Here’s a list of bug fixes that’ll likely be in the v8.20 Fortnite patch update for weapons, gameplay, performance, audio and more.
There have been a number of bugs in Fortnite Battle Royale since Season 8 began, and it looks like Epic plans to address the majority of them in the upcoming v8.20 patch update.
Sean Hamilton (MrPopoTFS), a community coordinator at Epic Games, has taken to Reddit to outline a large number of bug fixes that’ll potentially be available in v8.20. Although these have all been listed, it’s possible not all of them will make it or to not work as expected. You can view the list of potential bug fixes below:
