Fortnite Update November 4

Following the release of the big 38.00 patch for Fortnite, which included The Simpsons collaboration content, Epic Games has pushed out a new update today. As one might expect, this update brings fixes.

Console gamers will see today’s download appear as Fortnite update 4.90, and this has been released to resolve issues rather than add any new content.

Fortnite’s Update on November 4 Released Without Any Announcement

 

Update: Epic Games confirmed the following bug fixes were applied today:

  • Fixed a bug improving Epic and Legendary Suppressed Assault Rifle spread accuracy.
  • The Epic and Legendary Tactical Shotgun no longer deals higher-than-intended environmental damage.

Some of the key issues Epic is looking into recently include:
