### Summary

Using the Grapple Glove causes the camera to become abnormally wide-angled (fisheye effect) and distant from the player.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

### Steps to Reproduce

Start the game on the island.

Equip and use the Grapple Glove.

Observe that the camera becomes extremely wide-angled and pulls away from the player.

(Optional) Getting eliminated while this bug is active sometimes resets the camera back to normal.

### Expected Result

The camera Field of View (FOV) and distance should remain normal when using the Grapple Glove, without any permanent distortion.

### Observed Result

When using the Grapple Glove, the camera view shifts into an extreme wide-angle, creating a fisheye lens effect, and moves far away from the player character. However, if the player is eliminated while in this state, the camera view occasionally reverts to its normal state.
