Fortnite's Shopping Carts Repeatedly Removed Due to Cheating Glitch
How did you get down there?
If you've wondered why Fortnite's shopping carts keep getting removed by developer Epic Games, you may need to look under the island.
After Epic Games announced on Wednesday that the game's first vehicles were being pulled again, it began to gradually emerge that shopping carts were allowing some wily players access to an area of the map that others did not have. Over the past few weeks tutorials have popped up on YouTube that show players exactly how they can glitch below the map, using the shopping cart as a key.
Essentially, all it takes is for players to grab a shopping cart, hop in, and then build a pyramid structure above them. That pushes them below the map, where it appears they can shoot and affect others, while remaining safely underground.
