A new exploit has been discovered in Fortnite Chapter 2 that allows players to have unlimited use of the Sneaky Snowman item.
The Sneaky Snowman item was one of several additions and major changes made in Fortnite’s recently-released v11.30 update.
Having previously featured during Season 7, the item is not new to the world of Fortnite. However, its Chapter 2 version includes a new feature that allows players to destroy it and create a snowball that can be thrown around for damage.
Other than that, its array of functions have remained the same as players can still hide in it for stealth and camouflage purposed.
While it may not be the most powerful item in the game, it can still be used effectively, which is why this new has the potential to be dangerous, especially if it really has no limit.
