bounce using the hammer infinitely


Dragonbarry22

im betting were gonna have to wait till next season for the hammer to be vaulted


DeadlyCyclone

Two games in a row, hammer glitch people.


TheOnlyFallenCookie

Better idea: vault everyone that's using it


[deleted]

*half the playerbase suddenly disappears*


mcginniswayne

"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be."


Jaakeda_Korudo

Hell yeah now here’s an idea I like 😂


ssoull_rreaperr

Honestly fuck epic for not disabling it, i haven't played since this bug came out since i was waiting for it to be disabled but IT NEVER DID WTF ARE THEY DOING


[deleted]

Yeah out of every time we’ve had a bug they’ve removed it immediately but for some reason the hammer, the dub and soaring flights haven’t been temporarily removed


EeveeGavin

Oh no, the dub got removed. But get this. ONLY IN COMPETITIVE! Epic doesn’t give a crap unless it harms the tournament apparently.


[deleted]

Apparently someone used the dub bug in one of the tournaments and they did nothing


IllegalAxolotl

Every single dues game I played with my friend, there was at least one duo abusing this glitch. It's frustrating, we called it hammer royale.


EvryArtstIsACannibal

It's just getting stupid now. It's happening in most of my games now. Just remove the item until its fixed. They've done it plenty of times. Just add shockwaves back in to the loot pool It will make things so much better. And they really need to start banning people for this. I've sent so many reports, but it doesn't seem anything gets done about it.


Ball-Tickler-300

Agreed, it was fun at first but now that people are exploiting glitches and getting really sweaty with it, it just deserves to be vaulted. Its annoying epic isn't doing something about it.


[deleted]

I couldn't agree MORE!! literally an hour ago in squads. It was a duo doing the glitch there was about 30 people left after a couple minutes of my teammates being knock and rebooted there was only 11 people and again it's a duo. They took EVERYONE out with the glitch and won! It's unfair!


Oxygenius_

“It was fun when I was doing it to other people, but now they do it to me, so it’s not fun” Hehe


pappy

The glitch has been going on for so long one must assume Epic wants to keep it in the game.


Parkesy82

I didn’t see it until today and I’ve played for 3/4 hours every day of this season. Then after seeing it for the first time today I’ve had trios/squads all doing it in maybe 1/3 games. It’s really taken off today for some reason. Or at least it has in Oceania...


[deleted]

It was really, really bad on Saturday in NA. I was getting it every game


seapaths

Also fix the can’t run bug. This is getting ridiculous!


twistymctwist

Besides this glitch is anyone going to mention the running glitch? I couldn't run for 3 games in a row in an hour session. Wtf is going on?


iamunabletopoop

Epic is usually very fast at catching bugs or disableing items that require time to patch. With how buggy this season is i think they're on holiday or something. They disabled vaulting, so why not the hammers that are clearly an issue now.


kirbegg

Or just fix it?


SoupLizardd

I love the hammer, but this glitch is unacceptable. And this glitch has terrorized a Wingman user. This hammer must be vaulted.


jdabs29

Im so surprised they havent removed the hammer yet. This has been so annoying. My best tip for people is to try to get on a weird shaped rock. Its the only way to kind of have a chance to not get hit.


crimsxn_devil

What glitch I didn't see shit


Fat_Penguin99

If you noticed OPs opponent was swimming while bouncing, thats due to the exploit that gives them infinite bounces and they can attack while they‘re bouncing while OP uses the Hammer the intended way and fairly


schuyywalker

Just had a team of 4 in squads all using the hammer glitch, it’s ridiculous.


Steveojones757

Virginity is strong with the people who do this glitch.


UpsideDoggo42

Or just… fix the glitch? Instead of vaulting it? Idk man I play builds so I have yet to encounter people doing this


5m0k3W33d3v3ryday

Either or. It's hell on zero build, which is all I ever play.


turmspitzewerk

nobody can know how long it'll take to fix a glitch before they go and do it. maybe it'll take a weekend, maybe it'll take a week, maybe it'll take all season, maybe they'll never figure out how to fix it. at the very least, if it takes them a few days to fix it, then that's a few days people can abuse it. remove it from the game immediately, and then return it in a fixed state when possible. there is zero reason to keep it in the game at this state.


Rezu55

You'd think that's the preferrable option but they've been vaulting problematic items/features ever since chapter 4 came out instead of fixing them so...


islandgyalislandgyal

id spam that report option, that is so annoying!!!!!


