Launch day's looking good! 🙌 We just dropped a few quick balance tweaks to fine-tune the fun:
💥 Chaos Exploder Rifle now deals slightly less damage and has a smaller magazine size
💣 Overdrive Grenades now drop more frequently
⬆️ Striker Pump Shotgun now equips faster
🔫 Lancehead Pistol now deals more damage, performs better at range, has improved handling, and drops more frequently
🔄Extending Focus Shotgun (Triple Barrel) now reloads faster
🗝️ Vault Keys are now significantly less common (more of a bug fix than a balance adjustment)
2.5M players have extracted their own Fire Sprite! 🔥
2.1M players have extracted their own Earth Sprite! 🌎
1.8M players have extracted their own Water Sprite! 🌊
And a lucky 68 have a Zero Point Sprite!!
SERVERS ARE UP
Fortnite: Runners Is Here!
Extract. Survive. Repeat! Choose a Sprite before each match for a Sprite Power, and rescue more during a match to build your Collection. Wield items like the Seven Slider for new movement options, take down opponents with the Chaos Exploder Rifle's explosive rounds, obliterate the competition with the triple-barreled Extending Focus Shotgun, and more.
⏰The Sprites are still powering up - downtime is extended just a bit longer while we get everything ready for the new Runners season. Servers will be live soon!
DOWNTIME HAS BEEN EXTENDED A BIT
