The Riot Control Baton was added to Fortnite<\/a> in December 2019. It recently reappeared in the Daily Shop due to the re-run of the Star Wars event in celebration of 4th May. <\/p>\n

    Due to a bug which has not yet been fixed, the Riot Control Baton, when equipped, caused players’ footstep sounds to disappear, giving them a distinct advantage over their opponents.<\/p>\n

    The Riot Control Baton was used extensively in a Solos Cash Cup, and spotted by Fortnite player SlowEU, as the player followed Team Liquid’s Dmitri “Mitr0” Van de Vrie<\/a>.<\/p>\n
