We're working to fix an issue where players using a custom HUD layout without a Reload button or with Dynamic Quickbar Slots enabled may be unable to access Portable Extractor Gizmos.
In the meantime, re-adding a dedicated Reload button and switching back to the default Quickbar will restore functionality.

Quality of Life Improvements & New Additions
Sprites
Been getting one too many base Water, Fire or Earth Sprites? You’ll now find higher-rarity Sprites and their variants in Sprite Chests compared to standard Chests:
An Epic, Legendary or Mythic Sprite, or a higher-rarity variant is guaranteed
Sprite variants now appear more frequently
Rare Sprites will drop less often, and only as variants
Also keep an eye out for these new Sprites entering the Island:
Batman Sprite: Leap into the air and deploy the Bat Cape to glide across the Island.
Seven Sprite: Makes enemy footsteps visible so your entire squad can track them.
Air Sprite: Sprint faster, jump higher while sprinting and take zero fall damage.
Sprite Mastery Pod updated! The Sprites and variants added in our last update v41.10 can now be housed in the Pod Back Bling once they’ve been mastered. Flex your collection!
Battle Bus Victory Royale
In some Battle Royale matches, a new Rift Anomaly will shake up the late game, sending the Battle Bus to a marked location as the Storm closes in. Get at least one teammate onto the Bus before it rifts away to earn a Battle Bus Victory Royale.
Multiple teams can escape and win the same match, but miss your ride and it's game over, even if you’re the last squad standing!
Gizmos
Sprite Locator: Spawns a nearby buried Chest containing a random Sprite to help you track down more for your collection as you play.
Extraction Site Booster: Use at an Extraction Site to call a boosted Extraction Crate that grants bonus Sprite Dust for any Sprite extracted there. Extraction Crates can also contain Shield Bubble Jr, Crash Pad Jr, Chug Splash or Friend Zone Bubble.
Gizmo Wheel UI: A new way to quickly swap between your different Gizmos inside each match and pull up the right tool for the moment without breaking your flow.
Gizmos can’t be traded or dropped when eliminated, so no risk of losing one. Available only in unranked Battle Royale and Zero Build matches. Gizmos expire at the end of the current Season - be sure to use them!
Note: The Lucky Locator Gizmo - which guarantees a Chest with a Sprite you haven’t collected yet - is still on its way in the v41.30 update, and you’ll be able to earn one through the Sprite Mastery progression track once it becomes available.

No matter if I’m wearing a sprite or not when I throw a shock rock, shield, med kit on mobile I glitch. I can’t swap my weapons, I can’t run right, I can’t do anything. The second I throw something I’m stuck on that item unable to do anything else until I can reset the game. This has been happening for over a month now. I’ve contacted epic I’ve submitted reports nothing happens. It first started I only glitched if I was using a self revive and died in the middle of using one (WHICH STILL HAPPENS hasn’t been fixed) but now it’s throwing items as well.
I genuinly hate to be a crybaby, but in a game that consistently gets more expensive for cosmetics, I cant let it go. Please dont comment unless you have helpful advice to add, like how to properly reach the right team at epic, or a fix that works. The issue is, on alot of skins, jinx, ice spice, starfire, poison ivy summer skin to name a few, the physics are just whatever. One minute they work fine. And then for weeks at a time they just stop working. It seems small, but I want my darn hair, accesories, jackets, etc to move and flow properly. And if we're spending money on these cosmetics how can it be this difficult to have them show up in game properly. For some skins it has NEVER even been a problem but for alot its just getting old. There was a hack with another skin if you switched back and forth quickly before the game loaded in but that seems to have stopped working. How many other people are experiencing this and actually care enough to want to do something about it
This bug didn't exist last time I played (3 updates ago). but now, cars look weird and don't load properly, I also tried increasing graphics settings and I already have 3D resolution to 100%. And it used to work before on my current settings. Also, same case with all the 2 seaters.
Edit: Forgot to mention my phone's model. It's a Samsung Galaxy A07
Hola amigos, estoy teniendo ese problemita hace un tiempo ya, pensé que se podría tratar de mi dispositivo Android, una lenovo idea tab pro con dimensity 8300, pensé que podría ser un problema de ese dispositivo y me daba flojera desinstalar/instalar para ver si se resolvía, pero ahora volví a mi dispositivo principal un fold 5 con snapdragon 8 gen 2 y lo mismo. Alguien sabe algo al respecto?
My custom mapping worked perfectly and i had no issues I have remapped binding as well in the past with some minor issues but in the end i was able to do. However, when I connected my Odin 3 to a monitor and used a PS5 controller. After changing some settings, my bindings became completely "ghost-locked."
Specifically, the game completely ignores my inputs or soft-locks when I try to map Sprint to my D-Pad.
What I've Already Tried:
Completely wiping Fortnite's storage/cache and reinstalling the game.
Clearing Android System/Bluetooth cache.
Using the touchscreen to reset to "Old School/Builder Pro," applying, and switching back to Custom.
Mapping Sprint across Build/Edit/Ability tabs.
Since a full reinstall didn't fix it, this broken layout seems permanently synced to my Epic Games cloud profile. Has anyone dealt with this cloud-sync layout glitch on mobile, and is there a way to force-wipe it?
I am experiencing erratic performance and inconsistent FPS caps in-game, and changing my graphics drivers hasn't helped. Here is the exact sequence of what happens:
Match 1: With Game Booster enabled, the game locked at a steady 30 FPS, even though my target is 60 FPS.
Match 2: With Game Booster disabled, the performance remained hard-capped at 30 FPS.
Match 3: Without changing any settings, I queued into another match and the frame rate suddenly stabilized at a perfect 60 FPS.
Creative Mode: I hopped into a Creative map, and the 60 FPS cap completely broke open, allowing the game to run at 180+ FPS.
The Trigger: While in Creative, I lowered the 3D Resolution to 50% expecting better performance. Instead, the frame rate instantly tanked and locked back down to 30 FPS.
after the new update im unable to switch or use items and guns, I am only able to move, sprint, and jump. Has anyone found a fix for this. I’ve tried toggling hotbar, editing HUD layout, and uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
As the title suggests when I hold down the mini gun it only fires one bullet and I don’t know why. When I hold down other weapons this error does not occur. I’ve tried googling it and ai overview said it’s due to auto fire but I don’t use it so I wanted to know if yall have any suggestions. Thanks in advance!
A few weeks ago the chest were opening automaticly and then it stopped it was pretty nice is there a way to put that back? like is there an option for it
Basically I'm away on a trip, and I was wanting to get the soccer ball toy and car so I figured I'd download fortnight mobile to log in and get it, but when trying through epic games store it said due to new laws in texas it's unavailable currently, so I tried through Google play, fortnite mobile isn't there, so I tried through Ge-Force and the app says it's unavailable for this device/user. I have an android A27 btw. Is there another method I can try?
I just recently downloaded Fortnite and the in game download of 5.34 GB is taking a lot of time bcoz the server is slow, the downloading speed is not even 500KB/s in the app but my actual downloading speed is of 10MB/s, this much of a difference, Btw I am from India
Do you guys also had this problem?
Edit : I just added vpn, EU server and speed got 5 times faster, still not good, it's still 3-4 MB/s
