Fortnite 12.60 update patch notes: The Agency storm, PC aim assist

Epic Games have announced the v12.60 update for Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 2, and we’ve got everything you need to know, including the release time, downtime info, and the unofficial patch notes.

Season 2 is slowly but surely winding down to a close in Fortnite, which means v12.60 might be the last big update we get before Season 3 kicks off on June 4.

With many complaining about the severe lack of new content in the game, even a late-season patch like this one is enough to get a lot of people excited at what it could potentially contain.

Clouds appearing over The Agency

Players have noticed that clouds appear to be forming a circle over The Agency location on the map, potentially a teaser for a Hurricane?

This possibly ties in with the Doomsday event, expected to lead us into the next season.

Storm the Agency Challenges

There is a new set of challenges too, which tie in with the possibility of a Hurricane at The Agency.

It’s not clear yet what Epic has planned for this map location, but a leak previously indicated big changes are on the way.
