Fortnite Reload August 27 update patch notes

BBG News

As a long-time Fortnite fanatic with countless hours spent looting virtual battlefields, I must say that the recent Reload update on August 27 has sent shockwaves through the gaming community. The massive weapon overhaul has left me both intrigued and slightly overwhelmed – like a kid in a candy store who’s just found out they have to pick only three candies!

Massive weapons changes have arrived in the latest Fortnite Reload update.

On August 27, there was a major revamp for the popular Reload mode in Fortnite, focusing mainly on a drastic overhaul of weapons. Epic Games introduced and eliminated several items to ensure that Reload remains engaging. Moreover, the creators tweaked the Storm slightly, incorporating the Storm Sickness mechanism. Here’s a rundown of the key changes in the August 27 update for Fortnite’s Reload mode.

Fortnite Reload August 27 update vaults and unvaults several weapons

In a July 16 update, Epic Games introduced some fresh weapons into Fortnite’s arsenal. Among these newcomers were the Thunder Pump Shotgun, Twin Mag SMG, and Mammoth Pistol. However, in an August 27 update, two of these changes were reversed. The Twin Mag SMG and Mammoth Pistol, along with a few other weapons, were placed on hold or “vaulted.” Here’s the list of items that were vaulted:

Vaulted

  • Pistol
  • Mammoth Pistol
  • Ranger Shotgun
  • Heavy Shotgun
  • Lever Action Rifle
  • Hammer Assault Rifle
  • Twin Mag SMG

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share some great news! The Hand Cannon, Hunting Rifle, and Thunder Pump Shotgun, which were previously taken out of the game, are back in action for now. Here is the full list of weapons that have been brought back: [Complete List of Unvaulted Weapons]

Unvaulted

  • Combat Pistol
  • Hand Cannon
  • Thunder Shotgun
  • Hunting Rifle
  • Combat Assault Rifle
  • Combat SMG
  • Shield Keg

Explaining the Storm changes in the latest Reload patch

In the thrilling world of Fortnite, I found myself on the edge of my seat following the August 27 update. Notably, the final two Storm Circles are now initiated more swiftly and expand at a slower pace over longer distances. This means that us players have less time to strategize before the climactic moments unfold, making each game even more exhilarating!

Moreover, the onset of Storm Sickness will now occur quicker. This gameplay feature is designed to penalize players who linger in the Storm for extended periods. With this adjustment, the penalty will kick in sooner than before. Therefore, enduring Storm damage during a reload match could lead to severe consequences.
