Fortnite Temporarily Disables Precision Air Strike Following Glitch Discovery

Epic Games has temporarily disabled the Precision Air Strike item in Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode after a major glitch was discovered. First reported on August 27, 2025, the issue allowed players to repeatedly activate the item, causing unintended gameplay disruptions and threatening competitive balance.

The Precision Air Strike, introduced in the current season update, enables players to call in a targeted aerial bombardment against opponents. However, the glitch allowed multiple strikes to be deployed in quick succession, overwhelming opponents and creating an unfair advantage. The issue quickly drew attention across the community, with discussions on platforms like Reddit highlighting players’ frustration over the item’s sudden removal.

Epic Games has not announced a timeline for re-enabling the Precision Air Strike. The developer is expected to release a fix to ensure the item functions correctly without compromising gameplay integrity. Players are advised to monitor official Fortnite channels for updates regarding the item’s return and any potential adjustments.
