Like most late-season updates, Fortnite update 15.50 is hardly revolutionary in the grand scheme of Battle Royale. Folks were having lots of fun with the surprise return of the Hand Cannon in recent days, so it's a bit of a bummer for that gun to be immediately vaulted and replaced by the Rapid Fire SMG.
The weapon that doesn't really have a history of being beloved by fans since being introduced in Chapter 2 Season 2. Maybe its new incarnation will play with the current meta in interesting ways, but we were hoping for something a bit more exciting nonetheless. At least the Rift Fish and Jellyfish are back in play after a brief hiatus, though.
On the Creative front, the changes are both small and significant at the same time. While there isn't much in update 15.50 in terms of features, having an extra 25 percent of Island space is hardly something to sneeze at. Especially as creators have begun to design more elaborate concepts over the years, it makes sense to give them more breathing room.
And, if these new localization efforts go as smoothly as Epic intends, it won't matter what language you speak to get the most out of the vast library of Islands available. Given that this is the last major update of Fortnite Season 5, some fans may have been expecting fireworks. What's found in update 15.50, however, is far more tame but still noteworthy.
Fortnite is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Android.
