The Issue
Bring Back Item Dropping in Fortnite: Save the World!
Fortnite: Save the World used to be more than just fighting husks, completing missions, and collecting weapons. One of the biggest things that made the game enjoyable was the ability to drop and share items with other players.
Whether it was giving weapons to friends, helping beginners, sharing materials, or trading rare weapons, item dropping was a huge part of the Save the World experience.
Trading boxes, 130s, giveaways, and even the infamous "Scammer Gets Scammed" videos became part of the game's identity. For many players, these interactions were just as entertaining as the actual missions.
We understand that scamming and duplication exploits were problems, but removing item dropping entirely also punished players who simply wanted to help others or have fun.
We are asking Epic Games to restore the original item-dropping system, including:
Dropping weapons, traps, and crafting materials.
Allowing other players to pick up dropped items.
Sharing items with friends and teammates.
Restoring item dropping in missions, Storm Shields, and everywhere it was previously available.
Bringing back the freedom to trade, give away, and share items without a restrictive trading menu.
Save the World is a cooperative game, and sharing items was one of the ways players connected with each other.
We don't want a new trading system. We want the original freedom to drop items again.
If you miss the old Save the World experience, sign this petition and help show Epic Games that the community still cares.
Bring back item dropping. Bring back the memories. Bring back OG Save the World.
