In Fortnite the new update 10.20 from September 3rd is here. We show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
What does the update bring? With the new patch, the Zapper Trap comes into the game. A trap that can be positioned on both sides of an area.
Additionally, the floating island and the motel are back in the game.
The Zapper Trap in Fortnite – Stats
What is known about the Zapper Trap? The trap is a throwable consumable that takes up one slot in the inventory. After impact, a trap is placed on both sides of the building section, causing damage.
The special thing: If you throw the trap on a free terrain area, the trap automatically builds a wall and positions itself on both sides.
The stats:
- Enemy players are shocked within a tile
- It deals 50 damage
- There is a delay of 0.5 seconds after activation
- After activation, the traps take 2 seconds to recharge
The trap is epic and can be found on the ground, in chests, in vending machines, llamas, and supply drops.
You find the Zapper Trap in stacks of two and can carry a maximum of 4.
The Floating Island – New Rift Zone
What kind of zone is this? As a new location, the floating island returned to Fortnite. It is not fixed in one place but slowly moves across the map. The motel is located on it.
With a vortex, you can reach the island. It is not connected to the land.
That this island would return had also been suspected by data miners.

New in the Shop: A new weapon that provides music is now available in the weekly shop. It is the “Intense Mix Pistol.” It is supposed to awaken the dance fever in the skins.
