Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 exploit due to rendering issue

A Fortnite gamer recently took to social media to address the exploit in Chapter 3 Season 2. In Reddit, the gamer who goes by the name radioactivejason2004 released a gameplay clipping. The short clip revealed that the gamer was constantly attacked, hit, and ultimately eliminated by opponents even though he hid behind a cover.

The looper was frustrated with this kind of gameplay. Other members of the community shared similar instances and voiced their opinions regarding the same. This issue is happening quite frequently and has surprised the community.

The exploit is due to an issue with the graphics rendering. If gamers are playing in low graphics and the performance mode is enabled, then the objects at a distance won't be rendered correctly. So, they'd have the impression that the gamer is simply crouching or standing, even though there might be behind cover.

This rendering issue has caused a ruckus in the community, and gamers are being eliminated even if they are well hidden. Building in the game has been disabled. Therefore, gamers have to take shelter in structures and other items to prevent enemy attacks. However, the exploit has foiled every plan and turned out to be a major headache among gamers.
