To Fortnite: Battle Royale has received a small content update with Patch 9.30. This brings a new weapon for Battle Royale, the Drum Shotgun. Additionally, there are new heroes and items for Save the World.
What’s in the new update for Patch 9.30: The content update arrived on the servers without much announcement and brings a quirky new weapon for Battle Royale, the Drum Shotgun. It was already leaked beforehand and is now finally in the game.
The Features of the Update for Patch 9.30 in PvP
New Weapon – Drum Shotgun: This new shotgun is the only addition in the PvP mode.
- Availability: common, uncommon, and rare
- Damage: 45 / 47 / 50
- Ammunition: Shells
- Magazine: 12 shots
The new weapon is available on the ground, in vending machines, and from loot drones.
What’s being removed? Nothing. Contrary to many assumptions, the unpopular tactical shotgun remains in the game, even though it is likely to become even more redundant with the new Drum Shotgun.
Fans of the bizarre NERF conspiracy theory are probably rubbing their hands in glee.
What’s changing in Creative Mode: In Creative Mode, you can now build numerous structures from the Paradise Palms biome, creating more summer and vacation vibes.
