Notes

Notes[]

  • B.A.S.E. takes Priority on the Floor Trap selection-wheel (i.e. at the top center) when placing floor traps.
    • Unfortunately, Fortnite's history of patches and updates periodically introduces (and re-introduces) a game-breaking bug where B.A.S.E. is given LOWEST priority; thereby preventing the deployment of the B.A.S.E..
      • Game Developers' suggested workarounds are:
        1. Easiest and best solution is to always maintain less than 8 Stacks of Floor Traps.
        2. Switch the trap icon next to pyramids until it lands on B.A.S.E.
        3. Try to place a Floor Trap on an edited floor to get it to show up.