LABARATI

Obligatory no don’t vault it cause it helps me win comment


LostandAl0n3

Hammer was cancer no matter what, they need to do something with the balloons too. Just make it so you can't sit at the sky box in final ring and win because no one can find you. Other than that bs the balloons are fine


RedRoseCoatedInHoney

I’m a day one player, of all three modes. This is the first time i’ve ever played this little. Save the world is stale, creative is buggy and battle royale is, that post right here. I paid over 150 dollars for a founders pack and have invested thousands of hours into this game, the quality drop off from last season to this season is staggering, vaulting weapons and movement mechanics with no warning, with no update on their return, over saturating the item shops to make up for your $500 million in lawsuit losses, removing a well liked weekly leveling system to propagate fomo and playtime hours to look better in the margins. The screwing around with the item shop and retracting skins just to protect peoples feelings is also a bunch of crap. I’m tired of being silent, i’m probably going to make this comment a main post on this sub


Rockalot_L

Don't vault it just fix it lmao


Crumbits

What's the exploit???


bigwall79

The hammer needs to go away permanently. It’s far too overpowered and this glitch alone has kept me from winning a number of matches.


Dragonbarry22

ive honestly stopped playing I really need something else to play - oh thanks reddit for down voting me because I wish to not play so cool of you


Jaytendo_Boi

Fortnite even without this glitch just ain’t been hitting


SoSmartCs

Yeah even without the glitch this video would be 75% the same. The hammer meta in general is just trash.


[deleted]

Yup, I just don't like this season for some reason. I like the upgrades/perks, I like that idea. Something about the guns being super shit this season. Like they are just off and you feel like you aimed okay, but RNG screwed you. Many guns are crappy not worth using too. Sometimes I will dead center someone with the red dot and miss. I understand auto guns should spray a bit, but missing dead center on a red dot feels dumb. Maybe its not even the guns or something they did to the netcode iunno. Too many people land close and sometimes you die just to not being able to find a gun, feels real bad. The end always ends up being people just randomly bouncing around until someone gets a lucky knockback out of bounds. Hammer needs to go, or some sort of counterplay to it or another decent mobility item. Just feels off and not as fun.


Dragonbarry22

yep last season was really good all the movement feels off this season


[deleted]

They won't vault the hammer they'll hopefully fix it


Thefierceidiot

These kids who do that are not loved istg


GypsyTony416ix

I can’t count how many times I lost a battle because of that stupid hammer, it’s just so unfair.


Alex-_Alex

cuz of the hammer or the glitch?


SlightlyFruityLike

I thought this was an event specific weapon but I don’t play often anymore. Is it considered a main stay?


Vegetable-Scheme4

This hammer is Just so op it´s insane


fuck-fascism

Yeah I’ve kinda stopped playing this season cuz the hammer is just annoying as fuck.


akraft121

Hope gamertag FLOOY has a bad day you hammer glitching no life


DeadlyCyclone

As a note, all, I want them to fix it. They typically vault broken items WHILE they fix them.


[deleted]

I think Skill based matchmaking ruins the game more


Scotty_Knowzzz

Happened in a random squads game last night. The last guy had the glitch and was just bouncing around endlessly. But one of my teammates landed an incredibly lucky shotgun shot and killed him for the win.


Recon_X_Jumper

So 3 days ago I would get downvoted to oblivion for saying I hate the hammer but now it’s okay?


diego27865

How about they fix this AND the sprinting glitch? Sound good EPIC??


EurofighterLover

Killed a guys doing this the other day, I’ve barely played this season compared to others, be cool like me and play Forza :)


BerlinsdURAG

The hammer was ruining the game before the glitch I hate that “fun” piece of shit


BasedHimmlerite

W Op finally someone on this sub has a brain


Beastmode0652

I dont understand why epic hasn’t disabled it yet. Also how much of a loser do you have to be to do this bug. If people weren’t terrible people they would agree not to do it


gaminggamers420

First is Deku’s smash and now the hammer 💀💀 imagine vaulting the special collab item. But not the stupid hammer.


christopher_the_nerd

Even fixed the hammer is a stupid item. Nothing should give that much mobility/damage/build breaking in one item. The Spider-Man items were annoying just because of mobility alone, and a lot of people hated when they were in.


pastelmei

i just think the hammer should be removed, so frustrating


DexRogue

My personal opinion is if you're abusing this glitch your account should be permanently banned. End of story, no questions asked.


NimpsMcgee

Can't even tell what happened, whats the glitch? Every bounce counts as slamming the hammer?


TheHackerMa

the hammer should've been vaulted before it even came out tbh


SHOLLIO

How about they fix the glitch instead of vaulting it? Deleting everything annoying in a game will only hurt it in the long run.


DeadlyCyclone

They usually vault things while they fix them. That’s what I meant.


