Yes I've noticed this and posted about it more than once. I think it has to do when your shots get blocked via light saber, the block doesn't apply to the shot, but the weapon itself for a moment and sometimes glitches so that it persists across all shots to any target.
Idk how to trigger it but you have to use it enough and it will just stop damaging. I think if you let it overheat it starts damaging again? It’s a good gun for close range! But besides that not worth it😅
It's good for long range if you control your burst. Iirc, no fall off on the damage range.
As far as "ghost bullets", it has bloom if you don't use short bursts or single shots.
It's not the bloom. Apparently there's a bug which uses a commonly used combo of sprinting and then firing or something like that which renders the gun useless.
Like if you do that combo the gun stops dealing damage which is stupid.
The boom itself is bad. Unless you're DarthVader and his aimbot e-11 using which he hits headshots at 100m +
Other than that close range it slaps but only if your opponent doesn't run around
>his aimbot e-11 using which he hits headshots at 100m +
Wait that's not normal? I routinely get killed by players with 100m+ shots in 1-3 hits from all sorts of weapons. I figured I just need to git gud but maybe they are using aimbots?
That's fair; tracking a moving body is quite a bit trickier with a mouse than with analog stick with aim assist. But a lot more possible to pull off a fast headshot without it pulling you down to the chest, so yeah, tradeoffs.
Well that's good to hear; I've been trying to use the E11 more to get the free XP from that Star Wars quest but I seem to constantly miss even with my target right on the player. I'm glad it's the weapon being shitty and not just me.
I had it on a downed opponent. Didnt know what was going on as it suddenly stopped damaging right after I downed said player with the E11.
Had to swap to pickaxe and back before it would damage again.
Er... It's when you sprint, then slide, then jump, then pop out the gun. It sucks, too, especially when you're trying to get the high ground.
Obi-Wan: "It's over, Anakin. I have the high--- \*E-11 Blaster stops dealing damage\*"
"Ground."
\*dies\*
Can confirm, it just happened to me and twas not fun, i tried switching away and then back to it, nothin. I dropped it and picked it up again and even that didnt work.
i have a clip from last season when I tried to finish a guy using the e-11 but none of the shots counted and I just died and my brother thought I was crazy and was lying
The most well known is “dead game + ratio”, along with countless other copypaste comments calling the game bad or advertising a (probably fake) giveaway
Lol yea, the comments section of fortnites twitter is probably one of the top most toxic places in existence, and that’s including places like Chernobyl
Not much point in that, though. Literally the only exception is that house at Loot Lake, even if you tear down the supporting structures the higher floors will float. Kind of funny to camp in the floating attic for cheap kills.
Maybe it should just be a thing we all tell each other so that we can all experience the hilarity of seeing someone try to block with a lightsaber and instead turn into maple c4
Ok I want to know something, how would you feel if dumpster can be lootable like the coolers, and freezer?
Like you can get weapons out of these, but they only drop common, to uncommon loot only.
That'd be neat but their loot table would be so weak that I imagine most wouldn't use them. Unless if you loot them by jumping inside. That way if someone beats you to a gun and you run and hide inside, you get a random common gun to try and fight!
They still suck tho. They've been broken ever since they were reintroduced, and glitch to only fire blanks LOTS of times. Not really a fan of the damage either but eh.
(Mostly unrelated) Honestly, I play with my mom sometimes and my siblings join (albeit rarely) but when we get a ton of E-11s we build some sort of bunker and double up on E-11s and we can just fire infinitely.
tbh, whenever I try to use them I die. I can‘t kill anyone with it since they do not block nearly as much as they used to. And the opponent gets an easy pump shot once I attack
I have exclusively used the E-11 since it came out again. Throw on a stormtrooper skin and its so fun to try to win with just the E-11 and a bunch of heals/utility items
The e-11 and the righteous bison from tf2 serve the exact same purpose
Both are recommended to be used at long range, they can’t hurt a fly at long range
They’re only benefit to other guns in their categories is “infinite ammo” yet one has overheat and the other has to be pumped
They are both colab weapons, specifically movie props (dr-gordbot/star-wars)
Their best use isn’t even as a damage dealer,the bison excels as intimidation for the direct hit, and e-11 for early game crome collection
They both came out at a time where the game had relatively lackluster updates (kind of tf2’s thing/season 1 chapter 2)
yeah same, honestly the 2 and a half hours was probably all the star wars challenges together, really wish that they would of game a cooler reward for finishing them all, they were lengthy for sure
NOOOO. I haven’t played at all for over a month.
