Stranded in Fortnite: Players Struggle with Battle Pass Bugs
Fortnite players are up in arms against Epic Games following the discovery of a progression issue leaving them sidelined from the Battle Pass routine.
The Chapter 5 Season 2 of Fortnite is in full swing. This entails players being engrossed in completing weekly missions to boost their ranking in the Battle Pass. However, users have reported glitches hindering progress and blocking rewards.
In a Reddit post titled 'New Quest Presents?', fans shared screenshots of the issue, with many claiming it also affects cross-platform users. "I think this is happening to almost everyone," reads one comment. Fortnite enthusiasts are hopeful that this glitch will be addressed in the upcoming update, with many claiming to have reached out to Epic Games to report it.
"I just reported this to EPIC support and they told me they had no idea about this glitch. I told them a simple Google search would tell them all they need to know. It seems like they're not even trying. They get really mad at any issue," said one player.
Users also accused Epic Games of neglecting the current season, as similar progression errors affected Battle Stars rewards for those aiming for the Hades super style. Instead of saving mission progress, this glitch showed that no matter how many stars a player had, they would always be five stars short.
While Fortnite fans await resolution on this issue, they also note that the current "sniper meta" hasn't shifted despite the Chapter 2 Season 2 update, prompting questions about whether Epic Games is truly working towards eliminating Zero Build.
