Summary
For a while, the Infinity Blade has been having multiple asset issues that make it look broken. This also applies to the Sword in the Stone device.
Even in this update, when the Reforged Infinity Blade, who share a lot of assets with the regular Infinity Blade, this issues are still not solved.
I’ve observed the following:
-
When dropped, it uses the old position for dropped items (slightly rotated, items like Presents still uses this position when spawning weapons and items).
The position should be straight and slightly elevated. -
It no longer rotates when dropped (this is been an issue for a couple chapters now) (also an issue on Reforged Infinity Blade, not sure if intended).
-
It lost it’s iddle sounds when dropped (also an issue on Reforged Infinity Blade, not sure if intended). This not happens in Sword in the Stone.
-
It uses the glowing effects from the Sword in the Stone device, and not it’s own (maybe also an issue on Reforged? Not sure about that one).
It can be easily seen by paying attention to the device’s blade glowing silhouette, which is present and turned upside down. (Better view in photos). -
It lost item Pickup and Drop sounds (also an issue on Reforged Infinity Blade).
-
When using it in edit mode, Sword in the stone equips the phone or the pickaxe instead, also losing the Pickup sound.
-
Iddle sounds when helding are missing (except for the leap Attack, they can be heard only when falling)
-
Iddle VFX (blue glowing flames in the arms) is missing (also missing on Reforged Infinity Blade, not sure if intended).
-
Swing attack completely missing sounds
-
Swing attack makes the whole sword flicker with the effects of Sword in the Stone device.
It should only make glow the tip and gradually fade as it goes down the edge. (Comparison in the video). -
Leap attack does NO damage to players. It makes players jump but it doesn’t make damage. It should do 25.
In the video there’s a comparison of the before and the after of the Infinity Blade (7.10, 40.30) and also the Reforged Infinity Blade.
Screenshots are from Nintendo Switch, they show better the glowing problem.

Additional Notes
I believe this started happening (apart from the rotation, that issue is been around for a while) when Fortnite OG Infinity Blade was added in Fortnite OG: S7. That version had some issues too.
As an additional note, when deleted, it has the VFX of the Infinity Gaunlet despawning (you can see the infinity stones). This been always like this, but I always wondered why that happens.
