Hey there,

This actually was mentioned in the Patch Notes here:

 

"Updated Loot Props Gallery - Add new chest that is equivalent to a supply crate. This will be used in new block submissions."

 

The reason you're seeing this type of Chest is that it's at the Block, which is the only location you'll be able to find this Chest in Battle Royale.

We're looking into this one as well, thanks!

Any input of adding Respawns in-game? 😉

This was said in the recent Fornite Battle Royale AMA regarding this feature: "We’ve been considering this mechanic for a while and have been exploring it. Want to make sure we give it the time it needs and fully understand its impact on the game as a whole. Look for further updates during Season 8."

We’re aware the “auto-run” feature is not functioning properly for some players. We’re working towards a fix and will get it out to you as soon as we can.

Explanation: cannot turn on party assist for the bottom week 1 challenge.

Evidence: check it out for yourself

If replicable how: press “a” on the bottom week one challenge.

Platform: Xbox one.

It seems the bottom bar where the chat option is located blocks the drop down menu for party assist. I’ve also noticed the same bar blocks the announcements that appear on the bottom as well.

Thanks for the report! I've sent this off to the QA team for investigation.

Playground "No Fill" option not working properly.

Select no fill with default settings and it will fill your game with randoms.

We're looking into this issue now, thanks for the info!

Hey there - Unvaulted was changed from the first time we ran it (a mix of original weapons + a few from the vault) to being a mode consisting entirely of the vaulted weapons, due to popular request.

We will also before too long add Classic to the rotation, which will consist ONLY of weapons & items that were available in the first couple seasons of the game.

The hope is that these two LTMs together will do a little bit to scratch the nostalgia itch & let people who miss the vaulted items have some more time with them.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

The root cause was identified and we are trying to sneak a fix in for Season 8 launch.

Due to an issue associated with the redemption flow for the HONOR Guard outfit on HONOR’s website, we will be rolling back the distribution of that outfit until further notice.

Thank you so much for your patience on this, we apologize for the inconvenience. We’ll provide an update at a later date on how to acquire the outfit.

Heya,

So, we definitely have some kinks to work out with the report feedback loop. It launched in v7.40 so we've been closely watching to make sure everything is working correctly, we have a few more tweaks to make until you'll probably see a more consistent message. However, we haven't loaded up ALL of the previous reports so I'd encourage everyone to make sure you're using the report tool now and we can make sure to capture that and let y'all know when we've taken action!

Hey folks,

We're aware that some Outfits have some extra starch in their cloth, causing certain clothing to be stiff rather than flexible. We'll get these issues smoothed out as soon as we can.

 

In the meantime, if you're experiencing a problem with an Outfit, please let us know a detailed description on what it is, which platform you play on, and which Outfit it's affecting.

 

Thanks a bunch to the OP for bringing this issue up and for all the additional clarity/information in the comments.
