Expected Result

The flare gun or (firework flare gun) should have an infinite number of flares to shoot.

Platform(s)

PC

Additional Notes

This may effect other platforms too, but I know for sure it does on PC, as PC is the platform I play Fortnite on. Also, I’m unsure of the category of bug this should be set as, so I selected asset as the type of bug I reported this as. I was thinking of reporting it as a “device” type bug report, but the flare gun and firework flare gun don’t appear in the “devices” tab of the Creative menu (it’s in the “weapons” tab instead, but there’s no selection of “weapons” in the bug report type, so I went with “assets” instead).

We’re aware of this issue and we’re working on a fix
