To Fortnite: Battle Royale surprisingly the update 7.10 has been released. What it contains, you can find out here.
This is included in the new update 7.10: The main highlight of the update is a new game mode event for Battle Royale. Weapons have been changed and some additional adjustments have been made. In Save the World, there are now the Frostnites and also new weapons and heroes.
The Features of Patch 7.10 in PvP
Event – 14 Days of Fortnite: The event “14 Days of Fortnite” comes with the patch but starts later. Every 2 days, a large team mode will rotate, and every 24 hours, a smaller one. There’s a lot of variety to be had.
Weapon Change – Heavy Assault Rifle: The heavy assault rifle now only shoots accurately when you aim. The aiming accuracy while aiming has been increased by 10% and remains 10% higher as long as you stand still. The vertical recoil has been reduced by 6% and the base accuracy by 30%. Accuracy is 60% lower while jumping and falling.
There were also minor changes:
- You can reactivate the glider only from a height of 576 units instead of the previous 1,000 when jumping from the airplane.
- Vehicles now skid on ice.
- No-scope kills are given special recognition.
- Planes take more damage when ramming objects and buildings; boosting only provides 50% damage reduction, not 100% anymore.
- As already known, players now take 50 instead of 25 points of damage when your plane explodes.
- Several bugs on the zip lines have been fixed.
This is changing in Creative mode: There are 4 new winter islands and you will receive prefabricated buildings with a winter theme. There are also numerous bug fixes and additional features in the creative mode. This way, you can now place even more winter-themed objects and even set up guards that will shoot at you!
What is missing? The snowboard! The update 7.10 was supposed to bring the new driftboard into the game. However, there were problems and Epic first postponed the update. Now the update has come after all, but the board has likely been removed for safety reasons.
The Patch Highlights of Update 7.10 in PvE
New Mode – Frostnite: Here, you have to survive as long as possible while enemies and the cold attack you. Therefore, you have to regularly throw new BluGlo into the oven.
New Weapons: There is now a medieval set consisting of an assault rifle, pistol, shotgun, and axe in winter llamas. The revolver “Gingerbread Gun” is available in Frostnite.
