Fortnite devs briefly vault Earthbending after rocky Avatar event launch
Fortnite’s latest collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender started from rock bottom this weekend after developers were forced to vault the Mythic Earthbending items in the game for a short while due to an “unknown issue,” leaving players speculating on the cause.
The Earthbending Mythic was “vaulted” (removed from the game) temporarily on April 12 according to Fortnite content creator iFireMonkey on X (formerly Twitter). While there is no official word from developers on why the Earthbending Mythic was vaulted for a few hours, players on the game’s subreddit speculated on various reasons such as the Mythic ability’s on-hit accuracy. “[The] projectile literally never ‘hit’ when it landed on the enemy: Maybe once in a lifetime,” one player said. Another player said the Earthbending ability “covered up your visibility” making it harder to aim.
