The post clearly resonated with the community, as did other enthusiasts Fortnite players revealed that they encountered the exact same error. Reddit user GalickGunn said the same thing happened to them two weeks ago while playing with their son.

It's not the first time Fortnite players have experienced a bug with the Marvel weapon, and it likely won't be the last. While there's no way to know for sure what's causing this frustrating error, one Reddit user speculated that the problem is related to server desynchronization. They explained that the server probably couldn't determine the exact position of the players in time, so the location defaults to 0, which is where the battle bus appears at the start of the game.
