Fortnite: Battle Royale Dev Tracker

I'll poke our engineers about it to see why it's working that way.

Reactive is a broad term to describe that an item may do something within a match. This could be to progress through visual stages like Deadfire, change FX and shape like Rainbow Smash or Thunder Crash pickaxes, or make a noise when you get an elimination like the Clockworks back bling. The muertos items do their own thing, which is written in the description for the item (glow in the dark).

Here's how Deadfire's reactive component works:
-Stage 1 (Default look): Start of match
-Stage 2 (Clothing and hair color change): Occurs when you deal 400 damage to opponents/Cube Monsters OR when 40 players remain in the match (whichever comes first).
-Stage 3 (Green flames): Occurs when you deal 1,000 damage to opponents/Cube Monsters OR when 10 players remain in the match (whichever comes first).

These same rules & thresholds apply to the Pickaxe and Back Bling as well.

Basically, everyone can transform to the final stage of these items by surviving in the match (regardless of your playstyle), however you can transform quicker by engaging with cube monsters or other players earlier in the match.

I hope so, otherwise there's a bug...

OGS is simply a nod to a team in the Seattle offices :-).

Just checked in a volume reduction for an upcoming patch.

Hi all,

We are aware of an issue that occurred early Season 6 where purchases returned an error on PS4. These orders were fulfilled later in the day, leading to some multiple charges. We are currently investigating these cases.

For a short period immediately following Season 6 launch, our PS4 purchasing system returned errors for some players. All purchases including those with errors were fulfilled after the issue was resolved. We are investigating cases where players unintentionally made multiple purchases during this period.

Due to the influx of players trying to compete in our Alpha Tournament, we encountered a shortage of Battle Buses! Our teams are aware of this issue and we are monitoring the situation closely.

The Battle Bus is test driving an engine upgrade and now travels 25% faster while flying.

Remember, always buckle up and thank your driver!

Thanks everyone for helping us crank on this new system! Lots of info for us to look through from today and we're actively tackling a number of these issues stated here.

We're investigating issues with matchmaking in our Alpha Tournament that's impacting our EU regions. We'll update when we have more info.

EDIT: We're aware of an issue with tournament points not being updated correctly. We're investigating the issue and will update when we know more.

Each event is a clean slate. It's not cumulative over those dates.

If you can't play one day, choose an event on another date.

It's actually not possible. Events are limited to specific dates and time windows. You need to perform well in a tournament and you can schedule out which ones you want to participate in.

We've released a server update to address an issue causing the unintended destruction of non-player structures.

No download or downtime is required.

Take my upvote.

I believe we've fixed it in the 6.10 build, let me know if it's still a problem in that version.

Yes, I believe we found and fixed the cause. Going to try to get it into the next client patch.
