We’ll take a look. Thank you for the report!

Any update on this one?

This is a MASSIVE blocker for Skybox 2.

We are in Early Release and tbh releasing without these could be problematic.

Any update on this one?

The Turret and Launch Pad are very important in a few of our game loops and having entire items removed from creative randomly is a scary situation to be in as creators.

Let me check!

This has been reproduced here and assigned to a team for investigating. I’ll be sure they get the ticket updated to reflect that.

Thank you for the quick response!

Hoping to see this addressed soon as we are days away from the Skybox 2 Re-Release!

Flak · April 29, 2025, 7:52pm

Not to be a downer, but I wouldn’t expect it in the next update.

DWDFN · May 2, 2025, 3:27pm

To be fair, I didn’t expect it!

This is still an issue, we are unable to allow players to use these items in public matches still.
Not having these two traps for over a month and a half is frustrating.

FORT-889625 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 36.20.

Just incase my messages privately didn’t hit this side, this issue is still happening.

We are technically in 36.10 not 36.20

Flak · June 24, 2025, 8:51pm

36.20 is coming in a few weeks. As a heads up, this may not be fixed until 36.30, but a fix is coming!

Thanks for all of the detail here folks!
