Epic Games announced on Friday afternoon that the Infinity Blade, Fortnite’s newest weapon, which was added to the game earlier this week and has been a major source of fan outrage since, has been removed.

“We messed up and rolled the Infinity Blade overpowered/without good counters, especially in the end game,” Epic said on the Fortnite Twitter account. “The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items. Thanks for calling us out on this!”
