A new datamined string in the v34.40 build points to an unreleased **Rift Anchor Marker** item heading to the Chapter 7: Season 4 Battle Pass locker. According to leak intel, the placeable beacon lets players teleport back to its location after a 4.5-second channel — a repositioning tool with a 60-second cooldown and a 40% movement penalty during activation. Pros are already flagging it as a potential tournament ban candidate. The core concern? It enables post-fight resets without consuming mobility items, which could skew the 212th Battalion Trooper vs Daphne Blake Chapter 7: Season 3 meta by letting survivors retreat, heal, and instantly reposition. With FNCS Major 3 eligibility still unconfirmed, Epic faces a tough tuning window. Test lobby icons in the latest Fortnite patch notes promo assets show the Rift Anchor equipped on **2-Ball vs Cozy Chomps** and **2-Ball vs D.Va**, while a separate **Daphne Blake** questline string ties reward grants to "Rift Anchor assists." That suggests Epic is pushing the mechanic into mainstream casual play before tuning it for the competitive tier. If the Rift Anchor Marker ships as leaked, expect heavy debate across the Chapter 7: Season 4 ranked ladder. For now, treat it as strong but ban-risky — monitor patch notes before locking it into your loadout plans. --- ## 🔗 Related Skin Comparisons - [Daphne Blake vs Analysis](/compare/2-ball-vs-daphne-blake) - [Cozy Chomps vs Analysis](/compare/2-ball-vs-cozy-chomps) - [D.Va vs Analysis](/compare/2-ball-vs-d-va)
