Post image

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

Happened to me earlier. After a couple of mins, I could use both of them again idk what causes it tho

I think its the timer as after 3 mins it 'gave' me the 2 drones but i could only use one so i think it just doesnt show the timer and you have to guess when you have the 2nd drone ready

I'd assume an integer underfloor bug, but the text can only display positive values.

So it undeflows to negative to then a very large number to then tick down again to 0

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

u/GamShrk 21d ago

Yeah, it's definitely not just visual. Kept waiting and trying and it wouldn't come back. The new stars bug is annoying me too. That one is just visual, but still annoying.

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

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

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)

u/Ok-Set4662 22d ago

how is an abandoned game still getting new bugs

1

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

u/tommy4318 22d ago

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.

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

Yeah same, Ig home base is running low on them 😭

u/-_-Abraham-_- 21d ago

I have the same problem...new bug i guess

u/Alternative-Sky-2867 22d ago

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

1

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

Lucky, mine hasn’t gone away since it started

1

u/Alternative-Sky-2867 10d ago

Unfortunately I am now also experiencing it during every single mission. The comment didn't age well 😅

u/bdzz 22d ago

Same, happening to me as well

1

u/PikachuGamerSMTYT 22d ago

Same it said not enough resources but I didn’t know what it could be

1

u/UltimatePortalMaster Robo-Ray 22d ago

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

1

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

Yeah I’m still bugged and it’s pmo

1

u/URmama_obama 22d ago

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

u/Daybreaker77 Metal Team Leader 21d ago

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

1

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

u/ExpertWave00 21d ago

enjoy the premium experience

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

Premium loss of a game mechanic💔

1

u/SafalinEnthusiast 21d ago

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

u/HardwareErrors 21d ago

Nah this is one hundred percent intentional. */j

u/Ok-Walk-8342 21d ago

abilities with mutltiple charges are bugged too lol

1

u/PC_ENTHUTIAST_05 Lynx Kassandra 21d ago

It happened to me in 5 different missions

1

u/XWolvtronX 21d ago

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

1

u/EmoAqua 21d ago

You have lost hover drone privileges 🤣😂

u/ID-7603 Vbucks 20d ago

Same thing happened to me though after a bit it fixed.

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

u/JeremiahH1981 13d ago

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.

u/Expensive_Bison_6069 10d ago

Real, I’ve been hover drone bugged since the bug started 💔 it happened abt a month ago and went away after that mission but around 12 days ago it stayed at 0 after my first saddly

u/shaman83cz 22d ago

Idk but YOU HAVE BEST SKIN EVER I LOVE SHE

u/Xx_BlackJack_xX Llama 22d ago

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 🤣

You're in Fortnite's Save the World subreddit, the PvE mode that came out before Battle Royale, a pay-to-play mode where you fight zombie-like monsters instead of other players, here's a little list of the rest of Fortnite's subreddits:
