Whirlpool disabled in competitive Fortnite

Epic Games tweeted that Whirlpools would be disabled in Arena as well as Competitive playlists in the game. It has been reported by the community that a bug makes players immune to damage. Thus, it would be very unfair if this bug was exploited to eliminate players in the game without taking any damage.

Due to an issue, we’re temporarily disabling Whirlpools in Arena and Competitive playlists.We’ll provide an update when they have returned. pic.twitter.com/efJ7fzZY5E

Players were disheartened to hear about this abrupt change with respect to Whirlpools, as some of the players had kept Whirlpools in their gameplay and used it as a mobility tool in the game.

This bug should be fixed soon and we will receive an update when Whirlpools will be added back to the arena in the game. It might be fixed in the Fortnite v13.2.1 Patch Notes.

HyperX also revealed the background of the skin on his twitter account, which might be similar to the one we will see in the shop. This skin also brings a long-awaited Marvel collaboration in the game. We have seen Deadpool and other superheroes make their way into the game, and Captain America will be the latest addition to the game.
