Fortnite Update 1.000.234

Epic Games released Fortnite’s Fortnitemares last week, which brought back our usual Halloween-themed activities and rewards. Unfortunately, it also brought in some bugs, some of which are already known by the developers.

Today, some of those bugs are squashed with Fortnite update 1.000.234 , which is live on all platforms. For the known issues and fixes, read on for this unannounced patch.

The most recent fix by Epic Games mentions:

Fortnitemares items are getting some more improvements! See below for what’s changed:

  • We’ve greatly reduced Rebecca’s Guns damage to structures and slightly slowed its reload speed.
