Epic Games has released the Fortnite update for December 15 on all platforms, and this is a server-side patch that brings a host of adjustments to the Battle Royale mode.
Fortnite Update for December 15 Patch Notes:
New Battle Royale balance adjustments just dropped!
🍓 Flowberries grant more shield.
⬆️ Increased damage for the Ranger Pistol, Shield Breaker EMP, and Ballistic Shield pistol.
❄️ Snowball Launcher mag size reduced.
🔫 Thunder Burst SMG mag size increased.
🎯 Reduced the drop rate of the Reaper Sniper Rifle.
⬇️ Striker AR deals less damage.

🪙 Medallions now have a brief delay before shield regen begins, have slightly reduced regen rates, and no longer refill 100% Shield (unless you have all 5).

In addition to today’s patch, the studio also announced that they are planning to release a new update next week with more improvements. It’s not mentioned whether this is an actual client patch or another server-side update but once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.
