Additional Notes
There are a few reasons for this issue occurring, for Exotic rarity items it is because they did not use seven stars until Chapter 6 of Fortnite Battle Royale, for some of the Mythic rarity items it is because they we’re duplicated off of their Legendary variants without consideration of the item tier.
The fix for this should be changing the tier in the item definition data asset, the star count corresponds to a roman numeral in the item tier data section:
I = 1 Star
II = 2 Stars
III = 3 Stars
IV = 4 Stars
V = 5 Stars
VI = 6 Stars
VII = 7 Stars
Certain Items lack the Item Tier Data entirely, these are only the items introduced in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 7 Season 1 and occurs across all rarities of the following items:
Deadeye Assault Rifle
Arc-Lightning Gun
Lock On Assault Rifle
