Epic's survival game "Fortnite Battle Royale" released patch 1.28 on Nov. 8, Wednesday. For Xbox users, the size of the update is 603 megabytes (MB); PlayStation (PS) 4 users will need to download a 370 MB file; and on PC, players should expect a much larger update at 1950 MB.

The patch came with the Bush, which allows players to blend in with the background while they are exploring the location. It can be found on chests and supply drops. However, players should take care of the item as it can be used only once and is rather delicate. So, players should use it wisely and avoid anything that could wreak the Bush since the legendary item is a big help for camouflaging in the game.

"When you aren't creeping around the world in your new camouflage, check out the Season Shop! It's a store filled with seasonal gliders, outfits and harvesting tools," Epic Games said. The Season Shop is available for players by unlocking and surpassing certain levels.

The update also fixed some player issues of the game. Players will now be able to raise and lower weapons in 0.4 and 0.45 seconds, respectively. This is a big improvement from the past's 0.25 seconds for both actions, which the developer said was "unintentionally" decreased in the previous update.

The patch also increased the range of the pump shotgun. Players can now deliver 100 percent damage to enemies from a distance of 7.68 meters. At 18 meters, enemies will see 70 percent damage, 20 percent at 30 meters, and no damage at 41 meters.

Along with this good news is Epic's announcement that "Fortnite" had reached more than 20 million players. "We just passed 20 million players across all of Fortnite since launch! Thanks from the bottom of our [hearts]," the developer revealed through Twitter.
