Fortnite Not Granting Rewards And Progress In Some Modes [Update]

It's a big day for Fortnite, as a sizable update has been released that brings new additions and changes to both Battle Royale and Save the World. However, some issues have cropped up in the wake of its release that are causing players to not accumulate progress and rewards when playing two different modes. [Update: Epic says that both the Battle Royale and Save the World glitches have been fixed, and the game should now properly record the progress made in all modes.]

Developer Epic Games has confirmed on Twitter and through an in-game notification that Battle Royale's new limited-time mode Sniper Shootout v2 is not properly granting XP, rewards, or progress. "We're investigating this and will update you once we have more information," Epic said. There's no word on if any of this will be offered retroactively, so if you're insistent on leveling up or knocking out the new Week 6 challenges, you should play a different mode for the time being.

Save the World, the paid early-access PvE mode of Fortnite, is also affected by its own similar problem: Rewards aren't being paid out as they should at the end of missions. Epic says it's also aware of this and will share more information once it has further details.

Problems aside, there is a lot to took forward to in the newly released 3.4 update. Battle Royale has gotten the new Guided Missile weapon, and the Boogie Bomb has returned after being disabled for a period of time. Other improvements and fixes have also been made, and Epic has eliminated the 30 FPS option from consoles as it feels that the 60 FPS is the best way to play.
