Fortnite Reload has been very popular since its release. The fast-paced mode has attracted millions of players, and many of them now play it exclusively. Considering its popularity, it’s no surprise that the mode has just received a couple of big changes. These changes include the loot pool rehaul, as well as storm changes.
In this article, we’ll take a look at all the changes in the Reload mode.
Epic Games just released big changes to Fortnite Reload
The latest Fortnite Reload update brought big changes to the loot pool. Epic Games vaulted seven items, while also bringing seven older items back from the vault. The new loot pool will likely stay active for at least two to three weeks, giving you a chance to try it out.
Here are all the loot changes:
| Vaulted | Unvaulted |
| Pistol | Combat Pistol |
| Mammoth Pistol | Hand Cannon |
| Ranger Shotgun | Thunder Shotgun |
| Heavy Shotgun | Hunting Rifle |
| Lever Action Rifle | Combat Assault Rifle |
| Hammer Assault Rifle | Combat SMG |
| Twin Mag SMG | Shield Keg |
Considering that the Hand Cannon and Hunting Rifle have returned, getting snipes will be much easier over the next few weeks. On top of this, the Shield Keg is a perfect item for healing, and many players will be using it while it’s available. Most of the other changes are relatively small, although it is a bit unusual that Epic vaulted three close-range weapons with a single update.
Besides changes to the loot pool, Fortnite Reload now has slightly different storm movements as well. The final two circles now begin quicker and shrink slower over a longer distance. The update also buffed Storm Sickness, making it kick in much faster. Considering that heal-offs in the storm became quite common, it’s no surprise that Epic made this change.
