"Sure it ain’t yo wifi?"- Fans React to Unbelievable Healing Glitch in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 has brought plenty of excitement with new weapons, mechanics, and a fresh map overhaul. However, some players are facing an unusual problem—a healing glitch that has left them frustrated and, in some cases, cost them victory. Fans took to Reddit to share their experiences with the issue, leading to a heated discussion about whether this is a bug or simply a connection problem.

A Reddit user recently posted a clip showing their healing item failing to restore health, leaving them vulnerable in a crucial fight. The user, expressed their frustration, saying, "Exactly! I lost the encounter after this clip cause I thought I was full health!" Several other players chimed in, confirming they had faced similar issues throughout the season.

This glitch has led to players questioning whether healing mechanics are bugged or if it’s related to something else entirely.
While some players were quick to call it a glitch, others pointed out signs that suggest high latency could be the real culprit. A user noted, "Holy latency. This happened to me when my latency was high like yours is in this clip. When my latency improved they started healing again."

Another commenter was more direct, stating, "Sure it ain’t yo wifi?" - a remark that has since become the most relatable response in the thread. Others explained that Fortnite’s servers might not be processing the healing action due to desync issues, causing a delay between what players see on their screen and what the server actually registers.

A player confirmed this theory, saying, "Not sure what everyone is on about, clearly this is a lag issue. Top left-middle of the screen, wifi bars with downward facing arrow means dropped packets/high ping. Not a bug, just a desync."
Regardless of whether this is a server issue or a genuine bug, many players feel that Chapter 6 Season 2 has been riddled with glitches. One user summed it up by saying, "This chapter is chock full of them."
Epic Games has yet to officially address this issue, but given the growing complaints, players will be hoping for a fix soon. Until then, the best advice remains simple - check your ping before blaming the game!
