Fortnite 12.60 Update: Is the Recon Expert coming back? 

The new Fortnite update v12.60 is all set of making its way into the game today.

Downtime for the update has started and Fortnite has now disabled matchmaking for maintenance. The update begins at 2 AM ET and sits at around 1.8 GB on console and 1.07 GB on PC (StW and BR)

Fortnite servers not responding?

The Dragacorn glider was disabled with the v12.50 Fortnite update due to a couple glitches with the item.
