Good question,

Any Challenges you've already completed will remain completed.

We communicated an incorrect end date for the 14 Days of Fortnite event and did not feel the Equalizer Glider compensation was the right approach. After further discussion, we’ve decided to bring back this event early next week through January 15 at 3 AM ET(0800 UTC). We’ll also be enabling some of the most popular Limited Time Modes that were available during the event.

 

Players who were unable to complete those Challenges will be able to earn all of the rewards they may have initially missed out on. All Challenges will be available to complete for the entire duration of the event. Unfortunately, progress on partially completed challenges has to be reset.

 

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!

Why don't you have both duo and squads throughout the whole week instead of having to switch it mid-way? You use to do it in season 3-5 I see no reason it can't happen now, make it more fun for everyone

The reason is we have more always-on modes now that we used to (Creative, Playground, etc). We need to keep the number of modes in the playlist fairly tight in order to ensure fast global matchmaking times 24/7.

Hey folks,

We've made the following changes to the Unvaulted LTM:

  • The Boom Box is no longer available in this LTM

  • Revolvers and Smoke Grenades are now available to loot in this LTM.

Drop in now and experience a blast from the past!

Yesterday we mentioned that we were adding both Smoke Grenades and Revolvers. Unfortunately, due to some complications, the Revolver did not end up being added. We’ll also be unable to add it for the remaining time of this iteration of the Unvaulted Limited Time Mode.

 

If this mode returns at some point in the future, it’s possible you may see even more variety of Unvaulted weapons and items. What would you want to see?

I've been tolerating the Switch port mostly because I can play it on the train and when someone else wants to use the TV, but I'm getting really fed up with the music cutting out on the emotes and the new glider, along with the situation posted here. u/FreighttrainUSA u/DustyDevo u/MrPopoTFS

All of the above and other Switch issues have been reported. I have also added some of the top issues to our Trello board for tracking purposes.

Unfortunately, it did not make it into the beginning of season 7, there was a lot of things already piling up in there :)

I'll make sure we get it done now that we are back from the holiday break. I'm thinking we go with Edit mode will have the same sensitivity as Build mode, not adding a new slider for it.

Is the LTM still only 1 day or will it last a while now that the fourteen days of Fortnite is over

We are planning on running Unvaulted Duos until Friday, then Squads through the weekend. Team Rumble is likely to stay on for a while.

Thanks for all the feedback around keeping a respawn mode on 24/7. We generally let popularity driven by data dictate what modes are on, and large team respawns historically have had good metrics, so it’s nice to see a ton of people taking the time to post about how much they like them and validate that data.

We apologize for communicating the wrong end date for 14 Days of Fortnite on social channels.

 

To make up for this, players that completed at least one 14 Days Event Challenge will be granted the Equalizer Glider. Eligible players will begin receiving theirs in the near future.

We didn't want pickaxes to give 1-hit elims, and yes the storm.

Balloons have been hotfixed off in both versions of High Explosives as of a few minutes ago.
