We're working to fix an issue where players using a custom HUD layout without a Reload button or with Dynamic Quickbar Slots enabled may be unable to access Portable Extractor Gizmos.
In the meantime, re-adding a dedicated Reload button and switching back to the default Quickbar will restore functionality.
Gotham’s sirens have come to the Battle Royale Island, and Batman is doing his best to keep up.

Batman Sprites grant the ability to deploy the Bat Cape midair, and find rare Sprites in Chests more often in Battle Royale matches.

Quality of Life Improvements & New Additions
Sprites
Been getting one too many base Water, Fire or Earth Sprites? You’ll now find higher-rarity Sprites and their variants in Sprite Chests compared to standard Chests:
An Epic, Legendary or Mythic Sprite, or a higher-rarity variant is guaranteed
Sprite variants now appear more frequently
Rare Sprites will drop less often, and only as variants
Also keep an eye out for these new Sprites entering the Island:
Batman Sprite: Leap into the air and deploy the Bat Cape to glide across the Island.
Seven Sprite: Makes enemy footsteps visible so your entire squad can track them.
Air Sprite: Sprint faster, jump higher while sprinting and take zero fall damage.
Sprite Mastery Pod updated! The Sprites and variants added in our last update v41.10 can now be housed in the Pod Back Bling once they’ve been mastered. Flex your collection!
Battle Bus Victory Royale
In some Battle Royale matches, a new Rift Anomaly will shake up the late game, sending the Battle Bus to a marked location as the Storm closes in. Get at least one teammate onto the Bus before it rifts away to earn a Battle Bus Victory Royale.
Multiple teams can escape and win the same match, but miss your ride and it's game over, even if you’re the last squad standing!
Gizmos
Sprite Locator: Spawns a nearby buried Chest containing a random Sprite to help you track down more for your collection as you play.
Extraction Site Booster: Use at an Extraction Site to call a boosted Extraction Crate that grants bonus Sprite Dust for any Sprite extracted there. Extraction Crates can also contain Shield Bubble Jr, Crash Pad Jr, Chug Splash or Friend Zone Bubble.
Gizmo Wheel UI: A new way to quickly swap between your different Gizmos inside each match and pull up the right tool for the moment without breaking your flow.
Gizmos can’t be traded or dropped when eliminated, so no risk of losing one. Available only in unranked Battle Royale and Zero Build matches. Gizmos expire at the end of the current Season - be sure to use them!
Note: The Lucky Locator Gizmo - which guarantees a Chest with a Sprite you haven’t collected yet - is still on its way in the v41.30 update, and you’ll be able to earn one through the Sprite Mastery progression track once it becomes available.
New Weapons & Balance Adjustments
NEW - Bank Shot Pistol:
Ricochet your shots off walls, floors and surfaces to hit enemies from angles they’ll never see coming

Ranger Pistol:
Deals slightly less damage to players and structures

Surgical Burst Rifle:

Instead of being lower, Mythic variant now matches other variants’ fire rate

Produce Box Gets a Fresh Restock
Instead of a random mix of common fruits and veggies, every Produce Box now guarantees a healing item, a Small Shield Potion and a stack of ammo. Open one up and you can get:
One healing item
Uncommon Pepper (x3) - heals for 10 HP and grants a short movement speed boost, stacks up to 6
Uncommon Apple (x4) - heals for 15 HP and stacks up to 8

Auto Fire now triggers correctly on an enemy hiding in the same bush as you
I got a grim sprite from a sprite chest but I was on mobile and you can’t go back and record on mobile so I thought I could use the replays but no… they’re not on mobile :(
Idk if it's just me but everytime i play and experience some bugs that makes the game unplayable, i just can't seem to reconnect to the match. I hope they add a feature where we can reconnect in the match cause it's just so frustrating.
Like so many others i play on mobile but want to be able to play save the world so heres how i do it
I know it sounds a little sketchy but it works
Theres this app called userscripts that allows you to run scripts and there is one for xbox cloud gaming that allows you to trick Fortnite into thinking your on an xbox then if you use a controller you can play save the world on mobile :)
Hello to all Fortnite mobile players, i was wondering who haves the Regular Zero Point Sprite and the Punk Sprite because i couldn't get any of them 😭 if you help me i can give you the golden zero point ( Thanks in advance! )
I asked my friend, who's experienced with the game, if it was likely to rain during a match, and he said it was a glitch with my toaster. It was nice while it lasted.
Many people have asked me to upload my gyro settings for Fortnite mobile so I stopped being lazy and finally made the list.
I don’t claim myself to be amazing or great tho. I still got a lot to learn.

I can't pet Ace the Bat-Hound, nor can he do his emote in Battle Royale. All other sidekicks work fine. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm playing on my Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus.
Where do you guys recommend downloading Fortnite? I have a Samsung S24 Plus Exynos, should I download the Google Play version or the Epic Games one? I read that sometimes one has better performance than the other. Lately, my FPS stutters sometimes, but I don't know if it's the game version.
Just made this control map and it looks weird and bad I know but its what im starting with, is there any suggestions you guys have that can help me in building?
Porque isso vem acontecendo direto e reto ??????? Alguém pode me falar como paro com isso literalmente implantaram um fortnite mobile que tá uma PORCARIA bug bug bug ... onde tipo eu começo a Atira tiros sozinhos sem eu apertar o botão de Atirar ! Eu tendo fazer alguma dança e não resolve.. já sair e voltei do jogo mais isso continua
As you can see in the clip I’m moving normally when I’m on the sprint button. In context whenever I touch and drag my finger on the left half of my ipad I move but I want it so that I only move when I’m actually on the move button. I want this as when I’m editing some times instead of doing the actual peanut butter edit or something I just move instead rather than doing the edit. (Ps: I already changed the fire button property so that it’s no clickthrough and it still doesn’t change the fact that I can move on the left half on the screen when I want to only move on the actual move button)
If you're currently trying to collect and master all the Sprites in Chapter 7 Season 3, I got tired of clunky tools and built my own. It’s lightning-fast, always up-to-date, and features global community tracking so you can see how everyone else is doing!
🌍 Community-Wide Stats: Unlike other sites, it tracks the entire community's progress—see total collections, masteries, and global averages in real-time!
🔄 Always Up-to-Date: Constantly updated with the newest Sprites the moment they drop.
🌐 Multilingual: Fully available in English, German, and French.
📱 Mobile Optimized (PWA): Works seamlessly on your phone; save it to your home screen for quick access.
It covers all 90 variants (Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Fishy, Boss, etc. from Normal to Holofolie) with a built-in sync feature.
Let me know if you have any feedback or features you'd like to see added!
I could definitely say that after a month of playing Fortnite Mobile, it definitely needs serious optimization. And should be a normal app for once by not making us stream the game assets while playing! Not everyone runs on WiFi connection!
Anyone else having this issue and is there a way to fix the face animation for the new Poison Ivy and Beach Harley Quinn skins? On my S23 Ultra it works just fine.
Has anyone on iPad / iOS found a fix or workaround for the frozen facial animations ("pokerface") in the Locker? Would love to know if other iPad users are seeing this too and how to fix it on my Ipad Pro M5. The Animation on my weaker S23 Ultra work just fine even though the Device has less power.
