[2019] Enemies and environmental entities are temporarily invulnerable to ranged weapon damage and pickaxe damage in 8.40.1

Youtube Video *Please ignore my youtube channel. I have nothing to promote. The videos that are on there were used for informational purposes. I didn't know how else to upload this.

I posted this in the bug megathread, but I thought I would make a new post for it so it gains some traction.

I don't experience packet loss anywhere in the video and things like abilities, gadgets, and interacting with items still work, so this looks like a new bug to me. I have not tested this with traps or melee weapons yet. If anyone has an explanation that isn't bug related I will delete this post and the comment in the megathread.

Note: the background noise in the video is probably my laptop's sh*tty Realtek audio speakers. Please mute the video.

I saw another thread on this a few minute ago as well. Going to add the instructions for client log pulling so that we can investigate this.

Do you mind doing the following (Any anyone else impacted by this):

Launch Fortnite
Encounter this issue
Close your Fortnite client
Navigate to C:\Users\AppData\Local\FortniteGame\Saved\Logs.
Grab the FortniteGame.txt file that is there (It will be time stamped from when you closed your client)
Send it to me via discord (Magyst#8046) / google drive.

If you are on console:

Go the 3 line menu in the top right (after going into the setting / hitting start)
Click "Feedback"
Click "bug report"
Add the title "Pickaxe doing no damage"
Submit the report.

Please let me know when this is done and please include your in-game game so that we can dig in.

Thank you!
