Summary

I was trying to access the map 0785-3039-0603.
However when I try to search for the map from within the game or from fortnite.com I can’t find it.
But when I log out from fortnite.com, set my region to USA via VPN and search for the same map, I can find it.
As soon as I log in (with the region still set to USA) I can’t find the map anymore.

Therefore the map seems to be region locked. Same happens for map 8425-5139-2527 (Ninja Aim Dojo).

Expected Result

Additional Notes

I am not using the VPN while playing the actual game! :blush:

Hey H_Mercurius,

Sounds like an iARC rating issue, check out a tutorial on filling out iARC, republish and redo questionnaire.

I had a map locked to almost everywhere, until I found out what exact iARC thing I should be doing, now I’m only blocked from Russia.

Thank you for your reply. However I am not the owner the maps.
