Many players still haven’t gotten a chance to experience the new sniper in action. Despite the addition of the new suppressed sniper, Epic Games and the third Fortnite 7.10 content update adds multiple other tweaks.
The sniper rifle has its pros and cons. Namely, it may sound nice and sneaky but it is definitely not the most desired

drops . - A single shot, scoped sniper rifle.

- Deals 100/105 base damage
- Six Shooter has been vaulted.
- The following variants of the Burst Assault Rifle have been vaulted:
- Uncommon, Common, Rare

unvaulted . - Dynamite drop rate reduced by 40%.

Furthermore, this update adds more of the 14 Days of Fortnite challenge. Epic Games intentions are to increase the duration of the same, allowing players to get some extra rewards. Other than that, the whole meta somewhat remains the same, unless there’s enough power found in the return of the dual pistols.
X-4 Stormwing adjustments are also being made, considered both as buffs and nerfs.