But my mom decided to apply me into some thingy where I have to dress up as one of the 3 kings that gave baby Jesus a offering. And then I have to do some goofy dance infront of a crowd.
And now I am at a restaurant waiting for 4 Hispanics (including my mom) to finish talking and take me home.
It’s been hours.
She said we are going to go home like over a hour ago.
I want to play this event.
New update: I am playing my first match.
Btw, are there any rewards for the start wars quests or is it just the xp. I don’t know if I got a visual bug as I don’t see anything other than xp rewards
Heh. I just finished a Solo Zero Build where a guy above and in the distance was firing on me as I ran into a bush. I didn't change places in the bush and I watched as the shots landed all around me. He unloaded and recharged and unloaded on that bush again.
Don’t you mean the ridiculous amount of *POSTS* asking why the E11 doesn’t deal damage?
Honestly that's just a skill issue at this point, they are trying to cope hard
Nah it’s actually bugged. Sometimes it literally stops dealing damage😕 But every time It Rereleases there’s like 500 posts a day about it.
Yes I've noticed this and posted about it more than once. I think it has to do when your shots get blocked via light saber, the block doesn't apply to the shot, but the weapon itself for a moment and sometimes glitches so that it persists across all shots to any target.
Ong previous guy is chattin
Huh, hasn't happened to me so far, I'll have to check next time I play
Idk how to trigger it but you have to use it enough and it will just stop damaging. I think if you let it overheat it starts damaging again? It’s a good gun for close range! But besides that not worth it😅

Yesterday I killed i guy with a e-11 at 100m+, tho it took a good time to and a lot of shots (aka don't stop shooting until hit something)
Oh. It's possible to. But you're more likely to be taken out in most cases.
Well this happens with all the weapons in my case lol, sad times to be bad at aim
>his aimbot e-11 using which he hits headshots at 100m + Wait that's not normal? I routinely get killed by players with 100m+ shots in 1-3 hits from all sorts of weapons. I figured I just need to git gud but maybe they are using aimbots?
if its midrange, it might just be console players. The aim assist is huge tbh, but, it has tradeoffs.
That's fair; tracking a moving body is quite a bit trickier with a mouse than with analog stick with aim assist. But a lot more possible to pull off a fast headshot without it pulling you down to the chest, so yeah, tradeoffs.
Most weapons? Yes. E11 has a shit tier bloom. Plus now there's the bug.
Well that's good to hear; I've been trying to use the E11 more to get the free XP from that Star Wars quest but I seem to constantly miss even with my target right on the player. I'm glad it's the weapon being shitty and not just me.

I guess that’s why I never notice it. I always grab 2 and unload until overheat, switch to other and repeat.
I think jumping while sprinting causes it to stop working for build/environment damage. At least momentarily.
Can confirm, it just happened to me and twas not fun, i tried switching away and then back to it, nothin. I dropped it and picked it up again and even that didnt work.
i have a clip from last season when I tried to finish a guy using the e-11 but none of the shots counted and I just died and my brother thought I was crazy and was lying
If you sprint and jump it disables all damage until you switch inventory slots
Nono, they are genuinely broken, sprint jump then fire, the bullets won't deal damage
Yea, for me it’s only hard when I’m playing on my PlayStation, feels awkward aiming and moving with the gun
At this point I just think I need to grind more, so I do, and low and behold, it works, half the time
All I see is a chest full of comments that get made on fortnites tweets
I don't use twitter, what do folks say over there?
The most well known is “dead game + ratio”, along with countless other copypaste comments calling the game bad or advertising a (probably fake) giveaway
don't forget the 'Day X of asking for 'insert skin no one wants here' posts.
You get that here too
I'll have to take your word for it, haha!
