Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

(2021) Epic really needs to add a message in the lobby saying Broadsides do not work

Original Post

Just came from the 160 RTS mission. Some guy placed so many broadsides even though I tried telling him twice in chat that they are shooting blanks. I don’t exactly feel that bad for him because he clearly was just using duped traps ... he spammed 50+ tar pits, 50+ gas traps, and 50+ broadsides (all on T1 wood despite the exploding deathbomb modifier LMAO). But I do feel bad for all the players who are wasting their materials placing them (and maybe even losing missions if their defenses rely on them).

u/magyst is it possible to add a message on the homescreen saying something to the effect that broadsides are bugged so don’t use them.

In the words of an overhyped kid winning a pub in BR, “Let’s fucking go!!!”

Definitely! It's important to raise awareness to this considering how much this trap is used. Apologies that it took a couple days to roll this message out. The issue is on our Trello Board.. but in-game messaging definitely gets more visibility :)
