A new Fortnite glitch allows players to get into the vault without using a key. Streamer Nick ‘NickMercs’ Kolcheff encountered a player using this glitch and lost his mind.

Fortnite has always been prone to exploits. Most long-time fans remember when Tfue was jumping through walls and shooting through doors back in the day. We’ve gone through ebbs and flows of glitches, with some being far more powerful than others.

Fortnite Season 2 introduced vaults to the game, which give players high-tier loot once they kill an NPC boss and clear an area. It didn’t take long before someone found a way to get into the vault without having a key.

There are a couple of ways to do this exploit – each specific to a different location. This one involves using a boat at the agency. All you have to do is build a boat into a box on top of the vault. Cap it off with a cone, which will push the boat down into the vault.

This glitch isn’t as useful as it looks. The only time you’d need to use it is if someone took off with the Agency vault key – and you could get stuck and lose the match.

The idea is to surprise an opponent, but setting this up will take too much time if someone else is in the area. This is something you might do once for a laugh, and then never do it again.

That is unless you’re trying to surprise a streamer like NickMercs. The FaZe Clan member was happily looting The Agency in a solo match when he encountered someone in the closed vault. It blew his mind.

Again, the glitch, itself, seems a bit too convoluted to be worth doing. All of the big chests appear to despawn when you glitch inside of the vault, and you could get stuck if no one lets you out.

Still, it made for a pretty hilarious clip. Hopefully, Nick was able to pick his jaw up off the floor and win the match.
