Hey gang - when updating Crash Pad Jrs so you can find more, we unintentionally unvaulted Shockwave Grenades too. This has been reverted and Shockwaves are re-vaulted in Battle Royale for now. Expect to see them again soon! (in tomorrow's Power Hour and a special February update... 💘)

@FortniteStatus We just need REAL movement. Crash pad jrs are cool but we need something more. Grappler, grapple glove, nitro, kinetic blade, rift to go, etc were godly mvmnt. The kill bill katana is good IF you can get one. Like at least make that a more common item for the rest of the season.

@FortniteStatus Crash pads are ass, they're always activating when I don't want them to. Unvault shockwaves, there's nothing wrong with them, just a bunch of whiny losers who want everyone to stand still so they they can actually get an elim for the first time ever.

@FortniteStatus no one, & i mean no one wants to see shockwaves leave fortnite. they’ve been in the game for far too long to be removed, it’s mostly everyone’s favorite type of mobility. we don’t want crash pads, we want shockwaves.

Crash pads are more better as team mobility (I love team mobility) and are just more balanced in general. Definitely prefer them.