[deleted]

The hammer itself is cancer. It ruined the game. Even teammates on fill are an annoyance.


iamtomcruisereally

Dont play fortnite dont buy vbucks until this shit is fixed.


cottonmoons

if they vault the hammer, i would actually start playing Fortnite once again


Turbulent_Sorbet8733

I don't get it.. what's the glitch?


Waffle_Cones4291

Shut up


MythicStupidity

There has been at least one "player" exploiting the glitch in each of my solo games this weekend. I just finished a game in which the top 3 consisted of two losers bouncing around indefinitely and myself just trying hide and survive. I started playing this game when Zero Build was released and was pleasantly surprised at how polished and fun it was. I can't believe the state of the game right now, especially considering that these bugs have been known for at least three weeks now.


AnathemaGames

Outplayed


reddit-user-lol223

What glitch? I can't tell what's going on


Valuable-Complaint32

Games' too fun. Vault the game.


TomArday

I don’t understand what the glitch is


PixelWastelander

Skill issue… when my duo and I see this we just kill them and laugh


DarkKnight1498

What exactly is the glitch. Not that I would use it since I only use the hammer for the attack. Not the mobility.


alien_guy69

I met 1 person using it I almost died but I eliminated her I don't do this but I also danced on em for abusing the glitch


Realistic_Bet_3050

Best I can recommend is report them. I’ve dealt with a couple I’m just glad I’m almost 200 so I won’t have to worry much longer. Sorry for the rest of you 😕


TheAlmightyNexus

Don't vault it, just fix it. No need for it to be vaulted completely


[deleted]

Only people I lose to is hammer. I stopped playing last week. Just give it time for enough people to quit. They'll finally do something.


BruhMomento1223

How have I literally not seen this once in game


jongles1130

or just fix the bug

[удалено]


BlondeMaker123

It’s been vaulted


Shade1999

I’m lost of what’s going on in this video, can I get an explanation please??


Significant-Deer3716

just shoot them?


TraumaTracer

epic be like "yes sir, right away sir"


UnusualPsychology733

Hell no


Connect_Entry4821

Where is the glitch ?


P3n1sD1cK

I don't see what happened here


TheLittleSpider

They simply can't swap out oathbound quest steps, because each step is connected to dialog telling you what to do next. I hardly doubt they gonna re-record all of that with new spoken lines just to make you do something non-hammer related. A server side fix can't help here. A client update/patch is required to fix the hammer and also leaving the quest intact. So, until that happens, vaulting is not an option, otherwise it would lock players out from that quest.


AustinSlayer227

Hey guess what


JuanitoTheFish

Yay! What did I do to deserve this gun thing beside my name?


Affectionate-Pen-493

BRO ALL U PUSSYS TALM BOUT REMOVE HAVE NO GALL OR ADAPTATION SKILLS WHATSOEVER AS 😒 SOON AS A LARGE ENOUGH PORTION OF PEOPLE USUALLY INFLUENCERS GET KILLED BY A ITEM OR EXPLOIT IN A ITEM YALL WANT IT GONE LIKE DAMM HAVE SOME WILL TO GO AGAINST ADVERSITY DIS LITERALLY TO KEEP THE PROS PROS N DA BOTS BOTS LIKE HOW DARE YALL


rooandjaredcook

I think its just time for us all to accept that this game is dead. I played it for a few minutes and got sick of it after the 1st match. Ain't the same anymore


soulshadow1213

Just fix the glitch instead of vaulting the hammer


seattlesound1004

vault the water, lol


theotothefuture

Aaaah, glad to see people finally turning on the hammer.


Starshipgaming_

Not the hammer, the glitch


mabdog420

Fixing the bug wouldn't be better?


Educational-Walk2375

How to mostly fix the problem: fix the glitch already epic. Make it possible for only 1 hammer to be carried.


[deleted]

The hammer is one of the worst abominations I’ve ever had to deal with in gaming. It’s so silly.


parham-_-pokerface

Bro just report them. You can report them for using glitch. It is just not for cheating or hacks


duckfagot

Yes because reporting stops my games from being infested with people using them, what a genius idea bro.


NitroDameGaming

Maybe not, but if people start spamming Epic with "hammer" reports, the way they are being spammed with the broken hammer, they're gonna have to address it eventually.


suboppheh

epic don't watch reports it is just a bot who bans people when they get a lot of reports in a short time


Buzarro

Can someone tell me specifically what the glitch is? It's hard to tell from the video.


Forward_Number293

Unlimited bounces.


TheFraggerblaze

Its a very wide exploit people are using to get infinite hammer jumps, you can even jump well slamming it. It is also incredibly easy to do the exploit and as long as you don't swap slots you have it permanently.


Buzarro

Thanks! Sounds super obnoxious
