But the Fortnite team still wanted to find a way to reward gamers for their patience in dealing with the issues involved with the game.
So, they will be releasing a Black Bling gift this weekend that Battle Royale players can get from the store for free and for Save the World players, they’re offering a Troll Stash Llama in the loot tab for free.
They’ll also be granting a pack of Battle Stars to Battle Royale players and Seasonal Gold to the Save the World players which will be a part of the planned downtime that will be brief.
We’ve just released the v3.5.1 update! This introduces fixes for some issues discovered in the recent v3.5 patch. You can learn more about these fixes in the updated patch notes. https://t.co/0nmoI7jQQu
