The most recent Unvaulting event in Fortnite was extremely buggy and players were unable to witness the event properly in the game. As an apology for the bugs, Epic Games is offering players a free glider to compensate them as they were unable to witness the long-awaited in-game event.
Epic is giving away the Arcana Glider which is normally worth 1,200 V-Bucks in Fortnite to all players who were present in the Unvaulting Playlist. The glider will be given to all players on the list whether they participated in the event or could not because of the technical issues. If a player has already purchased the Arcana Glider from the in-game store, their V-Bucks will be restored.
Last year, the Unvaulting event took players when players went to Loot Lake and vote for their favorite item to be unvaulted. Players brought back Drum Gun to the item pool from last night’s Unvaulting event. However, due to some serious technical issues, not everyone was able to witness the event even if they joined the playlist.
We apologize that some players were unable to view the Unvaulting event. Anyone who jumped into the Unvaulting playlist will be granted the Arcana Glider in the coming days. Players who purchased the Arcana Glider previously will be refunded their V-Bucks.

Epic Games has since then issued a formal apology to everyone affected by the technical issues and have announced that the Arcana Glider will be given to everyone in the playlist free of cost in the coming weeks. Last night we also saw the volcano finally erupting in Fortnite which took out Tilted Towers and Retail Row.
Season 8 is about to end and Season 9 is about to start in a week. At this point, we have very little information on what the next season will bring to the game. Hopefully, it will be revealed soon because Epic has the habit of teasing the next season with Tweets before the season is properly unveiled.

Marking the end of Season 8, the Overtime Challenges are also now live in Fortnite. Endgame LTM is ending soon as well so if you still want to unlock some Avengers themed items in Fortnite, time is running out.
