    @EpicGames Fix your game Fortnite. I personally think the Lever Action Shotgun is over powered in my opinion.

    @FortniteGame i'm constantly getting a download error glitch/bug every time i go back to the lobby, not sure if other people are experiencing this but its pretty annoying eventually closing the app fixes it. i'm playing on a s21+ not sure if that matters or not.
