Fortnite Battle Royale is feeling fresh as daisies with update 3.4, replete with a new weapon as well as optimizations for visual quality and lag reduction. The new patch arrived after about six hours of scheduled maintenance and it was well worth the wait, even if you can't stand the return of the Sniper Shootout Limited-Time Mode (now featuring 100 percent fewer revolvers). Here are five of the biggest changes to look out for in Fortnite version 3.4.Like life, the Guided Missile finds a wayThe new Guided Missile weapon does the same damage as an RPG.

Here are the five biggest things you should know about Fortnite: Battle Royale update 3.3 before you log in to see them all firsthand.

Remote Explosives tear through structures, not to mention anybody standing in their blast radius, but you need to get close to deploy them. You can even set up multiple charges and blow them all at once to blindside builders - oh, sorry, were you on top of that tower? The charges have blinking red lights attached, so make sure you don't … [Read more...] about The 5 biggest changes in Fortnite: Battle Royale 3.3: Remote Explosives in, Smoke Grenades out, and more
