New Fortnite invisibility glitch found in Predator Cloaking Device
You can hide from your opponents in Fortnite Season 5 with Predator’s Cloak Device and become invisible. Now some fans have found a way to exploit the device for an infinite invisibility glitch.
Epic Games brought The Predator to Fortnite Season 5 as part of the v15.21 update. You can battle him as a boss to unlock his skin and if you acquire the hunter’s mythic Cloak Device then you can become invisible.
Once you activate the device, other players won’t be able to see you other than getting a glimpse at your outline from a distance. You can use this to get a drop on your foes and then take them out when they least expect it.
One player discovered a glitch involving the Cloaking Device that you can exploit to gain infinite invisibility.

This exploit was found by YouTuber Glitch King, who posted a video in which he showed off a way to extend the invisibility effect throughout the entire duration of a match. It’s so easy to perform that anyone can do it.

All you have to do is use the Cloaking Device and then unplug your internet. You can reconnect immediately and the game will keep you invisible until the match ends, or until you log off. You will be undetectable to other players and can use this to your advantage.
It’s not surprising to find an exploit like this since we’ve seen it happen several times in Fortnite. It was only recently that a few players discovered one that allowed them to use the jetpack to fly infinitely in the Floor is Lava tournament.
The most surprising thing about this glitch is how fast it was discovered. The Predator and his Mythic Cloaking Device have only been in the battle royale for a few hours and fans have already found a way to exploit bugs.
This exploit is fairly easy to take advantage of, and as the title of the video suggests; it will make players think that you’re hacking. It can be considered game-breaking since you will be almost impossible to spot during the match.
That said, it’s still difficult to kill The Predator, so it’s unlikely that many players will be taking the time to disconnect and reconnect their internet. If the bug persists, then it could become a real problem.
We might see Epic Games disable the new mythic soon until they properly patch up the glitch. We’ll be sure to update you if they do. You can read our guide to beating Predator to learn how you can unlock him as a skin.
