Considering the downtime for Fortnite’s new season, players are shocked to find out that the 2 billion ammo glitch is still present in the game.

Over the years, Fortnite players have encountered some frustrating glitches that ruined their games. One major example of this is the infamous glitch that prevents players from being unable to build, leaving them exposed in the open against enemies.

Another frustrating issue that previously affected some players was being unable to sprint. Just imagine loading into a Battle Royale game, only to have your character moving at a predictable speed the entire time.

But as it turns out, not all glitches are bad — at least, according to some players. There’s one particular recurring glitch that has made collecting ammo easier than ever, albeit in a strange way.

As some players refer to the “2 billion shotgun ammo glitch,” this glitch causes a bot or NPC to drop a massive amount of ammo after getting eliminated. Apparently, some players have reported this happening quite a few times, especially during last season.

Now that the new season is finally out, players are surprised after discovering that this glitch still exists in the game. This was shared by iFireMonkey, one of Fortnite’s well-known leakers, in an X post.

In the screenshot attached to the post, their character was seen eliminating a bot, who somehow left behind 2,147,483,447 shotgun ammo.

“Some bots are dropping 2 billion shotgun shells when eliminated this season, funny to see this glitch still here,” they wrote.

Following this, some players in the comments claimed that they also had a similar thing happen.

“Omg, I thought I was going crazy when this happened the other day,” one person wrote, sharing a similar image. Interestingly, despite this being a glitch, some players claimed they wouldn’t want it removed.

“Best glitch I’ve ever seen. This is amazing for the whole squad to get max shotgun shells,” replied another person.

While it’s unclear when this will get patched out, rest assured, players won’t have to walk an extra mile to find shotgun ammo during the game while the glitch is still around.
