We've re-enabled zipline ascenders. We're working through a better fix to this issue and will share more info when it's resolved ASAP. Exploiting bugs and glitches can result in a ban, please report players in-game for any behavior that violates our community rules.

@FortniteStatus It's totally pointless to report cheating, bugs, teaming, or anything else, even when we send videos as proof, you don't care at all. So stop pretending that you listen to the community, because you don't. https://t.co/0pioceKllo

Bro if that was true we wouldn’t have to deal with fucking cheaters every single game. Aimbot, godmode, wallhacks — non-stop.
Stop lying to the player base @Fortnite @EpicGames. We all see it. Your anti-cheat is trash and the bans are a joke.

@TTVOnDaRyZex0 Hey there 👋
You can turn your router off for 30 seconds and then turn it back on to restart your connection. If the issue persists, and if you're playing via a wired connection, try switching to different Wi-Fi networks (try both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies) 📶
