A Fortnite bug appears capable of transforming players' harvesting tools into the Bandage Bazooka.

The circumstances causing the bug, reported on the Fortnite subreddit Friday by u/ImDarkyDark, are unknown. The only evidence shown of the bug is a screenshot in which ImDarkyDarky (in-game name ItsDark97) does appear to have a Bandage Bazooka in place of their harvesting tool.

Because there's so little context, it's unlikely Epic Games will be able to diagnose the problem in this particular case. Another player in the comments on ImDarkyDark's post said they'd seen "a lot of issues with pickaxes this Season." Epic Games has not listed any bugs specifically affecting pickaxes on the Trello board it uses to track known bugs.
