Your support makes all the difference.The latest update of Fortnite has reintroduced daily challenges to the hugely popular video game.
Fortnite developer Epic Games published the full patch notes for the 11.20 update in a blog post that detailed enhancements to the Battle Royale experience, as well as much-needed bug fixes.
Players will now be able to earn XP by completing daily challenges, with up to three active at any one time.
Items in players' lockers can also be filtered by the Season they were introduced in, simply by entering terms like "season 5" into the search bar.
The popular Bandage Bazooka has also been re-enabled after Epic Games resolved syncing issues with the popular weapon.
Fortnite players were frustrated last week when the item was removed from the game, as some of the in-game challenges required the Bandage Bazooka.
The latest patch notes may not be as comprehensive as previous editions but this may be because Epic Games is reportedly planning a big holiday promotion in the coming weeks.
