Fortnite Glitch Robbing Players of Rewards and XP

The latest update for Fortnite is now live and like previous patches, this one is a doozy. Tons of new content has been added to the game, including a little something something for those that celebrate the Easter holiday. Unfortunately, it's not all candies and brightly coloured eggs - many players are reporting not getting their XP or their due rewards due to a newly arisen glitch.

For both fans of the Battle Royale mode and Save the World, the glitch affects everyone. Epic Games recently took to their Twitter account to let players know that they are aware of the issue and are actively investigating it for a quick fix:

The Sniper Shootout v2 LTM isn’t granting rewards, XP, or progress. We're investigating this and will update you once we have more information.

There is an issue with earned rewards not being granted at the end of Save the World missions. We are investigating and will provide an update as soon as we have more information.

The issues being reported, as see above, concerns both XP and player progress, as well as affecting the Save the World mission rewards. Though the team is hard at work on finding out what exactly about the latest update triggered this, the amount of players reporting running into this are mounting so we're definitely crossing our fingers for an immediate solution!
