Stop hanging around Pico Polar. The fortnite sword, the Infinity Blade, has disappeared after the latest adjustments made by the developers of Epic Games in the game servers. And no, this is not a human error. The sword had such a high level of destruction that anyone who got their hands on it was almost assured of their death. Masterful victory.
Where is the Fortnite sword?
After four days since he reached the top of Polar Peak, the Infinity Sword has disappeared due to game balance issues. As you will surely remember, the sword granted the player who carried it no less than 200 health points and 200 shield points, statistics that added to the 75 points of damage per hit and the 50 points of auto regeneration of life per second that were they get, turned this handgun into a potential nuclear bomb.

Obviously, the winning players left the game quite happy, however, those defeated in combat were quick to criticize the imbalance that existed in the game when a player with the famous sword appeared. At Epic they took note, and yesterday they published a statement confirming the error in the game settings, so they have decided to remove it.
hey folks,
We messed up and rolled out the overpowered Infinity Blade / without good counters, especially in the end game.
The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items.
Thanks for calling us out on this!

Will it be available again?
The interesting thing about the matter is that the object has been taken to the disaster drawer of removed items (they call the process vaulted or warehouse), and taking into account that this place is normally a point of no return, there are still doubts as to whether the sword will return one day or if, on the contrary, it has disappeared forever after this episode of imbalance and selfishness of power. The object has not been in the game for more than four days, so it is normal that the appropriate adjustments are made and it will be available again soon, however, Epic has not commented on it for now. What is clear is that the players are happier at the moment, since the disappearance of the sword has returned to recover tranquility on the island, more balanced and with the same competitiveness as always. Although of course, still there are those planes...
