Summary

There is a bug in the game where, upon activating the glow (outline), each player sees other players with the glow color that they themselves have collected, instead of the unique color collected by each player. This issue occurs even though players have collected different glow colors.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a game in Fortnite.
  2. Each player collects a different glow color (e.g., Player 1 collects pink and Player 2 collects green).
  3. Activate the glow (outline) feature to observe other players.
  4. Check the glow color appearing on other players from the perspective of each player.

Expected Result

Players should see each other with the respective glow colors they have collected. For example, if Player 1 collected pink and Player 2 collected green, Player 1 should see Player 2 with a green glow and vice versa.

Observed Result

Players see other players with the same glow color that they themselves have collected. For example, if Player 1 collected pink, they see all other players with a pink glow, and if Player 2 collected green, they see all others with a green glow, regardless of the actual colors collected by those players.

Additional Notes

1- In my game, the glow feature operates on a level-based system, with different levels corresponding to different glow colors (e.g., level 1 for blue, level 2 for green, etc.).
2. The issue appears to be specific to the glow (outline) mode and does not occur in the standard glow mode.
3. The bug affects the gameplay experience, especially in scenarios where recognizing the correct glow color of other players is important.

Attached are screenshots demonstrating the issue, showing players observing each other with incorrect glow colors based on their own collected colors.
