Removed Features

Since the release of Fortnite: Battle Royale, there have been a number of features that were removed from the game. These features may have been replaced, or permanently removed for a variety of reasons. These are unlike Vaulted Items, as all items in this list are not present in the game files.

Items
The following items previously existed in the game, but have since been removed, with their inclusion stripped from the game files. The last seen dates are either approximiate, or when the item was last seen in game. The items themselves were removed from the files at an unknown date. The items above can only be theorised as to why they have been removed, but some have been replaced by other items filling a similar role. For example:


 * The Wall Dynamo and Ceiling Zapper were replaced by the Damage Trap's new function to be placed on all surfaces.
 * The Directional Jump Pads were replaced by Bouncers which enabled fast movement with the help of a trap.

Other items such as the Zapatron were removed due to an oversight from Developers in regards to gameplay balance. The Eye of the Storm tracker on the other hand was added mistakenly to the game. However, items such as the Guided Missile and TNTina's Ka-Boom Bow appear to have been removed for no apparent reason, as their function was balanced and they could have been added to the Fortnite: Creative inventory very easily.

Player-model Physics
Player-model Physics refers to a gameplay mechanic added with the launch of Season 6. It was removed shortly after launch, due to its controversial nature, and age rating, citing it to be an 'error'. The issue specifically involved the outfit Calamity, where certain parts of her model would have specific physics attached to them, resulting in a issue that was not age appropriate for the game.

Shout Emotes
Shout Emotes were an unreleased script that would have allowed the player to produce a text bubble above their head with a specific message, similar to both Emoticons and the way a Character displays dialogue. These were never implemented into the game, and the code for them was removed sometime in Chapter 2: Season 2.
