Dynamite Returns to Fortnite After Being Disabled Earlier Today
By Nicholas Barth ·
Epic Games has announced that the dynamite explosive item that was disabled earlier today has been added back into Fortnite Battle Royale.
Tuesday, November 20th saw Epic Games add the new brand new explosive dynamite weapon of dynamite in Fortnite Battle Royale. However, the developer of Fortnite soon disabled the dynamite when the new explosive item had only been active in the title for less than an hour. However, the official Fortnite Twitter account has restored happiness for players who were excited to try out the new dynamite in Fortnite, as the developer has announced that the weapon has been added back into the battle royale game.

While some players are sure to be happy to see the explosive item added back into Fortnite, there are sure to be many more who are not happy to see Epic Games make sure the explosive item is back in battle royale title. With many members of the community vocally stating that the battle royale game does not need new items and that Epic Games should be focusing on experiencing the core gameplay experience of the title that has taken over the video game industry in the past year.
Got 99 problems, but not having dynamite ain't one. Please make the game work properly. We keep avoiding real issues and adding unnecessary items. I'd rather play this game with 3 guns and have it actually work than 1 million gimmicks. Need a day off stream to recover ? https://t.co/KcjYHZd9xn

Unfortunately for these members of the community, the new explosive weapon is now active on the live servers and will likely stay active unless there is significant negative community feedback over the dynamite in the near future. The past has plenty of examples of weapons and items, such as the guided missile and drum gun, being vaulted by Epic Games after the developer felt pressure to do so from the player base of the massively popular video game.
What are your thoughts on dynamite being in Fortnite? Should Epic Games continue its consistent addition of new weapons and items or should the developer take a break and focus on other issues facing the title? Let us know in the comments below!
