Battle royale games like Fortnite thrive on live updates, but glitches can disrupt the fun. Epic Games typically responds swiftly to maintain a smooth experience.
Shortly after the 19.20 patch, players discovered the Foundation monument—Mighty Monument in glitch lore—could be knocked from its pedestal using a simple tire explosion. The hilarious spectacle captivated the community until Epic patched it on February 2.
The rapid fix stunned fans, who had barely begun enjoying the chaos.
"Boys, the good times are over. Time to pack it all up," one player lamented. "Shit," another replied. "I still have an hour of work ahead of me. What makes you feel the need to be so efficient, Epic?"
Many urged developers to "bring it back," with pleas like "reverse this, at least in Combat Labs."
Though entertaining, the glitch caused severe lag across lobbies as players replicated it, leading to widespread frame drops. Epic prioritized stability, patching it promptly.
While the monument stays put now, the Fortnite community holds out hope for a nostalgic return—perhaps as an intentional feature down the line.
