To Fortnite: Battle Royale Update version 7.10 has been released. In the official Patch Notes in German, you will find changes to the airplane, the Boombox, and the new suppressed Sniper Rifle.
This is included in the new update for 7.10: The highlight of the update is the new Sniper Rifle with a suppressor. Many players are already fearing this and expect a plethora of nasty snipers and campers. Additionally, there is a nerf of the airplane and the controversial Boombox.
In the PvE mode, there are two new cool weapons.
The features of the patch for 7.10 in PvP
New weapon – Suppressed Sniper Rifle: This new weapon made waves even before release. Many players fear the silent death and the cunning tricks capable players could pull with it. How the new weapon will perform in the meta is yet to be seen. Its stats are as follows:
- Availability: Epic and Legendary
- Damage: 100/105
The rifle is silent and must be reloaded after every shot.
New weapon – Twin Pistols: The dual pistols are back.
Item change – Boombox: The controversial Boombox is being changed. It is now 33 percent rarer to find, has only 400 instead of 600 hit points, and lasts only 18 seconds instead of 25 seconds.
Item change – X-4 Stormwing: The airplane has received another nerf. The push effect is 70 percent less. However, the impact damage the plane takes when colliding with buildings has been reduced by 50 percent.
When the booster is used, the X-4 only takes 25 percent of the damage. The plane’s MG is now less accurate and has a spread of 75 percent. The aircraft now spawns only with 80 percent of the former probability. Additionally, the airplane can no longer fly higher than the maximum build height.
Weapon change – Peacemaker: The Revolver from Season 6 has been removed again and is now in the vault.
Weapon change – Burst Assault Rifle: The regular versions of this weapon have now also been removed from the game. Only the epic and legendary versions of the weapon remain.
New Area – The Block: In the Block, a new area is at play. It is a kind of giant bounce house created by user KojackNumber2.
This is changing in Creative Mode: Here you will also find the suppressed Sniper Rifle.
