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)
✅ Servers are back online! Drop into Fortnite: Runners for a refreshed mid-chapter map and loot pool, Sprite extraction gameplay, new Ranked Season 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!
⏰ Following the Shattered Live Event, Fortnite will go into downtime at 7:30 PM ET / 11:30 PM UTC as we release the new Fortnite: Runners Season.
Enjoy the event, and we’ll see you soon in v41.00!

One of the best parts of working on live service games is you never know what's coming next. Seven chapters in and it never gets old.
Score video coming after the event.
Every single one of you should be ashamed of yourself. Harassing a dev over a damn peanut coming to the game that he had no control over.
Complained for years because of no communication and you’re about to get it again because you all can’t grow the hell up.
Looks like Tofu Chris is taking a break from Twitter. It's very sad to see how this community can act and how people can so easily blame developers like this without a care in the world. This is truly disappointing and should NEVER have to happen. Do better.
