Fortnite Season 2 bug turns premium skins into gameplay disadvantage
A critical bug in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 is affecting several popular skins when using the new Falcon Eye sniper rifle, creating significant gameplay disadvantages.
The bug primarily impacts skins with animated features, large collars, or special effects when aiming down sights (ADS) with the Falcon Eye sniper. Players report blocked vision through the scope, making the weapon nearly unusable with certain cosmetics.
Affected skins include:
- Ghost Rider
- Astrea
- Spider Punk
- Baymax
- Graven
- Nyanja
- Mystica
Additional visual glitches reported:
- Missing hair textures
- Duplicate back blings
- Extra limbs appearing
- Hair clipping through scope
- Texture loss on certain skins
The following skins experience texture or model issues:
- Miku
- Shadow Blade Hope
- Haruka of the Masks
- Johnny Silver Hand
- Snap
- Joss
The bug appears inconsistently but frequently enough to impact gameplay significantly. While Epic Games is likely aware of these issues, players should avoid using affected skins with the Falcon Eye sniper until a fix is released, particularly those with large or animated headpiece elements.
