In Fortnite: Battle Royale was very popular. Now it is gone and its fans are sad. Epic promises improvements soon.
What happened to the Kugler? The Kugler in Fortnite is a type of hamster ball vehicle. It is very popular and provided great fun for many players. However, in a tweet, the developers announced that the fun hamster ball would be disabled until further notice.
What are the reasons for the Kugler shutdown?
Epic did not specify concrete reasons for this measure. It seems to be related to stability issues.
This could be behind it: Recently, there were repeated reports of players shooting themselves with a Kugler to absurd heights. They then rolled across the sky and could cover long distances at a safe height. A glitch that was certainly not intended by the developer and was to be fixed.
When will the Kugler return? Epic did not provide a date, but plans to bring back the Kugler as soon as the issue is resolved. It really is just a temporary removal from the game.
Community is concerned about the Kugler
What the community says: Many players love the Kugler and all the fun stunts and memes that could be made with it. Kugler fans find it quite dumb that this vehicle is now out of the game. They are afraid it might never come back or be missing for a long time. Similar issues occurred with the Driftboard in Season 7.
However, some players hate the Kugler and are celebrating that the fun hamster ball is no longer in the game. It is particularly unpopular among professionals, and some players complain that people roll around with Kuglers and thus do not participate in the game until the endgame.
What do you think about the Kugler and its removal from the game? Are you glad it is finally gone or do you miss it already?
Update 21:30: Fortnite has reactivated the Kugler, they report.
