A video is going viral, showing what happens when the Yoda back bling is used in conjunction with the Zoidberg emote in Fortnite.
The leaked Fortnite roadmap has so far correctly predicted every recent new collaboration, including the fact that Star Wars took over Fortnite with a new world and new skins for Star Wars Day last weekend.
One of the cosmetic items, however, is causing issues when paired with the Zoidberg dancing emote, from the Futurama TV series.
If you equip the Yoda back bling and do the Zoidberg emote your game will likely crash and possibly others’ games too, which has forced Fortnite to remove the item altoegther.
A video is going viral on Twitter, that shows a player use the Yoda back bling and Zoidberg dancing emote at the same time, in Battle Royale, before their game crashes.
After the dancing emote is finished animating, the back bling (Yoda sitting in a basket on the player’s back, like he does with Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back) disappears and the player is sent back to their desktop.
Fortnite content creator iFireMonkey posted the video, adding: ‘There are also reports that this will crash people in your squad’s games as well.’
Developer and publisher Epic Games acknowledged the game-breaking glitch and said it was investigating the matter, and later decided to remove the cosmetic altogether, saying:
‘Due to an issue that may have been causing crashes for some players, we’ve temporarily disabled the Yoda back bling while the team is working on a fix.
‘We’ve also removed Yoda, Disassembled C-3PO, and Dagobah Luke from the shop.’
It’s not the first time emotes have caused troubled in Fortnite, as Epic Games recently added an option to turn off ‘controversial emotes’, so as to not upset players.
The Yoda glitch also had to be dealt with, especially if it crashes other players’ games too. There is no fix yet, and there’s not much time left either as the Star Wars collaboration ends Tuesday, 14 May, in Battle Royale.
