Epic Games have taken to their site to update fans on the latest update to hit their free-to-play battle royale title, Fortnite.
The latest update, v9.30 #2, comes in relatively small bringing only a couple of new features, however, the things that are brought are very welcomed! The biggest addition is the new drum shotgun, for those players who love using shotguns, will want to get in on this action. In addition to the new shotgun, we also got some changes and fixes to the battle royale mode, creative mode, and Save the World.
Check out the full set of patch notes for Fortnite down below:
