Thanks again for the feedback and discussion you provided.
A very controversial change was brought to the game yesterday with Patch v6.21 which caused explosive weapons to do 25% damage through structures. Players turned to reddit to give their feedback and its safe to say they weren't happy.
As of today, November 2, the change will be reverted back to how it was before v6.21 and explosive damage will no longer occur through structures. This has been confirmed over on Twitter by Eric Williamson, Design Lead for Fortnite:
We'll be reverting the explosive damage change today - thanks for your feedback š
