There have been some issues with the icon, environment, and weapon visibility in the past, so tweaks have also been made, including better night and Storm's edge visibility, changes in Frenzy Auto Shotgun, and the Thunder Burst SMG weapon icons.

Lego Fortnite

A bug has been fixed that made players lose items after being eliminated in the transition between aboveground and belowground.

Rocket Racing

In the Rocket Racing mode, efforts have been made to reduce the lengthy queue times and help players get into races faster. 

The car-on-car collisions have also been made a bit less punishing to aid players in crossing the finish line without their cars being destroyed completely. To unlock the Jackie Outfit, players with Gold I rank now need to complete one full race.

Fortnite Festival

Fortnite says they have fixed an error that caused players to see an empty song library in the Main Stage after suspending Fortnite on their device. Moreover, players can now jump from balconies as the fall damage has been disabled in the Main Stage's Backstage. Furthermore, the “Restart Song” functionality has been disabled until a bug that caused the game to be unresponsive is fixed.

So, what are you waiting for? Log into Fortnite and enjoy these exciting changes now!
