It’s a new week, meaning there’s a new collab in Fortnite. A week after South Park continued the 6-7 meme, the live-service battle royale is sticking with animation with Adventure Time, another beloved — albeit for different reasons — show that has been a longtime fan request.
There’s Fionna the Human, Ice King and Lemongrab, plus a wealth of other additions, including an emote based on Cake the Cat titled “Cake’s Narrative Flapjacks.”
It costs 300 V-Bucks, has your character making a flapjack and jumping in the air with glee.
No big deal, right? Well, no. That’s because the emote has seemingly returned “jiggle” physics into the game for its female characters, certainly inadvertently.
Over on Reddit, where the discovery was first shared, players noted that it almost certainly the result of an animation mess up that then gives the perception that “jiggle” physics are actually in the game.
They’re obviously not in-game.
But until that bit is fixed, then this is the result:
“It’s not actually jiggle physics,” someone wrote on Reddit. “The animation is just messed up, and it looks like a bone in the chest might have a double transform on it. Meaning that it’s moving 2x the distance it should. And that bone controls the midriff up to mid-chest.”
Epic’s Decision To Alter The Peacemaker Dance Is The Worst Middle Road Choice It Could Make
Epic removed the Peacemaker dance, altered it, then brought it back.
TheGamer independently tested the emote and can verify its unintended consequences.
Fortnite Has Had To Deal With “Jiggle” Physics And Other NSFW Things Before
Being that Fortnite is a game primarily played by children and also involves IPs that often have strict usage guidelines, Epic Games typically handles such matters quickly.
Gamers might recall early last September that Fortnite removed the ability to combine certain emotes to create a lewd combination. As a result, players could no longer use an emote when another player has activated Party Hips or Poki emotes. Those who tried after the fix were met with nothingness.
Way before that, in 2018, was the first instance of “jiggle” physics in Fortnite, which was the result of a certain skin, plus emote, combination. Not only was that patched out, but Epic Games issued a statement in which it called the situation “embarrassing.”
“This is unintended, embarrassing, and it was careless for us to let this ship,” an Epic representative told IGN at the time. “We are working now to fix this as soon as possible.”
We’ll update this story if things change this go around.
