But in this particular instance, things have appeared strange since yesterday. Epic usually announces the new update the day before it goes live, if that upgrade will require downtime or not. Epic's competitive content schedule means that has occurred every week for Fortnite items quite a while now, but we did not hear anything yesterday. What looked to be an oversight today seems somehow connected to whatever is the reason for the Week 5 challenges to hang at 0 seconds.

Again, this sort of thing is far from unheard of at games-as-service: weekly content updates are a large task for any developer, and it's not surprising that there could be the occasional hiccup even from a developer with Epic's technical competence. The eyes of the world are on fortnite weapons at the moment, however: it is the current craze, and that comes with a level of scrutiny. We've contacted the programmer for comment and will update with any new information. Hopefully, it is fixed soon.

For one thing, you will notice that anything is in there has begun shining red, a sure indication it is mysterious, amazing, evil,or some combination of all 3. My colleague Paul Tassi responded just with"Megatron," stating it looked as an evil robot.
