For the next patch for Fortnite: Battle Royale on Thursday, new remote detonations are expected alongside llamas. They could replace the unpopular smoke grenades. The latter are being removed as no one seems to enjoy using them.
Players of Fortnite: Battle Royale are anticipating the next patch this Thursday. If the maintenance follows the pattern of recent weeks, the servers should go down at around 10:00 AM. If all goes smoothly, Fortnite will be back up along with the new patch 3.3 around noon on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Sticky Bombs are coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale
It is already known that llamas will be added to the game as a new loot opportunity spread across the island. Furthermore, the unpopular smoke grenades are set to disappear, as no one has used them.
An alternative to these smoke grenades could be a new type of weapon that Epic has just announced. These are “remote detonations,” which players will likely be able to place and then detonate remotely.

These remote detonations might also play an important role in the weekly challenges that Epic regularly devises.
New weapons are continually being added to Fortnite: Battle Royale. The latest were the hunting rifle and the crossbow. These remote detonations are likely to be the next additions.
Also interesting is the question: What will the new Limited Time Mode in Fortnite be? Epic is keeping this under wraps for now. It is possible that vehicles may play a role here.
Currently, there is a lot happening with Fortnite:
- Many seem to be signing up for the mobile version. There were some issues yesterday. Invitations are expected to be sent out during the week.
- However, the Chinese company NetEase has already gotten ahead of Epic and has boldly launched their version of Fortnite, Fortcraft.
- Additionally, crossplay is a hot topic in the game. If it’s up to Epic, they want to be a pioneer in bringing all players together across all platforms.
