Fortnite v12.50 Patch Notes: Risky Reels back, Heavy Sniper Nerfed, FPS issues Fixed, New 'Party Royale' Gamemode' & more!

Here is everything that data miners have discovered after the v12.50 Fortnite update that has recently been rolled out.

Following every Update, Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite, add new files to the game. They usually contain bits of information regarding new cosmetics, in-game challenges, emotes, or other changes in the Battle Royale / Save the World game modes.

The Fornite Chapter 2, Season 2, has now been extended until 4th June. Season 2 was initially supposed to end on 30th April.

The extension of the second season may have come as a piece of excellent news to many players as they would now have more time to complete their challenges. v12.50 will be the penultimate Update of this season. v12.60 is expected within 2 to 3 weeks and will take us one step close to Season 3.
