✅ Blitz Royale Bug Fixes

• [Mobile] Fixed an issue where items directly under the reticle couldn't be picked up by tapping, requiring you to look slightly away from the item instead.

What about a new map :)

When can we expect a new map? Or can we get the map rotation added back?

Thank you

Fun loot I like it. And new map ??? The most important Epic come on !

Dear Epic,

I have played 17,565 Blitz matches. I am currently #10 on wins leaderboard and #5 on total time played.

We love it. It's fast, fun, and downright sweaty! I recommend it to every new player.

People speculate that you guys deliberately don't update Blitz in order to balance popularity between game modes. That doesn't make sense to me and I don't know if that's true or not. All I can say is that BR, Reload, and Blitz are not interchangeable.

To be honest, since we've had a bunch of different cool Blitz maps in the past, not updating the map does kinda feel like a slap in the face to dedicated players who queue in your servers everyday.

After all, we're not just complaining. We actually show support. We have Fortnite Crew; we compete; we buy skins, we interact in the community; and most importantly, we keep playing.

We would all appreciate regular map and loot updates that match the frequency of other popular game modes.
