I feel like a short term solution to this problem could have/is to increase harvesting rates. That seems like it is a hotfix and would allow people to still farm at relatively the same rate. This would allow you to fix the bug, while working around it at the same time.
You are correct that we could hotfix that but that kind of HF would go across all platforms so PC would also get elevated mats which would have exacerbated the problem.
As the v11.50.1 stability patch for Xbox One, iOS, and Nintendo Switch also contains the fix for Weak Point harvesting hits not always registering, it will be released on all Android as well.
We will update you on our @FortniteStatus Twitter account as the patch comes to the remaining platforms. Thank you!

That will be fixed with the same hotfix that corrects the weapons
Make a suppressed pump I dare you
Haha we talked about it actually, currently not in the plans.
So when the Estimate is N/A or someting like 2 Hours it's because there are literally no players in my skill level available? Because most of my long time queues always say N/A on the estimated time, others have normal times like about 30 seconds or even erroneous times like 2 hours.
And that happens in most of not all modes, not just rumble.
I'm no expert in that area, but I believe that is correct. You must be a great player.
Do you think it’ll be fixed on PS4 before the celebration cup? Or are we slow farming our way through the tournament.
I have heard that we are going to message on social later today as to when the PS4 update will be ready, but I would be very surprised if it wasn't released by Thursday at the latest.
What is build?
Sorry, it just means an updated version of the game.
Basically hotfix means you change data (like how much damage a gun does, or how long it takes for the storm to close in), whereas most actual code bugs need to be fixed in code, compiled, and then a new version of the game has to be released to you. That process takes at least a few days in the best of circumstances.
It starts saying 0:01... then goes up to like 0:45... and then stays there for minutes on end. I’ll be 3 minutes into waiting for a match to ready up and it’ll still say the wait time is 0:45
An engineer told me they plan on doing some work to improve the wait time estimator. Apparently it currently uses an average of people of similar skill, so it's REALLY an estimate as opposed to something you can rely on for any given match's wait time.
Dusty, sorry to bother you, but any word on Rumble lobby times fix? I'm still rocking a majority well over 2 minutes and my lobbies have half the regular players.
I'm really trying to be patient, but I'm ready to give up at this point. There is no place left on the game to have fun.
We have been talking about some potential solutions, most likely starting with adding bots for lower end players (which will speed up MM times across the board).
Are weak points getting hot fixed?
I believe that is already live
Hey /u/KadzYT thanks for the vid! We're taking a look at this issue now.
[edited for accuracy]
When you hit Ready, what do you see for the estimated wait time? Is it in line with the wait times you are experiencing?
I checked the data and it looks like 99% of matches are started in less than 2m, with the majority of those being <30s. The top .1% of players might experience a few minutes of MM time, depending on the time of day.
We'll get the weapons that shouldn't be in there hotfixed off asap, hopefully by this afternoon.
FYI - only data changes can be hotfixed - code bugs like these require a new build.

I think the best solution is to contact player support and have them check out your account and see if anything odd is going on preventing a login. They might need to reset your login authentication, so you would need to log back in, but it might clear out any issue you are having.
Is there any info that you could provide about what was going on previously before this issue? When was the last successful login? Did you update recently before this? What device are you on and whats your user name?
Hey, u/Gilberttoo98!
Sorry to see you're running into this problem. I have shared this with our QA team so they can investigate.
