In its latest development update, Fortnite developer Epic Games touches upon some hot-button issues within the community right now. As is the case with these developer updates, Epic does not have anything to announce at this time, but the team does want players to know how they plan to approach certain aspects of the game moving forward.

The update video kicks off with a brief discussion of the server downtime on April 12th. After a series of updates led to login issues for Fortnite players, Epic needed to take the servers down for emergency maintenance. In total, the servers were down for about 12 hours and Epic has since given players two separate apology gifts for their trouble.

Epic doesn’t want there to be any secrets among Fortnite players, though, so they plan to release a post mortem blog post that explains what caused the server downtime. Whether the post will be informative or merely a way for Epic to explain what went wrong and why it won’t happen again is unclear.

But the real hot button issue for Fortnite this past week is the weapon swap change. In the recent update, Epic made it so burst damage weapons (shotguns, sniper rifles, crossbows, rocket launchers) could not be instantly fired after switching to them. This made it so players could not be in the process of building and then switch to a shotgun and fire. Now there is an equip time.

Since the update went live the Fortnite community has been divided over whether the changes are good or bad. At least where sniper rifles and crossbows are concerned, Epic felt it was in the wrong and has reverted back to the instant equip time for those two weapon classes.

For shotguns and rocket launchers, however, the change is going to stick… at least for now. The video does say that Epic plans to improve equip animations on these weapons (mostly shotguns) so that players are more aware of when one can be fired, but the devs don’t currently have any plans to reverse the change.

The beauty of the Fortnite community is that the devs are actively listening and they will continue to do so moving forward. No doubt the team is well aware of the arguments being made in support of removing the weapon swap changes, but bending to the whim of gamers, no matter how vocal they might be, isn’t always the best move. It will be interesting to see how things shape up in the next few updates.

Fortnite is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
