FortniteMaster Community Content Spotlight - December 14th, 2018Welcome to our December 14th Community Content Spotlight, featuring several Fortnite related artwork, highlights, videos, and other content that has been posted across social media channels or submitted to us!
If you would like us to feature your content, we welcome you to follow us and send us submissions @FNMasterCom. Several pieces will be chosen by our content team weekly.
As an additional note: FortniteMaster is collecting highlight clips to use for a new Fortnite highlights series on our YouTube channel! If you have any highlights plays you would like featured, please send them to us on Twitter, Facebook, or just post them in the comment section here!
This first piece we chose for this week’s spotlight is this 3D printed Crackshot from the Season 7 intro cinematic made by /u/minmat66. It’s always impressive to see these Fortnite items and characters turned into real figures with 3D printing. Not to mention this looks like the perfect nutcracker for any kids who love Fortnite. Now we just want to know if it can actually crack walnuts like a real nutcracker.
The second piece for today is /u/doaoahgh’s cute drawing of Pikachu’s dressed as Fortnite skins making a snowman. What better way to kick off the Winter season than a Pokémon and Fortnite crossover?! Pikachu’s dressed as every Season 7 battle pass skin is something that we didn’t know we needed until we saw it. Check out their YouTube channel for more drawings of Pikachu as Fortnite skins.
Next up we have this Trailer for all Season 7 Battle Pass skins by /u/JyeunJyeun, aka SushiiFilms. This is a really cool idea in the first place, and it’s made even better by the fact that these are some of the best battle pass skins to date. We especially love how each skin was presented with their own mini-story that fits perfectly with their persona.
The fourth piece we chose for today is this meme edit of Season 7 Mayhem by /u/Rayditzfn. The Fortnite gameplay is good and all, but the sheer number of memes in this video is awe-inspiring. The depth of this editor’s meme library is truly impressive.
The last piece we chose for this week’s spotlight is this house with Fortnite-themed Christmas decorations posted by /u/mediocre_manikin. This household really went all out with the decorations, complete with full-sized versions of five Christmas skins, a llama, and a giant picture of the battle royale map. There have been a handful of reposts of this same house, which resides on Candy Cane Lane in Torrance, California. So, feel free to go check it out if you live nearby!
That's it for today's FortniteMaster Community Spotlight! As usual, we hope you all give some of these talented creators some love! Remember, if you would like something of yours featured, please Tweet your submissions @FNMasterCom or post on our Discord and we will consider them for next week's version! communitya day ago:max_bytes(300)/content/image/91def422-32f7-4f3f-ac20-6d213b899d6e.png)

Heya folks,We messed up and rolled out the Infinity Blade overpowered / without good counters, especially in the end game. The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items.Thanks for calling us out on this!— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) December 14, 2018
After countless complaints over the three days, the Infinity Blade has been vaulted. Initially, Epic's response to the problem was to try to nerf and balance the item as they had plans to add more Mythic items into the game. This was met with severe community backlash, leading to the removal of the weapon.
For the purposes of record keeping, we will leave the information below such that players may look back on this episode in the future.
----------------------------------------
The Infinity Blade was released in Fortnite last night with the v7.01 Patch, generating a ton of buzz on social media and already producing many highlight clips and videos. So if you haven't yet figured it out, what is it? And how do you get it?
var scriptExists = document.querySelector('#twitter-script-hack');

Here's the Infinity Blade in action against players. (via IIJakeyII) pic.twitter.com/alBtIwpq5K— Fortnite Battle Royale Leaks & News (@Fortnite_BR) December 11, 2018
As you can see, each kill restores 50 shield or hp.
The Infinity Blade functions similarly to the Thanos Infinity Gauntlet back in June. Only one spawns in each lobby on Polar Peak as marked on this map here:
To get the Infinity Blade, you simply have to go to where the sword is and do a short channel:
When you finish the channel, you instantly gain 200 shield and 200 hp. Furthermore, you get a movement speed bonus as you run around. The Infinity Blade replaces your Primary Fire and ADS button with two actions: a 3-part sword swing combo and a dash. Each swing does 75 damage, while the dash does 25. The dash has no cooldown.
Both abilities instantly destroy any buildings or structures they touch. The swings farm all the mats of anything it destroys:
You can also adjust the direction of the ADS leap:
Currently, the area surrounding the sword is one of the hottest drops at the moment, but if you manage to get the sword, good luck and have fun!
Some more clips of the blade:
var scriptExists = document.querySelector('#twitter-script-hack');
var self = document.querySelector('.twitter-script-hack-class');
if (scriptExists) scriptExists.remove();
var script = document.createElement('script');

The Infinity Blade is unreal. @psalmHotS went from 5 kills to 12 kills in the #WinterRoyale in less than a minute. Holy shit. pic.twitter.com/W0OgYTWRMh— FortniteMaster | Stats, Guides, Esports, News (@FNMasterCom) December 11, 2018
EDIT: We've been discussing the Infinity Blade on Twitter in this tweet below. Feel free to chime in with any thoughts you might have!
var scriptExists = document.querySelector('#twitter-script-hack');
var self = document.querySelector('.twitter-script-hack-class');

Now that the Infinity Blade has been out for a day, we would like to have a discussion about it:▶️Are there viable methods to counter it?▶️If we consider it OP, are there nerfs we can do (putting a cooldown on the dash for example) that can make it healthy for the game? pic.twitter.com/FOZa4V77kz— FortniteMaster | Stats, Guides, Esports, News (@FNMasterCom) December 12, 2018
