Epic Games respond to Fortnite Slurpy Swamp health bug Update at 7:03 PM EST on October 22: The issue has been resolved. Slurpy Swamp has recalled the defective Slurp Barrels and put out a better batch. Slurp Barrels will again heal\/give Shield when destroyed! Fortnite Chapter 2 location Slurpy Swamp isn\u2019t providing players with health or shields and Epic Games finally responded to the issues. The v11.01 update in Fortnite fixed many nagging bugs with the game, but it turns out that another one was created from the patch and it\u2019s a pretty big one. Players have discovered the barrels found in Slurpy Swamp aren\u2019t rewarding them with any healing, despite that being their purpose. After many complaints, Epic became aware of the issue and announced they are looking into it. It\u2019s a bizarre glitch that wasn\u2019t there before the update, but now it\u2019s becoming a problem. While it likely won\u2019t make or break your game, it\u2019s not ideal and Epic released a statement about it. \u201cIt looks like Slurpy Swamp put out a bad batch of Slurp Barrels,\u201d tweeted Epic Games. \u201cWe\u2019re currently working to resolve Slurp Barrels not healing or giving Shield when destroyed. We\u2019ll update you when we resolve this.\u201d It looks like Slurpy Swamp put out a bad batch of Slurp Barrels!

Strange bugs like this popping up in Fortnite is nothing new, but the more annoying ones, like this, are usually fixed pretty fast. Slurpy Swamps is one of the many new locations on the map so players who are just diving into the season for the first time will want to check it out and having a bug like this occur will certainly make for a bad first impression. In the meantime, it\u2019s recommended that you avoid the area when you land, especially if you\u2019re only here for health. Surprisingly, this isn\u2019t even the first time a bug has come to Slurpy Swamp in the young season, as players were able to remain immortal there until a patch fixed that. We\u2019ll keep you updated on this bug going forward but for now, it\u2019s best to just carry around some extra healing items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
