Undoubtedly, one can say that Fortnite is one of the biggest battle royale games in the world right now. Epic Games has invested much into its marque product over the years. And it yielded an increase in the game’s popularity. But this does not mean it doesn’t have flaws. The game has witnessed criticism every now and then. And the latest one among them is in the current Chapter 4.

These forced Epic Games to disable some features until it gets glitch-ridden. Now, Fortnite has announced that they have brought back some features that they had to remove for a while.

There were new skins, and cosmetics brought through this collaboration. The most highlighted feature though was the Deku Smash. A similar ability to Midoriya from the anime. But, what the Fortnite community was not ready for was the huge glitch this unique ability had.

According to a video uploaded by GKI, there were 2 major problems with the glitch. The first was that when we see someone use the Deku Smash, they seem to get stuck mid-air. But the player who used the ability would be somewhere else in the game. The second one was when you use the Deku Smash and press the repeat last emote button at the same time, your character will break.

These glitches forced Epic Games to remove the ability for good. Now as the problems are fixed, Fortnite has brought back the ability into the game.

Fans are ‘not very’ excited about this return

Though Chapter 4 brought many unique features to the game, fans were seen irritated. Especially because the game had tons of glitches. Fortnite had moved to Unreal Engine 5, and this added more problems to it. Thus, Fortnite had to remove and patch up many new features in the game.

But there were some fans who were excited to finally see the return of this feature.
