Fortnite Battle Royale: silenced SMG coming this week, PTS soon

Fortnite Battle Royale players will be able to get their hands on a silenced SMG from this week.

That's just one of the features being added to the new game mode along with a bunch of new balance changes.

Damage for normal SMGs is going to be increased, as well as magazine size.

Further down the line will be a Fortnite Battle Royale public test server to try out changes to the core gameplay, where the team will toy with weapon accuracy to begin with.

Fortnite Battle Royale went live in October and has already passed 20 million unique players. It's doing rather well, and closest rival PUBG has got its eyes on it.
