ghost peeking

What does ghost peeking mean?

You pop up over a ramp or wall, fire, and drop back before your model even renders on the enemy's screen. They take damage from a player they can't shoot back at. Server-side lag does the dirty work.

"I had full shields then died to nothing — dude was ghost peeking me over his ramp the whole time."

Origin

Fortnite. Blew up around 2019–2020 as a quick-peek exploit popularised by pros like Tfue before Epic patched the worst of it.

Frequently asked questions

Does ghost peeking still work in Fortnite?
Epic patched the original exploit back in 2018–2020, but quick crouch-peeks over builds are still part of the game — just not the free-damage glitch it used to be.
