Fortnite - Hardboiled Outfits and Gear now available, team still testing Playground mode

While you can enjoy the Hardboiled outfits and gear right now, you'll still have to wait for the return of Playground mode. Epic is still toiling away to get things working right, and they've provided the following update on Reddit.

We have some system performance goals that we believe are required in order to relaunch the Playground LTM. We've continued working towards these goals over the weekend and our most recent load tests look promising, but there are some anomalies in the data that we still need to understand. Aside from the scale tests, there are some other test scenarios we need to investigate, such as:

Exhausting server capacity,

Matchmaking queue back-pressure specific to the LTM,

Recovering when new capacity is added, etc

It's hard to know whether we'll have to make any additional system changes in order to meet our test goals right now. We won’t know that for sure until after we complete our current testing phase, which will be done in a few hours. Once this phase has completed we will know more about where we stand and be able to provide a status update. The team is hard at work and we'll let you know when we have anything else that we can share.
