It gives players some nice changes in terms of the accuracy of certain weapons, and overall, some much-needed improved damage rates.

The Fortnite balance changes also include changes to the Recycler junk bomb speed, Primal Pistol damage, and fire rate, as well as overall stats for all SMGs. Several users replied to Fortnite Status with a positive view, and many seemed like they had been waiting for this patch.
