- Some Fortnite players encounter issues with the Falcon Eye Sniper when aiming down the scope.
- One fan using a Ghost Rider skin couldn't see anything but flames through the weapon's scope.
- Some players reported that aiming with the rifle made their character go bald.
Many Fortnite players believe the Falcon Eye Sniper weapon in Chapter 6 Season 2 may be bugged after experiencing several issues while aiming through the weapon's scope. Fortnite recently closed out Chapter 6 Season 1 of the popular battle royale, which introduced a whole new map and a revamped movement system to the game.
So far, Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite has been a hit with many fans. Players have been given the opportunity to explore several new locations and try out fresh weapons that have never been in the game before. The new season has also introduced armored trucks that spawn randomly on the map. Players can break into these vehicles if they manage to pull off a heist. Once the vehicle is disabled and the door is open, gamers can claim useful items, gold, and weapons, like a legendary version of the Falcon Eye Sniper.
Fortnite Leak Reveals Major New Game Feature
A popular Fortnite leaker reveals that a major new feature could be coming to Epic Games' popular battle royale in Chapter 6 Season 2.
In a recent post on Reddit, broxhachoman pointed out that they couldn't aim down the scope of the Falcon Eye Sniper in Fortnite with their Ghost Rider skin because all it showed was the flames from the character's head. Some players immediately commented that the cosmetic was "pay-to-lose," but then others claimed to have had similar issues with other outfits. One fan pointed out that they experienced it with the Nyanja skin that has glowing eyes. It's a major issue for players using those skins, as it prevents them from taking advantage of the long-range weapon.
Fortnite Players Think the Falcon Eye Sniper Is Bugged
Several gamers also claimed to have seen a bug where aiming down the scope made their character bald. Players stated that this unusual glitch happened while using Johnny Silverhand, Catwoman, and Hatsune Miku in Fortnite. However, the bug seems to be inconsistent, as other players reported that they regularly use those skins and have never experienced a problem. It's likely that the potential issue may be happening with even more skins, but there's no way of knowing just how many. While the bug doesn't impact a player's performance in a negative way, some people are annoyed nonetheless. Several fans said they're hoping to see a hotfix for the issue soon, but there has been no word from Epic Games on the issue.
Many gamers are enjoying Fortnite's newly added weapons, especially the Kneecapper, which seems to have replaced the Typhoon Blade from Chapter 6 Season 1. Some players have been posting clips on social media of them knocking enemies off mountains and into the storm in order to claim a victory. With so many fresh weapons in the game and even more on the way, a lot of fans are optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
