Players can no longer drop their Victory Crowns in Fortnite Addressing the Fortnite subreddit, a user named Known_Focus_1065 said they\u2019re no longer able to remove Crowns from their inventory. The player claims the issue likely arose following the release of Fortnite\u2019s patch on June 20. Whether or not this is a weird glitch or a purposeful decision on Epic\u2019s part is not yet known. Regardless of the why of it all, this particular revelation isn\u2019t sitting well with dedicated Fortnite users. Many people are upset that they\u2019ll no longer be able to drop Fortnite\u2019s Victory Crowns for friends and other players.
