Fortnite fans have more content to play with as Update 12.30 hits the live servers soon for players and so far it's not looking like anything massive has arrived, some new incoming skin styles, what seems to be Deadpool's dual pistols and some upcoming fixes to the game.
Fortnite's update 12.21 wasn't anything to look at, with some changes to the servers, Awaken Oro challenges and some much-needed fixes for the general stability and game stability updates for PC, PS4, Xbox and Mobile devices, though it should be noted players are still reporting FPS issues for PC.

Bugfixes
As Fortnite does not release official patch notes, the official Fortnite Trello board is always something worth bookmarking to see upcoming changes that might be making their way to the servers. In this patch 12.30, there's a notable incoming fix of the unintentional carry or shakedown on the controller which Epic Games noted:
"We’ve made it easier to avoid performing a Carry or Shakedown when trying to perform a different action instead. Now, performing a Carry or Shakedown requires directly looking at the DBNO player."
