‘Fortnite’ Disables Boogie Bomb Due to Bug in 3.3 Update

Updating a game on a weekly basis comes with its challenges, and Fortnite has unfortunately run into a minor issue with the Boogie Bomb in update 3.3, and as such the unique grenade is temporarily disabled. This all happened through a server-side update, so there’s no client update necessary, though you might see some files downloading before you next launch Fortnite on whichever platform you decide to play it on.

If you’re new to Fortnite, the Boogie Bomb forces opponents to dance, leaving them primed for you to take them out, and I don’t mean on a date.

Fortnite is having some occasional server issues after the iOS launch, which might be why they have a staggered loadout. There might be some login issues on the Friday afternoon after the game’s initial mobile release.

A few new cosmetic items are in the game’s store as well. With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, you can get some leprechaun-themed items. The Sgt. Green Clover outfit costs 800 V-Bucks, and the Pot O’Gold Harvesting Tool runs 1200 V-Bucks. 1000 V-Bucks costs $9.99, though more expensive packs come with bonus V-Bucks, but still: one V-Buck roughly equals $0.01 USD.

Also now in the shop is the Flippin’ Sexy emote for 500 V-Bucks. This emote might provide an interesting advantage, because early users found it was possible to use it to lay low in cover or cancel the emote while in midair with a gunshot. While Epic will likely patch the game if it proves to give players some kind of advantage, it might be worth the 500 V-Bucks to mess around with it.

V-Bucks purchasing is active in the mobile version, so you can buy your Battle Pass and any other cosmetics your heart desires. The Battle Pass awards V-Bucks and other cosmetics as you gain experience. While you will have to play a lot to max out your Battle Pass, it will pay for itself in V-Bucks over time, so you can buy some extra cosmetic items or essentially just keep having the Battle Pass pay for itself! Fortnite‘s Invite Event for iOS is live now, and you can sign up to get on the waitlist to get access to the game.
