My understanding is while we cannot craft a Mechanical Explosive Bow it might still be possible to pull them in chests, though rarely.

Was that changed when Rocket Launchers were removed from Competitive?

Yep they were removed at the same time https://twitter.com/FortniteStatus/status/1383154856416976908

We removed the Mythic Bow yesterday from competitive. Is the video linked here from last night? It shows the Epic version of the explosive bow which should not have returned.

The lack of builds makes it pretty hard to give meaningful feedback, other than that it's basically unplayable. Is it a bug, or did someone actually sit down and think about the right number of builds to start with and come up with "3"?

The feedback that 3 builds is way too low is valuable. This is just a test period to see what players liked, what they didn't like, and how the mode performed while hooked up to our competitive scoring system (i.e. does it function at scale). We know we aren't going to get everything right the first time but we're willing to experiment and try things that are different from the normal competitive experience, and see what you all have to say.

Will it be coming back to PS4 when the Stability issues are resolved?

It's unlikely that the mode would be available again for PS4 during our test window unfortunately. If it does, we'll let you know.

Thanks for the initial feedback on the mode. We've also had to disable the mode for PS4 due to stability issues

Bruh I don’t get why epic couldn’t just fix this really easily by making either the body stay after you leave or by just removing shakedown.

We actually implemented a change in 16.20 that allowed the player pawn to stay in the game if you leave, as you can see in the video. This allows the shakedown to complete and reveal the opponents information. So far, we're pleased with the results and we'll look to remove the rule soon.

I appreciate the response and your efforts, but I'm beginning to think it's the glider bug all over again, it can't be fixed :'(

Stay tuned to the card on the trello board for updates. We're still working towards a fix

Reporting them in-game is the best way for us to get their information.

Yes, that is what I am alluding to! Is there any potential workaround or do we just have to keep restarting the game?

No workaround is known yet for this issue. I'm sorry for the inconvenience! We will update the Trello card when we have an update on the issue.

Thanks for the heads-up, Stevie!

I also apologize if this is a bad place to say this, but is there a potential that you guys could look into infinite loading screen on console? Every 10 games I play, I get stuck in the loading screen while I’m loading into the game, or I get stuck in the loading screen when I’m leaving the game. It’s a super annoying bug because it requires a full restart, and if this were to occur in a tournament it could waste valuable time.

I believe this is the issue you're running into https://trello.com/c/dqDfjlT5/1551-long-loading-screen-after-completing-a-session-on-playstation-xbox it's still being investigated

After the latest maintenance patch on PC, players may still experience the first issue of not being able to see the Arena playlist. The workarounds provided still work.

Comment

Note: If you're playing on Performance Mode, may still experience the issue of not seeing Arena in the playlist menu.

Another workaround is switching your region in your settings to one that is not your own, applying the change, and then switching back to your own region.

The fix should get rid of the 9999ms counter too.

It's a known issue. Hope to have this fixed by the next update https://trello.com/c/NkRe99ST/1693-arena-playlist-is-missing-from-the-playlist-select-menu
