Epic also reminded players of their policy for competitive Fortnite of delaying the release of all new weapons and loot drops for two weeks on competitive servers in order to gather more information about the competitive viability of each new weapon.Competitive management policies such as these are important for maintaining the competitive Fortnite scene, and to prevent a new weapon from creating stale and boring play when these weapons are released.Where to watchWelcome to the DreamHack Open featuring Fortnite! 🔸$250,000 up for grabs every month.🔸North American & European regions only.🔸Open participation (13+)Learn more about the online event: https://t.co/tJ3v7jaZBP pic.twitter.com/7YAs9xSyE0— DreamHack Fortnite (@DreamHackFN) June 22, 2020Epic has announced that they will be broadcasting competitive Fortnite with commentary through Twitch.
