One more week, Epic Games does not forget to update Fortnite. After the 7.20 update two weeks ago, and the content update last Tuesday, it's time to see what's new in update 7.30 to Fortnite.
Epic is getting us used to updates that not only add content, but also modify important aspects of the game both in Battle Royale mode and in the other modes (Creative Mode and Save the World), and this week will not be less.
Epic has already released the Fortnite patch 7.30 data, which brings new weapons, improvements and, above all, optimization so that the games on Nintendo Switch go a little better (more fluid and with more definition textures). Next, we bring you all Fortnite v7.30 data:
