Fortnite quickly fixes tornadoes and lightning storms as they were impossible to find

Fortnite tornadoes and lightning were added as part of the game’s Chapter 3 update, but it seems Epic has already released a hotfix for these new weather conditions. 

Epic is constantly updating Fortnite with new weapons and POIs, but the game’s latest tornado and lightning weather effect is already receiving some changes. These extreme elements may look rather imposing, but they can actually give players huge advantages. 

Tornadoes can be a great way for you to quickly preposition on the map, while the speed boost from lightning can help quicken your movements. However, it appears Epic isn’t happy with the way these extreme weather conditions are currently performing in Fortnite Chapter 3. 

Make sure you check out how both tornadoes and lightning will be changed ahead of their upcoming hotfix.
