Summary
A reproducible technique that causes severe server-wide degradation in UEFN maps have been discovered. Due to the nature and severity of this issue, I am not comfortable sharing reproduction steps publicly.
Impact:
- Affects all players on the server (not just the person doing it)
- 100% reproducible
- No third-party tools required
- Scales in severity with more players involved
- Potential for server instability with prolonged execution
- MAYBE could affect Fortnite BR too (totally unsure about this one)
I’d prefer to enter in private contact with an Epic employee to share full reproduction steps.
Attached, a video of the exploit but from a player that’s randomly playing the game perspective
