Return Date Announced for the New Guided Missile in Fortnite – Info and Weapon Changes
The highly anticipated return of the Guided Missile in Fortnite: Battle Royale will be taking place very soon.
After being sent to the vault months ago for being too overpowered, Epic is finally adding the weapon back into the game.
The in-game Message of the Day announcement screen on July 30 now includes the Guided Missile, which has been labelled as “coming soon.”
