Epic Games has confirmed that the latest Fortnite update is now available to download, bringing with it a revamped Guided Missile. 

Those of you who have been keeping up with our Fortnite coverage (which seems like every bloody day; I swear, I feel like I could write a guide about it at this point) will know that the weapon has been nerfed, as it was deemed far too overpowered in its previous incarnation.

In addition, the battle royale version of the perpetually popular shooter has added a new Limited Time Mode, Fly Explosives, which kits you out with jetpacks where you attack with only — you've guessed — explosive weapons.

Finally, the Save the World version of Fortnite now has the Spyglass Sniper Rifle up for grabs, which looks pretty cool to be honest. It's part of the Flintlock weapon set and packs a mean punch.

Just in case you've been living like a hermit for the past six months or so, Fortnite is doing pretty well. Well, more than that, actually; it's apparently making two million dollars per month on iOS alone, and increased Epic's worth to around eight billion dollars.
