The Update 15.20 in Fortnite is here and brings 2 new weapons and some map changes. MeinMMO shows you what has changed in the game.
This is what’s happening in Fortnite: Today, on January 13th, Update 15.20 will be applied. This is the first patch applied after the Christmas break. We have summarized the most important changes for you and created a version of German patch notes.
2 new weapons in the game
What’s new? Update 15.20 has introduced 2 new weapons into the game. These are a shotgun and a new exotic weapon in the form of dual pistols.
The guns were partly leaked by data miners some time ago:
Lever Action Shotgun
What kind of weapon is this? The new shotgun comes in 5 rarities: common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary. The magazine allows you to fire 8 rounds before you need to reload.
The reload time is said to be 5.7 seconds. One player showed that the damage from the common shotgun is 93 damage. This means you can take away a decent portion of health points from your opponents. The new Lever Action Shotgun is celebrated by Fortnite players.
Hop Rock Dualies
What kind of weapon is this? The new dual pistol is part of the exotic weapons of Season 5. Since it is exotic, you can only find it with a specific character on the map. So far, it’s not quite clear where exactly to find it. Here you can see the weapon:
However, if you want to go hunting for it, you need to keep in mind that you have enough bars in your inventory. Exotic weapons can indeed cost quite a fortune. If you want to quickly collect some bars, we have gathered some tips for you.
Map changes to Update 15.20
Some things on the map have also changed, but they may not all be immediately obvious. We will show you what is now different.
Colosseum gets a new look
What’s different now? A leak had already hinted that there would be some changes at the Colossal Colosseum. With Update 15.20, this has now happened. Where there was once sand, there is now water and Viking ships on top.
Ship of Predator landed?
What’s new now? Update 15.20 brought another change to the map. A mysterious ship is now said to have landed in Stealthy Stronghold.
Some players suspect that it is the ship from “The Predator” and that he could be the next hunter in line. Here’s what the ship discovered by players looks like:
Update 15.20 brought some changes that players can now explore. Also new weapons that you can discover and try out. It remains exciting to see how Season 5 will continue in the coming weeks.
For Season 6, players already have a theory. Some believe that Kevin the Cube from Chapter 1 could return and cause chaos on the map.
