We have just deployed a hotfix to update Team Rumble with a few changes.

• Increased Eliminations to win the match from 100 to 150
• Decreased the final circle radius from 20000 to 12500 to promote a more chaotic late game
• Removed one minute from first circle shrink time to force combat to occur sooner
• Increased chest and floor loot spawn chances from 80-90% to 100%
• Increased Assault Rifle spawn chances by 67% in chests
• Decreased Suppressed Pistol spawn chances by 75%
• Supply drops now drop two Legendary weapons and two additional consumables
• Increased Compact SMG and shotgun drop chances by 50% in supply drops
• Decreased Rocket Launcher spawn chances by 50% in chests and 67% in supply drops
• Lowered Spike Trap drop chance by 50% (resulting in an increase to launch pads and campfires)

Hey there,

Thanks a bunch for bringing this issue to our attention. Has this stopped since restarting your game?

We're investigating this now and will get a fix out as soon as we're able to. Thanks again!

The iPad Mini 5 is a new product that our team is still testing. It was our first patch supporting it, and we wanted to get live data to make sure it's performing as expected before turning it on officially. We've collected the required data and will be turning 60FPS on this device in v8.40 as long we see no issues in the data. We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience this may have caused.

Hitches during first few games are shaders being compiled. We ideally find a way to do this during the lobby.

Hey there,

Thanks a bunch for bringing this issue to our attention. Is there any more information you can provide? Which platform are you on? Has this stopped since restarting your game?

We’ve just released a fix to resolve the issue where players in Arena were only receiving 25HP on eliminations instead of 50HP. Thanks for your patience.

For my own sanity can you try turning on show fps again and see if it affects anything? We usually have issues with performance immediately following patches, but it usually levels out after a few games.

/u/freighttrainusa can you Trello this up? Can't think of a good technical reason for this not to be possible. Not sure if it'll get in in time for 8.40, but it should be doable soon.

Haya, this is already fixed in 8.40. By the time we had a chance to fix it for 8.30, it was already passed our hard lock deadline unfortunately. :(

Sorry for the inconvenience.

When players report issues here on reddit we report it over to our QA team who attempts to reproduce the issue. Being that this was near 2 weeks ago, im not sure what I was doing but I do jump into normal live games to help out our QA team when I can especially if its mobile-related.

I used to play PC well before I worked for Epic, then I joined on the mobile team. I still played PC while at home and mobile at work but when I transitioned to the Fortnite Community Team to be the mobile coordinator I started playing mobile much more often to the point where I might be better on mobile then I am PC at this time ;)

I really do not remember exactly what happened but there is a good chance I ran into an eliminated players trap? Playing on mobile the tendency is to forget to look up sometimes 🙃I also could have been just running in to test something and eliminated myself after doing what I needed to do.
