Gameplay & Environment 

  • Like-for-Like Weapon Upgrades
    • Walk over a higher-rarity version of a weapon you’re carrying and you’ll automatically swap up!
      • To try it out, go to Settings > Game > Combat and make sure your Auto Pick Up Weapons setting is toggled on (enabled by default on Mobile). 
  • Auto Fire will no longer mistrigger when the Loot Hack menu is open.
  • Fixed an issue where the push notification telling you a download was complete never arrived.
  • Sprite and Override effects UI can now be repositioned in the HUD Layout Tool to prevent overlaps with custom layouts.
  • Fixed an issue where Reboot Vans couldn’t be activated by tapping their on-screen icon.
  • The Mega Buster’s charged shot once again deals its intended area damage.
  • You'll no longer get stuck after defeating and possessing one of Freddy’s Animatronics.
  • Fixed an issue where the Prop Hunt Override didn’t visually transform you into a prop the first time you used it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Hunter Scavenger Override caused the enemy-marking sound to play on repeat while you were in the Storm.
  • Fixed a bug where you could get stuck rolling after deploying your Glider just before hitting the terrain at Stone Sanctum.
  • Slightly reduced head sizes on certain Outfits (e.g. Bugs Bunny, Sonic the Hedgehog, Decora Ironmouse) so they don’t block your view while aiming down sights in Big Head Mode. 
  • Fixed overlapping Cheat Codes in Wonkeeland that couldn’t be interacted with.
  • Moved a Cheat Code at Golden Grove that couldn’t be reached in Zero Build.
  • The Guardian no longer spawns under the terrain as a Hired Follower.

Haven't opened Fortnite on mobile in quite a while but I remember it looking much better than rn.

My device (OnePlus 13R) has no issues running high intense games and the graphic settings are turned up to it's highest so I wonder why after it loads the stream assets (first vs 2nd image) the quality drop is immense and personally unplayable for me
