How the Fortnite Spider-Man gloves bug works

When it comes to the Spider-Man mythical web-shooters bug, here’s what one of the Sypher’s friends says: “If you keep your gloves out, I already did, you do not take fall damage. But it’s only if you swap. If you swap, it’s like the game registers that you don’t have gloves anymore or something. I don’t know what’s going on.”
