Good list of updates that this game needs. Good for them, but once PUBG releases I'll probably never touch Fortnite again.

Decy They really need to fix AR's there so broken after the latest update.

Whats wrong with them? They have been fine for me.


Been having a problem with them ever since the update where none of my bullets are hitting.
