We’ve made the following changes to Fortnite OG: 🔒 Legendary Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles have been vaulted. 🪂 Enabled Glider redeploy when exiting X-4 Stormwings while mid-air. 🏃♂️ Adjusted Burst AR spread when sprinting, sliding or jumping. 🪩 Boogie Bombs now drop in stacks of 2 like it used to be. 💥 Miniguns and Epic + Legendary Heavy Assault Rifles now have spread and recoil closer to their original values. 🎯 Scoped weapons have been improved while airborne and aiming down sights. 🔧 Some weapons no longer have Jump + ADS interactions while we work on a long-term fix. 🔄 Fixed Reboot Van timing to OG values.

@FortniteStatus Matchmaking is like so broken right now , parties appear to be matched using the highest stat player, instead of party leader or average. Which makes playing with low level skill friends genuinely unplayable, build and zero build lobbies feel sweatier then ranked and this -

@JustCallMeKino @FortniteStatus See, that's what I don't understand, either. This feature was added for the new scoped weapons in Chapter 6, and was compatible with all of the scoped weapons from Chapter 5. So, you would think that they would incorporate that into their new scoped weapons from Chapter 7.
