Fly Explosives mode, a new sniper rifle, and nerfed Guided Missiles are on the way.
Fortnite’s 5.10 update is coming tomorrow at 5 p.m. PDT, and it will include a new mode, a new gun, and the return of an old gun with some modifications.
In a post today, Epic Games detailed 5.10’s content. One of the biggest editions is Fly Explosives, a limited-time mode that gives players jetpacks and arms them only with explosive weapons. The jetpacks will be tweaked a bit with increased fuel regeneration rates and decreased fuel burn rates to keep players airborne longer than normal when playing Fly Explosives. Epic is also expecting matches to be shorter than 20 minutes thanks to lowered between-storm wait times to help players quickly find the needed loot.
Continuing with the rocket propellant and explosives theme, the Guided Missile weapon will return to Fortnite after some time on the shelf. The Guided Missile was removed from the game in April after player complaints that it was too powerful, so it’s no surprise that this new iteration has been nerfed. Here are all its new stats directly from Epic:
- Available in epic and legendary variants
- Fuse duration reduced from 18 to 15 seconds
- Movement speed decreased from 1100 to 1000
- Reload time increased to 2.4/2.2
- Reduced player damage from 105/110 down to 74/77 damage
- Reduced structure damage down from 1100 to 400
- Explosions now damage structures with no regard for line of sight
- Guided Missile can also be controlled via keyboard using the default movement inputs
As for the all-new weapon being added, it’s a sniper rifle, but it’s not the leaked Heavy Sniper Rifle that can shoot through walls. The Spyglass Sniper Rifle is part of the Flintlock Weapon set and is said to be a “powerful” rifle that fires a single shot per magazine but “packs a punch,” meaning players should expect a lot of kickback when firing.
The latest patch will also fix an issue with slurp juice, allowing it to once again be looted, but there’s no word on the proposed slurp juice changes. And be sure to check out the full…
