We’re removing most vehicles and fire from all tournament playlists to improve server performance. We will be replaying yesterday’s Duos Cash Cup Round 2 with the same teams in NAE/NAW/BR server regions tonight for extra prizes. Results from yesterday will also stand. https://t.co/5yyxLrnSDh
The remaining IO vehicles have been removed from competitive playlists. The primary fire of Siege Cannons has been disabled only in competitive playlists, but you can still launch yourself with the alternate fire feature. https://twitter.com/FortniteStatus/status/1519759663113322496
For known issues addressed by v20.40, head over to our Trello board here: https://trello.com/c/ROXUk6x0

We're aware that players in the Starting Loadout Lightning Cup are not spawning with a full loadout. We’ve fixed this issue for our remaining regions and we'll reschedule the Middle East, OCE and Asia regions' Cups to tomorrow. Check the Compete Tab for your region's start time. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FS9gmXAWQAYxuAe.jpg

We've identified a visual issue causing Rank updates to take longer than expected. If you skip through the Match Results, you may have to restart Fortnite for your Rank to be revealed or updated. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwU_vzgWwAA8IGS.jpg

@BoopNL_ Hey Boop! We're seeing queue times start to get shorter and players are beginning to get into matches faster as players are both revealing and rising the ranks. We'll continue to monitor long queue times and make adjustments if needed.
@eddeeee3 Hey @eddeeee3 , congrats on the rank up! To clarify, Gold 3 is a higher placement than Gold 2. You can see the overview of all ranks in our blog here: http://fn.gg/ranked
