In Fortnite, the content update 7.20 is coming today. Three things are leaving Fortnite, one weapon and two items. They are going to the vault. We are looking at the patch notes in English.
The update comes today without downtime for Fortnite, but it brings some significant changes.
The highlights of the patch notes for Fortnite: Battle Royale
These 2 items and 1 weapon are going out:
All these items are going to the vault and are no longer in the game. Whether and in which form they will return is uncertain.
New building in the Block: The “Omega Pyramid” is now in the Block. The Block in the northeast of the map regularly offers changing buildings created by players.
Mode is coming back: Sniper Shootout – here there are only weapons with scopes. New are suppressed sniper rifles and Legendary pistols with scopes. They were introduced in the last patches.
In Duo and Team mode in Sniper Shootout, it is not possible to revive teammates. Here, Epic even allows a little nod to Call of Duty in the patch notes and refers to downed players as “Down but not out” teammates. This is the name of a new mode in Blackout.
A snowman to throw
New item: The snowman disguise is new to Fortnite. You can throw the snowman (Primary Attack) or disguise yourself as a snowman (Secondary Attack). The disguise has 100 condition points and works like a shield. However, those who run as a snowman cannot build or use other items.
The snowman is common and can be found on the ground, in chests, and in supply llamas. You receive 5 of them.
Change to shield potions: There will now be more small shield potions, but fewer large ones. The two items are swapping their loot probabilities in chests and on the ground.
Fewer gliders and balloons: Hang gliders will soon be much rarer in chests (only 4.43% instead of 11.89%)
You will also find balloons much less often in chests (3.24% instead of 7.58%).
This could potentially solve Fortnite’s problem with too few shield potions.
Fewer vehicles and planes: Additionally, the spawn probability of quad crashers has been halved (50% instead of 100%) and planes in Fortnite are now much rarer (50% instead of 80%).
These are the highlights of the patch notes for Save the World
New challenge: In Save the World, the “Frostnite Challenge 4” – Cold Chaos is starting – You should focus on eliminating enemies in groups, as they mutate when they take damage and become stronger. This starts on January 24 at 1:00 AM.
New heroine: “Lynx Kassandra” is a mythic variant of the Swiftfoot subclass. She will be available during the event starting January 24 at 1:00 AM.
New weapon: The Keeper’s Will sword is a large sword with a high impact and a jump attack. It is obtained through the challenge. This could be the sword that was thought to come to Battle Royale.
Currently, a big event is raging in Fortnite:
