Fortnite fans might be aware of an in-game phenomenon known as “ghost-peeking.” Essentially, it was a visual bug that allows your opponents to take shots at you without revealing their soft and vulnerable bodies to a hail of your incredibly accurate bullets. Epic has now fixed it, but in doing so, they’ve created another equally disruptive issue.

Ghost peeking came about because Fortnite’s animation system makes sure your character’s feet are correctly positioned while crouching on a slope. Unfortunately, however, it also changed your character’s mesh, allowing you to remain safe behind cover while miraculously maintaining the ability to shoot over it.

An image posted on Reddit (which you can see in the image at the top of this article) shows what actually happened - the green line on that picture shows your bullet trace, which is about a foot higher up than the barrel of the gun. That means that you can shoot ‘through’ cover, even though your gun seems to be pointing directly at it. It was an unfortunate predicament, but Epic says it's been able to rectify it.

Sadly, in doing so they’ve created a brand-new issue. As pointed out in a separate Reddit thread, the solution makes it more difficult for players to aim down sights. A screenshot in that post shows the Cuddle Team Leader skin using a Burst Assault Rifle.
