Without ever publishing official patch notes, Epic Games modifies weapon stats, therefore modifying the Fortnite metagame.

The community has recently spoken of weapon reload times, and these have now been balanced as part of Patch 11.10.

A wave of nerfs and buffs has also taken place, to the frustration of competitive players.

Redditor Tornorr has collated all the changes on reload times, which are presented below.
