Community Responds to Mysterious Player Death Linked to Zipline in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 continues to engage players with the exciting new content offered in Absolute Doom. However, similar to previous seasons, players are still encountering various bugs and glitches, despite the introduction of numerous features and items this season.

This issue was recently highlighted in a Reddit post by user u/INFINITY–Oficial, where they shared a clip from a squad Zero Build match in Chapter 5 Season 4. Dressed in the Infinity Outfit and equipped with War Machine’s Arsenal, the player ascended using a zipline at The Raft POI only to be unexpectedly eliminated upon interacting with it.

u/darthyogi suggested that a kill barrier may have been responsible for the elimination. This is a common occurrence in the game where Epic Games unintentionally leaves certain instant elimination boundaries active. Meanwhile, user u/FlintTheDad commented on the player’s noteworthy collection of Marvel weapons, including Captain America’s Shield.

User u/tayhorix raised a lighthearted point regarding the team’s choice of the Infinity Outfit, humorously questioning why they all chose the same attire.

What caused the player’s mysterious elimination in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4?

While the unusual death experienced by the player in the Reddit clip is not unprecedented in Chapter 5 Season 4, it brings to light the question of its cause. Comments under the thread indicate that the zipline near The Raft POI might be bugged, with many players reporting similar issues there.

Another theory proposed by commenters points to a potential kill barrier issue. Epic Games typically implements kill barriers near the edges of the map to prevent players from exploiting out-of-bounds areas. However, it appears that a kill barrier was inadvertently left active near The Raft, leading to this unexpected elimination. It remains to be seen how Epic Games will address the bug and rectify the problematic zipline that is causing issues for players.
