According to Whysomuchtalkingtho and other Reddit users, if this happens to you, you can use a fishing pole or the newly added Harpoon Gun to shoot the ground and retrieve your loot.While we haven't been able to confirm this, other Redditors have commented on the original post agreeing that this is a valid method for retrieving your missing Supply Drop loot.
The launch of Fortnite Chapter 2 has been one for the record books, as the black hole event sent the internet into a craze.
