Why Fortnite has already disabled Zapper Traps Epic GamesEpic Games have decided to remove the newest item added to Fortnite Battle Royale, the Zapper Trap, and it\u2019s got to be feeling like deja vu for some players. The new trap item was added to the popular battle royale game on September 3, meaning that all within the space of 24 hours the developers had teased, released and disabled their newest feature \u2013 something that\u2019s been a recurring theme throughout Season 10 so far. Fortnite fans only have to cast their minds back to the initial v10.10 patch, which went live on August 20, where Glitched Consumables were added and partially disabled all in the same day. Just two weeks after that, the Zapper Trap has suffered the same fate. The news was confirmed by the official Fortnite Twitter account on September 3, as developers are investigating a problem. \u201cAs we investigate the issue kicking players from matches, we have temporarily disabled the Zapper Trap,\u201d they tweeted. The statement suggests that players are having trouble staying in matches, but it\u2019s unclear to what was specifically wrong with the trap itself. Yet, it has been removed promptly. As we investigate the issue kicking players from matches, we have temporarily disabled the Zapper Trap. We will provide an update when the Zapper Trap is re-enabled. \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) September 3, 2019 Epic Games have confirmed that they will be keeping the game\u2019s online community updated on the situation, but as of the time of writing the trap has been removed. For those who didn\u2019t even have the chance to use the item, it was basically an electric trap that could be thrown onto structures. Once it had connected to materials, it snaps into place and shocks enemy players nearby \u2013 and looked very powerful based on its reveal trailer, as seen below. In terms of when we can expect to see the Zapper Trap reinstated, that very much remains to be seen. As noted earlier, though, we can expect further updates in the near future on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
