The latest Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 hotfix introduced a host of balancing changes to the properties and statistics of certain weapons, affecting the gameplay for players who rely on them.
While Epic Games has indicated the changes, data that was mined from the hotfix files by legacy leakers and data miners such as @ShiinaBR, @Hypex, and others have provided statistics on fire rate, damage, as well as reload times.
Note: The statistics of weapons have been data-mined and are subject to change based on Epic Games' discretion.
As part of the update, the typhoon blade deals 28 HP damage to players instead of 30, with a decrease of two hitpoints. Additionally, the Holo AR received a nerf in terms of fire rate and reload speed. It saw a change from 150/161/166/178/183/194 HP to 140/151/156/166/172/182 HP as well as a change in 6% decrease and a 4% reduction in fire rate and reload speed respectively.
Weapons introduced in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 were affected by this balancing as well. The Oni shotgun shoots 8% faster while the twinfire shotgun and the veiled SMG reload 5% faster. As for the Fury AR, it now has a 2% faster reload speed. These changes could impact the way fans of these popular weapons use them in-game as they compete to complete the season's battle pass.
