Fortnite update today: v19.20 patch notes
As revealed on the official Fortnite website, these big changes have been made to the game’s battle-royale mode:
- New point of interest Covert Cavern added to the map – it’s exact location is described as “inside the mountains north of Camp Cuddle”
- A snazzy weapon can be found at Covert Cavern – it’s a Mythic version of the Stinger SMG
- Speaking of weapons, the Heavy Shotgun is back in the game – “It’s now single slug, longer-range, and requires more accuracy”
- You can now collect Haven’s Masks – a series of quests relating to these wearables can be found in the Battle Pass
- Tornado and lightning weather events have been added to Team Rumble
Note: the Mythic Stinger SMG will not be available in competitive matches, but the Heavy Shotgun will be. And, as we were told to expect last week, the Spider-Man Mythic Web-Shooters will now only have 20 shots instead of 80 in competitive games.
Epic Games also announced that the following bug fixes have been rolled out in today’s Fortnite update:
- Fixed an issue involving the visual indicator for using a Reboot Van appearing at a greater distance than the sound could be heard
- Fixed an issue involving matches sometimes not being recorded during a tournament session and the points earned in those matches becoming lost
- Fixed an issue involving Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters dropping from eliminated players with a full stock of uses even if it didn’t have a full stock before the player was eliminated
A number of changes have also been made to Fortnite Creative, as Epic Games revealed on a different informative webpage. You can click that link to learn all about it, but the headline changes include the addition of fire effects and a fuel system for vehicles.
