Fortnite Chapter 6 has brought tons of new mechanics, items, and gameplay opportunities. But with these new features come plenty of ways to mess up your match, whether by accident or just lack of awareness. From game-breaking glitches to strategic missteps, here are 30 things you should absolutely avoid doing in Fortnite.

1. Do Not Jump Off Bridges with the Subzero Mythic
The new Subzero Mythic item lets you walk on water, but there’s a major catch: it turns the water into ice. If you leap off a bridge expecting to land safely, think again—it’s like hitting solid concrete. So, unless you enjoy getting eliminated in a comically painful way, stay off those high jumps.
2. Avoid Flying to Space (Yes, It’s Possible)
Players have discovered a hilarious but risky glitch involving bikes and the in-game train. By riding a bike onto the train and then letting it fall off, you might just find yourself launched into orbit. As funny as it sounds, this will most likely end with you being completely out of the match.
3. Be Cautious with the New Armored Truck
Fortnite introduced the armored truck, and it’s quickly become a fan-favorite. But there’s a serious issue—if you heal it at a gas station while your friends are riding in the back, they’ll get locked inside. Suddenly, you’ve just ruined your squad’s game, leaving them to rage in frustration.
4. Never Pickaxe a Certain Object After Use
There’s one object you absolutely do not want to pickaxe after using it. Doing so can trigger a game-breaking bug that could get you stuck, eliminated, or even banned. Stay safe and think before you swing!
5. Be Careful with Hired NPCs in Skybases
Skybases are a fun yet risky strategy, and adding a hired NPC might seem like a great idea—until they randomly break down your entire build. Your hired help could end up being your worst enemy, so maybe leave them on solid ground.
6. Do Not Cheat – The Punishment is Real
We all know cheating is bad, but Fortnite has taken anti-cheating measures to the next level. Competitive player Repul God was caught cheating and, instead of just getting banned, was sued by Epic Games and legally forced to upload an apology video. It’s not worth it—just play fair.
7. Be Wary of the Kneecapper and Grind Rails
The Kneecapper is a fun weapon, but if you try hopping onto a grind rail with it, expect chaos. Players have found themselves in unintended places, sometimes even falling through the map.
8. Don’t Bother Fighting the Armored Van Guards
Many players waste ammo and health fighting the guards protecting the armored van, but there’s a better way. Simply push the van into the water, and the guards disappear instantly. Easy loot with zero effort.
9. Avoid Game-Breaking Quest Glitches
A current bug with Big Deal’s quest can accidentally make players immune to Storm damage and grant 999 materials. If you ready up immediately after finishing the quest, the glitch carries into the next game, labeling you as a cheater. Don’t risk a ban over this accidental exploit.
10. Never Use a Med Mist on a Train
Healing on the go is important, but if you try using a Med Mist while riding the train, you’ll regret it. For some reason, it completely messes up your movement, making you an easy target.
11. Don’t Assume You’re Safe in Cars
Vehicles may seem like mobile fortresses, but enemies can still take you out easily. They can hop into the passenger seat and attack you up close, or simply pickaxe your car while you sit defenseless inside.
12. Think Twice Before Wearing Superhero Skins in Fortnite OG
Superhero skins used to be a sweat’s dream, but in Fortnite OG, they’ve become pay-to-lose. Thanks to glowing eyes, players are now visible through smoke, making them easy targets.
