Latest Fortnite Patch Emphasizes Things That Go Boom

Never content to rest on its laurels, this week brings another update to the world-shaking behemoth Fortnite.

The patch also includes a new single-shot sniper rifle for Save the World. The gun has a lot of gold on it, which presumably means it's very good.
