Fortnite Update: Devs tweak health bugs at Slurpy Swamp

Epic Games had rolled out a new map into Fortnite alongside the launch of Chapter 2 Season 1 and Slurpy Swamp is one of the various new points of interests in it. It has been a very desirable one for fans because of its exclusive healing and shield-providing tendencies.

The water present at Slurpy Swamp is capable of restoring the health and shield of players gradually. The large drum, or the Slurp Barrels at the location, are filled with Slurp Juice that optimizes health when players destroy them.
