Fortnite Battle Royale players will today be able to download a brand new patch.
The new Fortnite update – which comes hot on the heels of update 7.20 – is getting released on all formats today.
PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Android and iOS Fortnite fans can download the Fortnite patch now with Nintendo Switch users getting it later today.
The official Fortnite Twitter account revealed the news about the patch which fixes a number of issues that players have been experiencing.
The Fortnite Twitter account posted: “We have released a client update to fix some of the current issues.
“There will be no downtime, but the players will be required to download the update.”
Here are the fixes included in the latest Fortnite update:
• Trap selection
• Ghost peeking with scoped weapons
• Scythe pickaxe sounds
The Fortnite Twitter later added: “Client update for Switch will be available later today”.
The Fortnite update getting released today follows the launch of update 7.20 yesterday.
This marked the biggest Fortnite patch launch since before Christmas.
The two headline changes are the introduction of the Scoped Revolver and the new Glider Redeploy item.
The Scoped Revolver is a six-shot pistol that can be used at range.
“Six-shot pistol packs a punch and provides perfect accuracy at range,” reads the in-game teaser.
The Gliders item, meanwhile, is a new tool that lets you use your glider for a limited number of times.
“Activate Glider Redeploy as you normally would, you do not need to select the item,” Epic explains. “Each deploy will remove one charge, when all charges are used the item disappears.”
Fortnite update 7.20 also introduced the ‘One Shot’ limited time mode.
Describing it, the Fortnite patch notes said: “There’s low gravity and every player has 50 health.
“Snipers are the only weapon and Bandages the only healing item.
“Jump high and aim well!”
Since the release of Fortnite update 7.20 players have noticed a mysterious ice orb above Polar Peak.
It’s rumoured this will be the centre of a big event that will bring with it new challenges and have the Ice King play a pivotal role.
