Epic Games have announced they have vaulted the Infinity Blade found in Fortnite Battle Royale.
Since the weapon was introduced in v7.01 early this week, players have been complaning about how overpowered the weapon is. Epic addressed this in a Reddit post yesterday, stating they will be make a change in the v7.10 update.
However, Epic have just tweeted out stating they have vaulted the Infinity Blade as they feel it was overpowered without any good counters to it, especially in the end game. The Blade has been vaulted and Epic will re-evaluate their apporach with Mythic Items.
Heya folks,
We messed up and rolled out the Infinity Blade overpowered / without good counters, especially in the end game.
The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items.
Thanks for calling us out on this!
