Fortnite has officially released update 2.84. The update is live, so download it and jump onto the island. This new update was unannounced and is relatively small, meaning it shouldn't take too long to download on your system of choice. This comes as less of a surprise, due to the large content drop with the start of Chapter 2, Season 4. There were bound to be some things that needed tweaking.
Epic Games released a statement via the official Fortnite Status Twitter account regarding the update.
