Fortnite: Battle Royale is bringing another big update with all sorts of new features to the servers. A new dynamite item is coming, and the already leaked Wild West mode should also go online today.
The next big things in Fortnite: Last Update 6.30 last week brought a huge wave of new features, including the Food Fight mode. But Epic is not resting and will probably roll out the next mode this week.
Therefore, with today’s update, there will be the new item dynamite and also the already leaked Western mode right afterward.
Update is here: Meanwhile, the new update to version 6.30 has been released. Here you can find the patch notes in German.
More info on update 6.30
When is the update coming? The new update for Fortnite will be played to the servers today, on November 20, 2018, at 2:00 PM our time.
What’s the deal with the Wild West mode? According to the already known leaks about the new mode, the Wild West mode will focus on simple weapons and items. This means in plain terms:
- No automatic weapons, instead revolvers, shotguns, and hunting rifles
- No explosive weapons, except for dynamite
- No traps
- No shields, but more slurp juices
Why should you play the Wild West mode? The new mode is specifically designed for players who find the current meta in Fortnite too hectic and stressful.
In the Wild West mode, things are more relaxed, and you probably need more skill to get kills with shotgun, revolver, or hunting rifle. And the annoying turrets are also not there.
Is Deadfire coming back? You might also get the cool Cowboy Skin Deadfire again as an offer in the shop. Otherwise, Wild West fans still have the season 6 super skin Calamity for battle pass owners.
More details on the new Fortnite update will be available later on MeinMMO when the patch notes are released.
The Western theme fits Fortnite, as Epic’s battle royale game snatched the coveted award from the Western epic Red Dead Redemption 2 at an award ceremony:
