Fortnite‘s 3.4 update is here, and it brings with it one of the biggest gameplay changes in a long time.

The update implements first shot accuracy for many of the game’s weapons, something first tried in the Shooting Test LTM in February.

Assault rifles, pistols, and SMGs will now all have 100 percent accuracy when fired for the first time in a while. The exact timeframe has not been revealed, but there will be a visual indication on the gun reticule to show that it’s active.

The weapons that have first shot accuracy now also have damage drop off, and a headshot multiplier of two times, down from 2.5.

Suppressed Submachine Gun and Tactical Submachine Gun

• Fall-off begins at 24 meters.
• Damage reduced to 80% at 35 meters.
• Damage reduced to 65% at 50 meters.

Pistol and Suppressed Pistol

• Fall-off begins at 28 meters.
• Damage reduced to 85% at 47.5 meters.
• Damage reduced to 75% at 70 meters.
• Damage reduced to 65% at 250 meters.

Revolver and Hand Cannon

• Fall-off begins at 35 meters.
• Damage reduced to 70% at 60 meters.
• Damage reduced to 40% at 85 meters.

Assault Rifle and Burst Assault Rifle

• Fall-off begins at 50 meters.
• Damage reduced to 80% at 75 meters.
• Damage reduced to 65% at 100 meters.

As had been expected, the update also adds the new vending machines into the game. Each vending machine will sell three different items for amounts of wood, stone, or metal. Common items will cost 100 resources, with legendary items costing 500.

Epic has also made some adjustments to resource farming, with a reduced variance in the total resources available on an item and an increase on wood generated.
