Fortnite Ballistic’s v33.30 update arrives on January 31, 2025, introducing the Drum Gun and significant balance changes. This update continues the early access development, with more weapons, Flex Gadgets, and maps planned for the future.
Fortnite Ballistic Update: Balance Changes
The Drum Gun, ideal for close-to-mid-range combat, boasts high damage output and a large magazine. Its strength lies in suppressing fire and controlling tight spaces. While sustained fire increases recoil, controlled bursts improve accuracy. The Drum Gun is available in the Buy Menu for 3500 Credits.
Weapon balance changes affect the Hammer Pump Shotgun, Frenzy Auto Shotgun, and Reaper Sniper Rifle. The Hammer Pump Shotgun sees increased point-blank and mid-range damage, slightly reduced long-range damage, and a lower headshot multiplier. The Frenzy Auto Shotgun receives slight damage increases at point-blank and mid-range, and slightly reduced long-range damage. The Reaper Sniper Rifle’s first shot accuracy recovery time is reduced, and its magazine size increases to five.

The pre-match “waiting for players” screen now displays the number of players needed to start the match.
