Fortnite gets nerfs for planes, hand cannons, and RPGs

Besides all the top line content coming in the next Fortnite update, Epic is also making an array of notable balance changes to the battle royale. Those include a broad set of nerfs for some of the game’s most controversial items, as well as a interact button for ziplines and more measures to make them safer to interact with. Planes can longer smash through structures as of the 7.40 update. Hand cannon damage will be reduced from 150 to 100. Reload time for RPGs is increasing from 2.52 seconds to 3.24 seconds, and that applies across all rarities - additionally, rocket launchers will no longer spawn from chests, but will be slightly more common in supply drops. Ziplines now have an interact prompt, and you’ve now got fall damage immunity from them. The Turbo Build delay is dropping from 0.15 seconds to 0.05 seconds, and you can now crouch while in edit mode. Epic’s Reddit post notes that these are just “some of the changes” coming in the next patch, so it looks like more will come in the full patch notes.
