What else is changing in Fortnite?
As well as the new updates and additions to Fortnite, Epic Games will also be vaulting another weapon with the vault set to disappear from the game.
Another new concept coming soon will be storm damage which will see the storm that closes in on the map start to destroy player built structures in the final stages of the game.
Shields will also be stack-able in sets in threes and boogie bombs will drop from chests as a stack of 2.
