Epic pulled killed the too powerful Fortnite Guided rocket launcher in mid-April in order to give it a redesign. In today’s developer update video, senior designer Andrew Bains revealed that the work is done and the rocket is returning, with some big changes under the hood.

To address those concerns, Epic has nerfed the missile into something Bains described as more akin to a “scouting tool” than a small tactical nukeh. Movement speed, turning radius, damage, and damage radius have all been reduced, and the default ammo cap is 12.
The mouse and keyboard controls have also been improved, “to bring them more in line with the controller experience.”
