Since the glitch was discovered following the update to v23.30, which occurred on January 31, 2023, players and content creators have been actively and openly using it.

As of now, there have been no reports of anyone being banned for using this glitch. Speaking of which, nothing has been added to the official Trello Board as well that pertains to the 'glitch' being fixed.

What is the "first person mode glitch" in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 1?

In short, the "first-person mode glitch" is simply the ability to use the unfinished version of the upcoming first-person mode in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 1. Given that this new camera angle will only be activated in Chapter 4, Season 2, those who can access it now are doing so via a minor in-game glitch.

The glitch is exclusive, as players need access to the Save The World mode (paid) to activate it. Furthermore, this glitch doesn't seem to work in the normal Battle Royale mode. It can only be activated in Team Rumble and Creative Mode. With that said, here are the steps needed to activate it:

• Start Fortnite and go to the Save The World mode
• Open the "Settings" option and look for 'Extra Game Options"
• Find the 'First-Person Camera" option and toggle "On" to activate the glitch
• Once done, go back to Team Rumble mode and try it out.

Remember, a few things do not work as intended since this feature is unfinished. For instance, certain weapons do not have a first-person perspective, the camera zooms in and out while Sprinting, and users can become invisible when using a DMR. Here are a few in-game screenshots showcasing the bugs:

1) Gliding/Diving animations are broken

After switching to the 'glitched' first-person mode, the animations associated with diving/gliding are broken when players jump off the Battle Bus. They do not reset even after the player redeploys during the match.

2) When sprinting, the camera zooms in too much

When Sprinting with the first-person mode camera is activated, players will only see the backside of their character in-game. This severely limits the field of view and makes it nearly impossible to see what's directly in front of the character.

3) Aiming down sight (ADS) with DMR results in the weapon disappearing

The first-person mode works like a charm when aiming down sight with an AR or Pistol. However, when using a DMR, the weapon disappears, and all that can be seen is the scope itself.

4) User's character model becomes invisible after ADS-ing with the DMR

After switching to another weapon or item, the character model will remain invisible for the duration of the match. Keep in mind that this will yield no in-game advantage, as opponents will still be able to see the player's character model. If anything, it just provides users with a false sense of security.

Should you use First person mode glitch in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 1?

Yes, if you own Save The World, it's worth trying out this feature. Despite the first-person mode being "glitched," it is fun to use, at least for a match or two. Players will get to experience a fresh new perspective in-game.

Now, for those waiting for the proper first-person mode in-game, Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2 is just around the corner. This new feature should be rolled out in just over a month once the update v24.00 goes live on March 10/11, 2023.

That being said, since this is a new feature, there is a slight possibility of bugs being present on the launch date. Nevertheless, Epic Games will doubtlessly quash them as soon as they are discovered.
