Fortnite has disabled the Deku Smash ability in a𒁃n attempt to resolve an iss🔯ue.

As per the announcement via the tweet below, earlier today on December 21, the Deku Smash ability was taken out of Fortnite with immediate effect. Currently, there's no word on what issue exactly 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games is hoping tꦚo resolve by taking out the ability from the b▨attle royale game.

for updates straight from the development team.

This will no doubt be a blow to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite players who loved using D🐠e𓄧ku Smash, which was summarily declared overpowe🧸red last week when it was added to the game. The ability works as a barrage of ranged projectiles, homing in on a certain point to deal huge damage to buildings, vehicles, and players alike. Considering you can just happen upon the Deku Smash ability in any old chest, it's easy to see why it was quickly declared OP.

Deku and the rest of the My Hero Academia characters just joined Fortnite less than a week ago. You can currently purchase Deku, Bakugo, Uraraka, and All Might (in his two forms) in the gamܫe's item stor🥂e, and if you're willing to pony up the cash for a bundle containing all four, you'll get other MHA-themed cosmetic items like Back Bling and a glider.