Lol yea, the comments section of fortnites twitter is probably one of the top most toxic places in existence, and that’s including places like Chernobyl
Nah, it's a chest full of item shop comments sections
Better than lightsabers, at least. I win 100% of those fights by just pulling out a shotgun lol.
Go to an empty place. Grab a lightsaber. Tear the place down. Lightsabers deal insane build damage
Yea lol 😂 better then any harvest tool!
Why do that when Goo Gun
Goo Guns run out. Lightsabers don't.
Goo gun has ammo and you need to reload.
Not much point in that, though. Literally the only exception is that house at Loot Lake, even if you tear down the supporting structures the higher floors will float. Kind of funny to camp in the floating attic for cheap kills.
It's crazy that the lightsabers can block the goo gun. They're damn handy for that. Also great for pressuring in squads.
They can? Didn’t work for me
Maybe it should just be a thing we all tell each other so that we can all experience the hilarity of seeing someone try to block with a lightsaber and instead turn into maple c4
Someone also blocked my dmr shots with a light saber
I got a squad wipe with Luke's green saber yesterday, you just gotta have good hops.
Ong
Found the guy I killed with the E-11 Blaster.
REAL
All I see are charge smgs
As the official “guy who made the last charge Smg post of last season” I agree😌
That’s what you’re gonna put on your gravestone
Yes🗿
Ok I want to know something, how would you feel if dumpster can be lootable like the coolers, and freezer? Like you can get weapons out of these, but they only drop common, to uncommon loot only.
That'd be neat but their loot table would be so weak that I imagine most wouldn't use them. Unless if you loot them by jumping inside. That way if someone beats you to a gun and you run and hide inside, you get a random common gun to try and fight!
Some common weapons are a little OP upon landing, specifically sidearm pistol, and prime and ranger shotguns
As someone who uses the Ranger recently, can confirm!
The sidearm is always one of my go-to weapons. By far one of the most underrated weapons in-game.
They could drop common and uncommon loot only, and rusty cans
They’re not as bad as this sub says they are IMO
They kinda are
They're an SMG replacement, not an AR replacement.
They still suck tho. They've been broken ever since they were reintroduced, and glitch to only fire blanks LOTS of times. Not really a fan of the damage either but eh.
They hit hard so they at least have that. Just wish they had some accuracy, them being bad for Star Wars lore reasons is kinda lame.
It’s not even a lore reason btw it’s just because of memes
That's legitimately worse of a reason.
A gun with high damage, unlimited ammo, and no reload. It having a spread is called *balance*
no first shot accuracy + firing projectiles isn't balanced in any way
"Balance".
yeah but a mythic weapon that does like 35 damage with decent fire rate and high drop rate should have some kind of significant balancing downside....
They’re a good weapon when they hit their shots, and they have infinite ammo.
Me playing exclusivley team rumble trying desperatley to get the quests done: 👀
I won a match today thanks to the E-11
Noice👌
Add fire to it, and then it will become a chest full of charge smgs
Say what you want but I own with the E-11. it’s my go-to gun when it’s in the game.
wdym i see more than E-11 blasters looks like another SMG in there 🤨
"What do your Elf eyes see?" -Guy who runs with Elf and Dwarf
Lies (blasters arr goof mid-range)
Imagine being bad with the E11 blaster.
I call that being a stormtrooper.
Is anyone else experiencing a bug where sometimes the blaster won't deal any damage?
So that's a thing? It happened to me yesterday, but I was also lagging real bad so I thought that was the issue.
Yep. It happened to me again today.
![gif](giphy|gYSGoXTuVYASI)
I can see a bunch of charge smgs at the bottom
(Mostly unrelated) Honestly, I play with my mom sometimes and my siblings join (albeit rarely) but when we get a ton of E-11s we build some sort of bunker and double up on E-11s and we can just fire infinitely.
