In Fortnite, a new weapon is known. The so-called “Chiller Grenade” will come with the next patch, but fans are excited about the Driftboard, which has been promised for a long time. The weapon will be available on Tuesday with the new update 7.30.
What happened? Epic Games announced a new weapon for the next patch. The weapon is a grenade that apparently freezes the opponent.
But many fans still wonder where the snowboard is, which Epic has already announced. The Season 7 is slowly coming to an end, making the release of the snowboard less likely.
This is the new weapon in Fortnite
What can the grenade do? Not much is known about how the grenade works. However, looking at the grenade, it certainly has something to do with ice.
How could it work? Epic describes the grenade with “Give your opponent cold feet with this wintry grenade!” So it seems likely that it may work like the Ice Traps that were introduced in Season 7.
This trap freezes the feet of the opponents, making it difficult for them to walk properly, causing them to slide along the ground. This makes aiming significantly harder. It is not known if the grenade produces the same effect, but many players suspect a similar function already.
Update 7.30 is coming on Tuesday, brings new weapon
When could the grenade come to the game? Epic announces the grenade for the next patch. Patches usually come on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So we can look forward to the new weapon soon.
The weapon will likely be included in update 7.30.
Update 21:06 hrs: It is now known. Update 7.30 will be available on Tuesday, January 29th, at 10:00 AM German time.
What players are saying: The grenade is well received by many players. They see the weapon as a keepsake for Season 7. Once the ice has melted, this icy weapon will still remind players of the cold winter days in Fortnite.
So “iceek51” writes on Reddit: “It’s just like the Rift-to-Go! This way you can carry a little bit of Season 7 in your pocket when the next season starts.”
Players demand the snowboard: Some time ago, Epic promised players a snowboard as a means of transport. However, the player community is still waiting impatiently for the feature.
Season 7 ends on February 28, and the ice is already melting. It’s hard to imagine that a snowboard can still travel over meadows and sand by that time. A release on the snow map would have made much more sense.
So player “Pedro-Rangel” asks on Reddit: “Where the hell is the snowboard?!”
What do you think of the new weapon? Do you think the snowboard will still come in this season?
