Fortnite recently made a change by secretly removing the train, which has had a major impact on gameplay. One of the effects of this update is that the Mythic Hollow Twister AR is now vaulted. The only way to obtain this weapon was by being the first person to capture the train. With the Fortnite train removed, there is no other way to acquire the Mythic Hollow Twister AR.
Many players have been asking if there is an alternate way to obtain this weapon. Unfortunately, the answer is no. The removal of the train means there is currently no method to get the Mythic Hollow Twister AR. The reason behind this decision is confusing to some players because Fortnite hasn’t given an official explanation.
Why Was the Fortnite Train Removed?
Often when Fortnite removes something, it’s due to a bug. In this case, there was an invincibility bug where players could glitch into the train by building into the corner. Many comments and discussions in the Fortnite community agree that this bug was the main reason for the train’s removal. It’s worth noting that this bug has existed since Chapter 6, so it’s not a new issue.
Some players assumed the train’s removal was related to the Godzilla update because both changes happened around the same time. However, this is not accurate. The train was vaulted after the Godzilla update, and the two events are unrelated. To clarify, the Godzilla content rolled out earlier, and the train was removed later, around 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. This timeline shows that the train’s removal had nothing to do with Godzilla.
Players commenting on videos and social media have speculated about the reasons for the train’s removal. A screenshot from Aussie Antics’ discussion confirms the invincibility bug as the primary cause. Many players agree that this decision makes sense to prevent the bug from being abused.
Another point of confusion for players is why the train was removed from Zero Build mode. Since the bug required building, it would seem that Zero Build should be unaffected. However, it’s unclear if Fortnite has the ability to vault the train for one mode without affecting others.
Will the Train Return?
Some players believe the train might remain vaulted for the rest of the season. However, this is unlikely. The Godzilla update is expected to stay in the game until the season’s end, but the train’s removal was due to a bug, not a content update. Once the bug is fixed, it’s reasonable to expect the train’s return.
Fortnite’s decision to vault the train rather than leave the bug in the game aligns with their approach to similar issues in the past. It’s better to remove a feature temporarily than to allow players to exploit a game-breaking bug.
Gameplay Adjustments
For those who enjoyed using the train to capture the Mythic Hollow Twister AR, the removal is disappointing. The train’s absence has changed strategies and impacted the game’s dynamics. Players hoping for the weapon’s return will need to wait for Fortnite to resolve the issue.
In the meantime, the Godzilla update continues to bring new content and challenges. Some players initially thought the train was removed as part of this update, but as mentioned earlier, this is not the case. The train’s removal happened after the Godzilla update and is entirely unrelated.
