The content update for Fortnite v8.20 is now out in the wild and brings a new weapon with it and a couple of bug fixes, though sadly no revert for the recent change to health and mats for elims, which revitalised the game for many.
As a content update, there is no huge patch required, but that also means there isn’t anything hugely significant of note to report regarding changes. Here are all the patch notes regardless.
