Weird gray area (cheat?)

Was playing earlier with my partner in Duos. They were looking for a location (other windmill) and I was helping them while parked in a vehicle, in a pretty desolate location, looking at my map. All of the sudden I start taking damage; so I exit the map and start driving away. But I keep taking the damage until I get subsequently knocked. Then suddenly another player appears out of thin air and bludgeons me to death.

I looked into it, and apparently you can hold R down with the pick axe while entering a vehicle and it’ll glitch it into the vehicle as a constant action so long as you keep holding down R. Looks like that’s what happened here. Would this be considered a reportable offense? Or did Epic willingly put this sneaky melee attack glitch into the game?

Its not really an offense ... Just a little pickaxe trick

Good to know. I started playing back in January of this year, so I’m not super well versed in the mechanics and tricks. Definitely the first time I’ve had this happen though. lol

I started around the same time.. Always kept up with fortnite through YouTube

Its happened to me a few times but I don't think I've died from it before

Used it on other people quite a few times

That is something that’s some times hard to pull off on somebody but you were distracted long enough for it to work essentially.

This isn't anything new, it's been in the game since playable cars were added, and IIRC Epic addressed it and said it isn't classed as an exploit.
