In Fortnite, the new update 4.4 is coming today for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and iOS. We have the patch notes in English for you. There we read about a new weapon coming in the update. Additionally, traps can soon be better concealed: they will stick to slopes.
Slope Traps: The new update brings a change for Fortnite: Battle Royale and Fortnite: Save the World: traps can now be placed on stairs and slanted roofs. In Battle Royale, this only affects the “Bounce Trap”, but in Save the World, it affects a whole range of floor traps, including the popular floor grill and spike traps.
The Highlights from Patch Notes 4.4 for Fortnite: Battle Royale
New Mode Sniper Shootout V3 is coming: In comparison to the last version, there will be no crossbow and less ammunition, but even more players will be running around with sniper rifles than already do. Because now you can also simply pick them up from the ground.
New Mode: 50v50 V3: Epic is adjusting the storm, wants to bring the fight more to the center, also tweaking the flight paths of the battle buses to perfect the mode – in addition, they have significantly increased the drop rates of items and ammunition. This should not be a problem anymore.
New Weapon “Infrared Rifle”: An infrared rifle with a scope is in the game, available in Epic (36 damage) and Legendary (37 damage). The weapon provides an important tactical advantage: with the rifle, you can see opponents, as well as treasure chests and supply drops.
More Range in Fortnite: The maximum range of almost all weapons has been increased from 250 to 275, as players can now be recognized at that distance.
New Soccer Field: A new soccer field has been added in the north of the map. In line with the challenges, where you must visit 3 soccer fields. Until now, there were only two in the game.
The Important Changes in Patch Notes 4.4 for Fortnite: Save the World
Do Not Give Cheaters a Chance: An anti-cheat system is now active in Save the World.
Quest Continues: Part 3 of Blockbuster is now live. Here, players can hire the mythical ninja “The Cloaked Star”, a Shinobi.
Devastating Sniper Rifle: A sniper rifle “Obliteration Sniper Rifle” is coming to the event shop. This is a slow-firing rifle that penetrates walls and shields. It is said to be particularly well-suited for demolishing buildings.
Melee Stronger. Epic has significantly strengthened melee weapons with the patch, increasing damage by between 57% and 113%. However, weapons will also wear out faster.
