Epic Games has officially stopped releasing patch notes with each update for Fortnite. But don’t worry — that’s why we’re here! In addition to providing unofficial patch notes, we will discuss the leaks coming out of the patch. This includes future weapons, in-game events and limited-time modes. Check out everything new with Patch v12.50 below:
Gameplay Changes

● Operation: Payload
