It’s been a while since the developer Epic Games introduced Marvel’s iconic web swinger Spider-Man in Fortnite. And ever since, the fans are absolutely enjoying this amazing character in the game. However, it looks like one Spider-Man item, the gloves, is experiencing some kind of bug in the game.

People are taking fall damage despite wearing the mythical web-shooters. While equipped with the mythic web-shooters, if the players switch to any other item or weapons, while being in the air, they take fall damage.

Surprisingly, switching to other items cancels out the web-shooters fall damage immunity. Recently, a prominent streamer named Ali Hassan, who’s better known as SypherPK, did a video where he mentioned this bug.

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.”
