A new Fortnite update is always exciting, and fans are desperately speculating about what the new patch will add to the game. Some Fortnite fans are attempting to satisfy their curiosity in unique ways, with some hacking the game and employing AI to get early hints of what to expect when Fortnite v.23.50 lands.
Fascinatingly, Fortnite’s player base has turned to AI to help them get early hints about the next season’s content. On Feb. 27th, the official Fortnite Status account tweeted announcing some upcoming downtime.
This tweet also featured a code, reading “3 18 1 3 11 20 8 5 3 15 4 5.” Of course, players, now familiar with Fortnite’s fondness for ARG elements, quickly set about cracking the code.

While some were able to solve the code the old-fashioned way, simply by changing each number to its corresponding letter in the alphabet, user HYPEX gave the code to AI chatbot ChatGPT, which quickly informed them that the code translated to “Crack The Code.”
