The Fortnite reload glitch is something pretty much everyone experienced at one point. You’re in a tense fight, you peak, have your angles perfect, and you go to fire and your weapon has begun reloading by itself instead of shooting. The glitch is one of the more persistent bugs in the game. It first popped up a while ago and has gone back and forth from the game since. It most recently popped up earlier in Chapter 5.
Why does the Fortnite reload glitch happen? If you’re in a decisive end game, trying to get up the Fortnite ranks, it can be particularly frustrating. Is there anything you can do to avoid the glitch and how can you fix it?

The glitch is a common problem when a weapon will begin to reload itself instead of shooting when you click to fire. It’s a particularly prominent weapon bug which has affected loads of different weapons over the seasons. It seems to occur across modes too. Although, we’re yet to see the reload glitch pop up on Fortnite Reload ironically enough.
What can be particularly annoying is how randomly this occurs. You can’t really predict it, so it’ll always seem to happen at the worst possible times! Like when you’re in an important end game battle. However, there isn’t really any rhythm or reason to it. It seems to happen particularly to weapons with an extended mag from the mod system, which can be avoided. Is there anything you can do about reloading instead of shooting though?
To fix the Fortnite reload glitch, you’ve really just got to wait for a patch. Basically, the only thing that you can do when it occurs, is switch weapons and try to deal with it. The bigger fix, is to wait for Epic to fix it.
The Fortnite reload glitch has popped up more than once. However, it’s usually fixed pretty quickly. Annoying if they’re on a break, but they’re rare. The glitch usually goes away with a Fortnite update or two. It doesn’t seem to be in the game right now either, but it could raise its head again in the future. Hopefully not.
