Fortnite apologizes to the community
Some users of Fortnite could not participate in the “Unvaulting” event that took place on May 4th. The developers have reported that they will prepare a record of the event so that the players can watch it. They also give the Arcana glider to all the people who couldn’t participate. Everyone will receive the glider who try to enter event mode but couldn’t join it. If the hang-glider is already in your collection, the developers will compensate by giving you V-bucks.
