Bass Boost Gauntlets Bugged in Creative 1.0

Summary

The Bass Boost Gauntlets are currently not functioning correctly in Creative 1.0. Their abilities no longer launch or boost the player through the air, and they no longer affect other players when used against them.

When attempting to use the gauntlets’ abilities, the character performs the appropriate animation, but remains stationary and receives no boost or launch effect. Additionally, hitting another player with the gauntlets does not produce the intended knockback or other gameplay effect.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Fortnite Creative 1.0.
  2. Add or obtain the Bass Boost Gauntlets.
  3. Equip the gauntlets.
  4. Use the gauntlets’ ability that is intended to launch or boost the player into the air.
  5. Observe the player’s movement.
  6. Use the gauntlets against another player.
  7. Observe whether the other player is affected by the gauntlets’ ability.

Expected Result

The Bass Boost Gauntlets should perform their intended gameplay effects when their abilities are used.

  • The player should be launched or boosted through the air when using the appropriate ability.
  • Other players hit by the gauntlets should be affected by the intended knockback or gameplay effect.
  • The abilities should function consistently with their behavior outside of Creative 1.0.

Observed Result

The Bass Boost Gauntlets play their intended character animations, but the actual gameplay effects do not occur.

  • The player remains in the same location instead of being launched or boosted through the air.
  • Other players are not affected when hit by the gauntlets.
  • The gauntlets appear to be performing the animation without applying the associated gameplay effects.

Additional Notes

This issue appears to affect both the self-launch/boost functionality and the player-to-player interaction of the Bass Boost Gauntlets. The fact that the animations still play while the gameplay effects do not occur may indicate that the ability is triggering visually but its movement and player-affecting effects are not being applied in Creative 1.0.
