There are a variety of changes coming with this update including changes to all vehicles and numerous bug fixes. One of the big changes coming in this update is the addition of Reboot Vans to Fortnite.

This update will possibly be introducing changes to the way vehicles work as well. 

In what was a highly controversial move, Epic Games announced stretched resolution will not be allowed in the Fortnite World Cup which means players will all be stuck on native resolutions. Look for that change to come in this update.

A nerf to the Baller was originally set to debut with this patch but Epic Games announced they were still working on a proper fix so that nerf has now been delayed.

We don’t have an exact date for when that eventual nerf will be coming so stay tuned for that.
