In order to make it semi-competitive, Epic has enabled friendly fire -- something that was present in the Battle Royale mode when it first launched -- and allowed for unlimited respawns (unless a player is killed by the storm).

Aspiring builders will pleased to know that resources are gathered at 10 times the normal rate and 100 llamas are also present to deliver materials, traps, health, shields and other damage-based items.

Playground is undoubtedly the most notable part of today's update, but Epic has also made a number of tweaks to in-game weapons.

First is the introduction of Dual Pistols, epic and legendary guns that individually shoot separate rounds with one trigger press.

Tactical and Silenced SMGs have also been given slight boosts, with improvements made to both accuracy and damage values.

Other tweaks include new markers, which now display a colored beam of light on the island itself, rather than just inside the map.

There's no word yet on how Epic intends to change building dynamics inside its mega-popular battle royale shooter.
