A new update in Fortnite changes the balance of weapons and tornadoes. What was strengthened and what was weakened?

As announced, Fortnite has been updated to change the balance of weapons.


We will have to wait for Update 19.10, but developers are already making balance changes to what is in theory a hotfix. These are changes that weaken or strengthen weapons, and the tornado changes as well.

The maximum number of vehicles that a tornado can carry has been limited to 2, while the total number of objects has been reduced to 75.

What changed?

Epic was supposed to inform the players about the changes, but so far there is no official information, so the leakers took care of everything.

  • Stinger SMG – Reduced damage by 2 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)
  • MK-7 Assault Rifle Reduced damage by 1 (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
  • uto Shotgun Reload time decreased by 1.53s

@Update – Epic has released a note, but it is not very specific. They just informed what was changing.

It seems that is all. Surprisingly, tornadoes were not mentioned, but apparently, they are not of much importance to Epic.