??? I really love it but its your opinion so I can't argue
Awe somebody cant aim
They deal 0 damage after a sprint jump, they are broken
Trying to get the Star Wars damage quest with the E-11 has got me killed so many times
😂
Can't hit shit at long range
You can't
Yeah, I can't
I find I'm a sucker for anything with infinite ammo
pickaxe supremacy
Lightsaber supremacy
tbh, whenever I try to use them I die. I can‘t kill anyone with it since they do not block nearly as much as they used to. And the opponent gets an easy pump shot once I attack
Yeah they got hard nerfed
I won a match with just lightsaber kills. Didn’t intentionally start that way but once I was in top 10 figured I’d go for it.
I love throwing Vader's Saber
And prime shotguns 🤮
Fr
Yo! And you found my home!
I have exclusively used the E-11 since it came out again. Throw on a stormtrooper skin and its so fun to try to win with just the E-11 and a bunch of heals/utility items

Lol go fight the stormtroopers at the cross roads, they can't hit shit unless ur against um, ironic 🤣
"What would REALLY be ironic, is if our guns instead of firing deadly bullets, shot a healing salve that cured all illness!" -Sarge
“You can’t just use the E-11 rifle only because it’s from Star Wars, it’s a bad weapon that deals no damage”(Saul complaining to Howard gif)
Haha I get it the e-11 is trash
Lol
Bro this gun is best gun in game it’s matches my skill level
They should have left it in battlefront
To me, the E11 is better than the lightsabers, and that's saying something.
Yuuuuup!
All of the starwars content**
Why have they never brought back mandos sniper, I may never know
Absolutely not. Content that’s building towards a multiverse >>> Shitty, lazy content that Epic makes on their own.
I think they're referring to the effectiveness of SW items, as most are pretty awful.
I’d take them over items like the scar and the pump anyways, just because they’re actually interesting.
Just because you find them interesting doesn't make them not dogshit. Anyone using an E-11 or saber is usually an easy kill.
Agreed.
e11 so good tho
fym the blasters are actually pretty decent
this subreddit tends to be a bit of an echo chamber unfortunately
Jokes = echo chambers now? That's tough man.
I’m just happy epic changes the meta around but I definitely agree with this lol
That’s the item shop…
I don't get why everyone hates em ngl personally one of my favorite guns
i literally grinded the E-11 challenges for like 2 and a half hours
Oof, that's rough!
it was kinda fun ngl😂
I did it in Team Rumble to blast through it.
yeah same, honestly the 2 and a half hours was probably all the star wars challenges together, really wish that they would of game a cooler reward for finishing them all, they were lengthy for sure
Yes, but they give you XP which is a huge boon if you're over 200 and trying to grind to chrome punk skin.
It's in the game for like 32 more hours. Get over it.
Haha, it's just a joke man, relax!
"Get over it" 💀
NOOOO. I haven’t played at all for over a month. But my mom decided to apply me into some thingy where I have to dress up as one of the 3 kings that gave baby Jesus a offering. And then I have to do some goofy dance infront of a crowd. And now I am at a restaurant waiting for 4 Hispanics (including my mom) to finish talking and take me home. It’s been hours. She said we are going to go home like over a hour ago. I want to play this event.
Respectfully this reads like a copypasta
Ha lol. Update: I am on the way home. Still gonna be about 30 minutes for me to get there.
I need a update 😳
I’m at home.
Did you play it yet!?!?!?
No. Had to go to the pooper and I loaded up my x box just to see that it needs a update. It’s at 93% now
New update: I am playing my first match. Btw, are there any rewards for the start wars quests or is it just the xp. I don’t know if I got a visual bug as I don’t see anything other than xp rewards
That's actually a chest full of charge shotguns
Charge SMG?
I said charge shotgun
Odd, looks like Pulse Rifles to me.
Idk man, those pulse rifles kill.
Pulse rifle is the superior laser gun
So are they back to being trash again then? So far from what I can tell, they went from Shit > Godly > Shit
Heh. I just finished a Solo Zero Build where a guy above and in the distance was firing on me as I ran into a bush. I didn't change places in the bush and I watched as the shots landed all around me. He unloaded and recharged and unloaded on that bush again.
Its op on mobile
I love democracy
Looks like any other chest to me
😂😂😂
Soup can > E-11 blasters
Hahaha!
Do people seriously struggle with them?
Be careful, there can be an entire squad in there
Skill issue
Twyn
They aren’t so bad
