Epic Games’ free to play game Fortnite has taken the gaming world by storm. It is among the most popularly played games in 2018 with versions in just about every platform. Millions upon millions of gamers have experienced this game at least once. Some might have experienced the co-op campaign mode Save the World, but the main popularity of this game resides in the 100 player Battle Royale mode. Many play to try and be the last ma𒀰n, woman, or team standing, while others play for the random shenanigans that can occur on the island.

Of course, with a game that receives constant updates like Fortnite comes a lot of changes to how it can be played. There are many opinions, strategies, and myths that have come and gone throughout the different seasons. There are things that you can do and cannot do that can be misunderstood by many who play. Some of these myths stem from speculation and exploiting glitches, others from simply misunderstanding how certain gameplay elements work. Do different skins allow for different hitboxes? Is it possible to get back to the spawn island after leaving the battle bus? Let’s get into mythbusting mode and talk about 25 simple facts that many players get wrong about Fortnite Battle Royale.

22 💯 ꩲ The Pickaxe CAN Deflect Bullets

Here is one factual detail that went unnoticed until posted a video that shows him 🐷sniping another player at Loot Lake. The unsuspecting target was simply harvesting building materials when BAM! A sniper shot was aimed perfec𒉰tly at him.

However, as the target was swinging his pickaxe, the bullet actually reflected back in the direction of the sniper.

At first, it was hard to believe that the game would have that kind of detail in its physics, but there have been other instances where odd deflections happen. Fo👍r example, there was a video of a p🐭layer who’s bullets from an assault rifle actually deflected an oncoming grenade.

21 Shooting Throug꧂h The Gaps Of Wooden Forts Does No Good ꦏ

A common myth within Fortnite is the idea that you can shoot through the small gaps of wooden structures and walls used to build forts. Looking at b🤪rick walls and steel-made walls, there are no gaps whatsoever. Wooden walls however have a bit of space available that it might give the player the idea of aiming down and giving you a good opportunity to fire with plenty of cover. It turns out that this doesn’t work at all. Aiming down a small hole will only cause damage to the structure and possibly leave you wide open. If you want to have a nice window to aim from you’re going to have to edit your own walls.

20 Getting To The Spawn Island Actua🙈lly Is Possible, With A Price

When you first log in and jump into a match, you’꧋ll likely be spawned on a remote island where you can explore until the match is ready to begin. Fans wondered if you could still make your way back to the iꦰsland after the start of a match. Originally it wasn’t possible at first.

With the recent inclusion of shopping carts, it actually is possible to pull it off.

All you have to do is gather a lot (and I mean a lot) of materials, build an elevating bridge near Flush Factory and r🌱ide a cart down a ramp toward the island. Then you would trigger a glitch that should carry you to the island. There isn’t anything noteworthy to find but many of the weapons and ammo are still there available to be picked up. Keep in mind though that if yo𒆙u want to try this, you will get caught up in the storm and it will be near impossible to get back before the storm takes you out.

19 𓆏 Giant Purple Cube Does Not Protect You From Fall Damage

Very recently a giant purple cube has been spotted in Fortnite Battle Royale. When you go up to the cube and make contact🐈 with it, it will send you backward, similar to the impact of a shockwave grenade or a bounce pad. This will lead many players into thinking it can bꦅe used similarly.

However, unlike the previously mentioned items, getting bounced by the cube will not protect you fro♛m fall damage. So if you run into this thing while there is a lot of space behind you it’s going to do some damage to you because the cube will send you far and fast.

With that said there are times where the cube will pop𓆉 up in other areas and create a strange purple barrier that will distort gravity. Every jump will float a bit higher and come down a bi💙t slower, in that situation you won’t have to worry about fall damage.

18 Finding All Three Supply Llamas Means You Are Very Lucky, And That’s It ൩

Finding a supply llama can be a pain. In each match, there will only be three llamas that will spawn literally anywhere in the entire map. It could take a very long time and many matches to find simply one of them, but if you find one, they will provide many high-ꦅquality items for you. But what happens when Lady Luck gives a great big smile towards you and you find all three in one match? Some fans believed that you could receive a nice item for your lucky streak.

If you find three supply llamas in one match, you were an extremely lucky person, nothing more.

The idea of finding all three is absolutely ludicrous, but it actually has been done before. There are a few YouTubers who ha𓆉ve found three while recording, but as you can guess, nothing special happens nor do they receive anything afterwa𝕴rd.

17 Mini-Guns Are Not Useless 🤪 ♛

Among the items that can be obtained in Fortnite are heavy weapons known as Mini-guns. Th👍ese weapons are among the rarest types of items that can be found. While they may look like a powerful compact Gatling gun, it actually does very little damage to opponents as well as being terribly inaccurate. So why on earth would you use them?

Many players have cast these items off as useless. However, there actually is quite a good use for theꦯse items. Mini-guns are very useful in destroying buildings and forts. While each shot is weak, it fires at a very rapid pace, plus you don’t have to worry about ಞreloading. This will give you the advantage of tearing down a well made fort before it can even be built.

16 🍷 There Isn’t Any Way For You To Ch🎉eat The Storm

Fortnite’s intimidating purple storm is one of the unique features of the entire game and the main reason why a 100-man battle royale mode is doable (otherwise it would take forever to do one match). If you get caught up in the storm your health will slowly drain away, but what if you could possibly u🌳se this toward your advantage late in a solo match where the safe zone is very small? Maybe if you stock up on plenty of recovery items it will allow you to spend quite some time in the storm?

Well no, that won’t work at all. The storm will get increasingly powerful over time so if you are caught up in it the damage dealt will gradually multiply, making healing items practically useless. Besides, trying to last in the storm really destroys the purpose of Battle Royale.

15 🌠 One-Shield Glitch Does Not Grant You♐ An Unbreakable Shield

A few months ago, players believed there was a glitch that could grant you an unbreakable shield, thus allowing you to not take any damage. If you were to take on a lot of damage to the point your shield would get broken, your display may still show just one shield point and not go away. This does not mean that your health is protected. Instead, it is actually a visual glitch♛ that still displays the damage number as blue.

This also worked in revers💟e if you were dealing damage to others and their damage total would still appear blue. Don’t worry because you are still doing normal damage to people. Of course, t⭕his was something that was occurring a few months ago and should be patched up by Epic Games by now.

14 ও There Is No Way To Shorten Your Gliding Descent

A popular tactic is trying to land on the ground as soon as possibl🍷e when leaving the Battle Bus. Those that do can find weapons and treasure chests before others and possibly put slower players in a tough position of not having any weapons, or materials to defend themselves. Players often wonder if there is any way to cheat the gliding part of the descent.

There really▨ isn’t any way one can get to the ground quicker other than nose-diving as soon as you get out, but the glider will still slow you down. The glider will always come out at a set distance from the ground. The closest thing you can do to take advantage of that is to aim at a lower🌟 level surface, but when the glider comes out, fly over to the top of a mountain and hope there are good items available.

13 ൩ Supply Llamas Are💝n’t Completely Randomized

As covered earlier, supply llamas are rare and hard to find. You can go an entire season and only see maybe a few of them. While it is true that a supply llama could literally be anywhere, it isn’t necessarily completely random as some players may believe. Various users have gathered data of where suওpply llamas typically drop. It is determined that they are most common in mountainous areas and areas near the river.
