Changes not mentioned

The changes listed below are already in-game and should have been included in the previous patch notes. We just want to confirm it once more. A big thank you to r / FORTnITE - you really paid attention!

Bug fixes

• Robber Assault Rifle: Base damage reduced from 33 to 28 and impact reduced from 87 to 73.

• Hull Splinter: Base damage reduced from 162 to 135 and impact reduced from 576 to 480.
