What is new and fixed in Fortnite 19.30 Update Today? – February 15, 2022 (Updated)
Battle Royale Fixes
GYRO AND FLICK STICK – MORE CONTROLLER OPTIONS!
Added optional gyro controls to Fortnite on gyro-supported platforms. And flick stick too. This update brings more robust gyro controls to Fortnite.
With gyro controls, you control the camera by turning the controller. Enable or disable gyro controls in Fortnite by going to the “Touch and Motion” tab of the settings. Gyro controls can offer more precision than standard stick aiming – but don’t have to replace it entirely. (With flick stick, for example, pointing the right stick moves the camera quickly in its direction.)
GAME MODE SELECT SCREEN REMOVED
Temoved the initial game screen (which appeared on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC) where players would select either Save the World, Battle Royale, or Creative. You’ll now boot up directly into the Lobby, ready to join the party and explore Fortnite!
You can now find both modes via the “Discover” screen, accessible by clicking on the “CHANGE” button above “PLAY!”.

- Removed Armored Walls from Supply Drop loot in competitive playlists.
MAJOR BUG FIXES
- Fixed an issue involving some players only having two Tent slots available, as opposed to the intended three.
