It\u2019s unknown if a fix for the random death bug has been rolled out. We’ve collected the data we were looking for and have re-enabled The Baller. Jump in the driver seat and roll out! \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) March 18, 2019 Epic Games disabled the newest mobility feature in Fortnite Battle Royale, \u2018The Baller\u2019, on March 18 as they investigated issues, presumably due to the random death glitch discovered by players. On March 17, players began reporting an issue with the new Baller, showing that they would randomly lose all their health and be eliminated from a match when landing in certain spots. It was unclear what was causing the frustrating bug, as it was happening in various locations around the map, with little consistency. In response, Epic Games disabled The Baller on March 18, presumably due to this issue, although they did not specify, explaining only that there was a \u201cstability issue\u201d. The Baller was later re-enabled after a few hours, and players will be hoping that whatever Epic tweaked has solved the death glitch. We’ve temporarily disabled The Baller while we investigate a stability issue. We’ll roll out a status update once we know more. \u2014 Fortnite (@FortniteGame) March 18, 2019 Some players, particularly the competitive community, were perhaps hoping to see a more permanent end to The Baller, as there is debate over whether it was a good addition or not. For now though, it\u2019s back in the game, so make the most of it while it\u2019s available!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
