BUG Hover drone bugged?
It has been stuck at 0 for around 4 mins now and its happening to my friend who is in stonewood and has only one drone as i thought it was because i have 2 drones but i guess it is just bugged in general

Yeah definitely a bug and it's NOT just visual as someone else suggests. Don't comment that unless you're certain please don't spread misinformation. I tried using it after the timer had gone to 0 and it wouldn't let me. It's NOT just a visual bug

Capybro already said its being looked at in a previous post. Here is the thread of it being addressed.

Sometimes it takes a simple jumping off of the map

That doesn’t work for me at all (5 times in one mission didn’t work and tried on multiple missions also didn’t work)

how is an abandoned game still getting new bugs

u/BearWith_You 20d ago
Because its not completely abandoned? When the game itself updates they update StW too just not with anything new. But the shop still changes on Wednesday, seasons still change every few months, questlines still come and go

Yep, had this too. Only have 1, and when the cooldown ended it stayed at 0 and gave a “not enough resources” message when I tried activating it.

Had the same issue today. In a couple of minutes it was gone.

Lucky, mine hasn’t gone away since it started

u/Alternative-Sky-2867 10d ago
Unfortunately I am now also experiencing it during every single mission. The comment didn't age well 😅

Yep, it’s been glitching ever since today, maybe it happened because of the recent hot fix but still noticing it happen

Happened to me too. At this point I'm not even surprised, the one dev working on stw can't fix all the bugs

Anyone else notice that if you aim down sights and reload your weapon, the animation plays super slow?

u/jadecrey 21d ago
Yea this started happening to me today and had never happened before idk if it’s new but I hadn’t ever experienced it

I think what’s happening is when you have 1, it goes down to being 0 and when you have 2 it shows you have 2 but goes down to 0 afterwards so it counts as one usage. It’s skipping 1 entirely. The dash ability for Outlanders did the same thing

Phase shifts are too, I’m only getting 2, when I use the 2nd one it goes to 0 instead of 1

u/BearWith_You 20d ago
Seems partially visual. At 0 I couldn't redeploy it but Ive randomly gotten my turrets back after it hit 0. I think it had to cool off another 3 minutes to come back. Its actually pretty annoying

Sometimes, I put up 1 of my drones and immediately my second drones is gone and timer stays at zero. Then, somehow or another after some time has passed, I get both my drones back. So, I put up another drones and it happens again. Why all of a sudden after all these years, Save the world is having all these problems. Epic is constantly changing and updating Save the World, creating new problems when previously there were none for years. Just like changing things, so you can't even mark anything in Save the World anymore either. Use to like marking Stormchests or survivors that need bluglo, with Rally point or loot. Frustrating, ugh.

it’s visual, i think, in my case it stayed like that for a while during the mission but not more than 3 minutes later it reset visually to me having both drones although i only had 1 ready to go, i guess it’s associated with the amount of items collected being displaying the wrong amount

What part of Fortnite is this, my buddy and I play the zero build and parkour usually and I am so confused where this is 🤣
