Hey all!
Since The Big Bang, we’ve cooked up some improvements to Fortnite Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. Today’s update hits key areas that we want to address before our next update planned for early 2024.
FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE
MOVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
Movement speed has been increased when crouching, and running. We also reduced camera movement and adjusted the change in view while sprinting to encourage a smoother experience. Plus, we updated the movement animations to better match the adjustments in speed.
To help you get adjusted to these updates, we’ve reset everyone’s “Custom Diagonal Movement” settings, so please log in and reconfigure your settings to what feels best.
MEDALLIONS READABILITY
Society Medallion icons now stand out more on the map and should be easier to spot at a glance. We also reduced the visual noise present in the minimap when several Medallion zones are near one another, especially in the later Storm circles.
NIGHT VISIBILITY
We’ve brightened certain areas of the map where it was a little too dark during night.
STORM VISIBILITY
The visibility of the Storm’s edge has been improved so it’s more apparent how close it is, as we heard from the community it could be difficult to see.
WEAPON ICONS
We’re aware of feedback that the Frenzy Auto Shotgun and the Thunder Burst SMG weapon icons were too similar, making it hard to differentiate them. These icons have been updated to be more visually unique and legible.
RECENT BALANCE CHANGES
Last week, we also released a lot of balance changes to Battle Royale. Here’s a recap!
Flowberries now grant more Shield.
Increased damage for the Ranger Pistol, Shield Breaker EMP, and Ballistic Shield's pistol.
Snowball Launcher mag size reduced.
Thunder Burst SMG mag size increased.
Reduced the drop rate of the Reaper Sniper Rifle.
Striker AR deals less damage.
The circle indicating a Society Medallion holder is smaller.
Society Medallions now have a brief delay before Shield regen begins. They also have slightly reduced regen rates and no longer refill 100% Shield (unless you have all five).
