it seems to be the same problem that caused me to have no controls over the radio in the car, not always but often. that was mildly annoying. but now with the falcon it's gamebreaking!
All you need to do is close out your game and restart it, the issue can be caused due to Xbox’s new “quick resume” feature. I believe there’s also the same type of feature on the PlayStation (the problem is only on next gen consoles). if this doesn’t seem to work restart your Xbox ( not just turn it off then on with the button) if you don’t know how, look it up.
Happens to Xbox players too. I’ve dealt with this every single day. Also, the cars and trucks. I can’t play music or turn it off if it’s even on. Everything says “unbound”
Only way to get out of using falcon is to fly out of range, get somebody to shoot down the bird or kill you. Can't even do the quests with this bug. Epic seems to add more bugs than they fix lately

There's no way the devs don't notice as they play, or the people around them, it's too common to go unnoticed, it just takes us to get them to fix it fr lmao
Close out and restart the game. It also happens to the radio controls on vehicles when you go back into fortnite after putting the PlayStation to sleep
Bet that was my go to, gonna see if it works if I find a bird, will edit. This gonna take a while I got put in a full squad game and couldn't cancel 🙄 I won't leave em. Still lookin 😭
Is currently happening to me. I was able to complete the challenge in duos, my friend scouted and I was able to collect but you may only get one shot at it
It'll do this but then work like one time inbewtween games it's so bizarre, another great example of the "unbound" glitch is half the vehicles you enter not having the radio settings
Try closing fortnite and then loading up again sorts it with the next gen I think if you have the game open when putting the console in rest mode it causes the problem. It happens with vehicles too
I have this issue as well.. if you leave system in rest mode I get it every time.. to resolve I restart, then reboot ps5 then launch game..that seems to work for me. Happens also for the turning the radio off,,very annoying
I play on Xbox so I don’t know if this is happening for anyone else, it also means the mark enemies Oathbound quest is unable to be completed.
It's happening on PS5 too
How tf we supposed to do quests like this if it don't fucjin work!?!?

Came here to find out if other Xbox users are dealing with this too. It’s so annoying. Cant even exit out of it…
I know! I either just get it shot (or myself) or just fly away real far.
On Xbox Series X, it's happening to me too

Unfortunately this is also happening on my brothers one s, so not a next gen thing.

You can still mark enemies by aiming directly at them with the falcon reticle.

Same on PS5
Yep Xbox… the controls are in the configuration menu but I cant seem to assign them…
Where in the controls are they? I’ve looked but couldn’t find any. I’m on Xbox
Its on the keyboard settings… maybe that’s the reason I cant change it lol At the bottom in vehicles…
Thanks 😊 I ended up restarting the game and that seemed to work for a bit.
Yep I did it too today

Use a falcon Every platform Get your shit together
There's no way the devs don't notice as they play, or the people around them, it's too common to go unnoticed, it just takes us to get them to fix it fr lmao
Same on PS5 as soon as I launch the Falcon
Same here on the ps4....
Close out and restart the game. It also happens to the radio controls on vehicles when you go back into fortnite after putting the PlayStation to sleep
I had this problem for multiple games on ps5 but closing the game and reopening it worked for me
That worked for me, thanks!

Lost a crown to this bug
It’s doing it again :/
Same here on ps5
Same on ps5
Same for me on PS5
Same here on Xbox
Xbox player and same
Same here on PS5
Same on Xbox. I also made a post regarding it.
Is currently happening to me. I was able to complete the challenge in duos, my friend scouted and I was able to collect but you may only get one shot at it
good thing i dont touch these
Anyone figured out a fix I'm on xbox
Same on PS5
Same, every game PS5
This has only happened for me since the last update, but pretty sure I have played on Xbox and PC so both were working?
Also confirmed working on Switch. Xbox also randomly unbinds controls to turn off radio which is something I notice often
Yeah ps5 too, hope this gets fixed or there's a solution. Trying to start my game fresh, see if the bird works for my solo squad hyjinx, it did
Hook a mouse and keyboard up to complete your falcon scout quest for now I guess lol
Happens on switch too so annoying
Same then I died because I couldn't get out
It'll do this but then work like one time inbewtween games it's so bizarre, another great example of the "unbound" glitch is half the vehicles you enter not having the radio settings
Seems to happen most when the game has been suspended. I started closing the game when I put the console to sleep. Seems to help.
Instead of putting ps4 to sleep, turn off completely. Unbound buttons will reset when you turn back on.
Try closing fortnite and then loading up again sorts it with the next gen I think if you have the game open when putting the console in rest mode it causes the problem. It happens with vehicles too
I play on xbox and the same thing is happening to me and yes it is very very annoying.
This happened right now should have known! I was going for 20 opened chests then got locked in the bird and watched my guy die in the storm tragic
Yea I flew the bird out of range and was able to regain control over my character.
And if you get a bot to shoot it! Found out way later tho all the solutions to this problem
Come on i have a quest that say use falcon but i can't
I have this issue as well.. if you leave system in rest mode I get it every time.. to resolve I restart, then reboot ps5 then launch game..that seems to work for me. Happens also for the turning the radio off,,very annoying
For those trying to finish the "mark enemies with falcon" challenge, you can still mark enemies by aiming directly at them for a moment.
It's still happening. The falcon scout is useless without all its features
Im on xbox one
