Season V4.0 Patch

This Season Starts off with a bang from outer space. Season V4.0 for both Battle Royale and Save the World are feeling the shock of a meteor shower that hit their world. This event depicts what will happen throughout season 4.0.

Battle Royale

Nothing has changed with the in-game structure. It still is the more you play the more you earn. What you do get is a 100 tiers of rewards. The Epic team have also ripped of Jet Grind Radio with Fort Taging. Spray graffiti over your opponent’s fort with some lively colors and more. Anti Gravit is here and if you ingest one of the glowing rocks from inside the meteor you float. Because of everyone floats…right.

Save The World

Get ready to gear up as you join Lok and his team of superheroes to investigate the comet. Expect to get extra loot when you destroy Husks. That includes building materials, ammo and more.

What’s new with the Fortnite v3.4 Patch

March 29th, 2018 v3.4 Patch comes with some major updates for gameplay, weapons and more. Much like their valentines update, players will be receiving special Easter-themed skins to kick off this week’s major patch.

Guided Missile Launcher and Easter Egg Launchers

Added weapons such as the guided missile launcher as well as everyone’s favorite boogie bomb to the Battle Royale Arena. The Guided Missle Launcher allows players to launch a missile and take direct control of it ultimately leading the explosive to the player’s target of choice. Players can pull away from the missile sending the missile on it’s navigated trajectory.

Save the World receives temporary cosmetic weapons upgrade from Grenade Launcher to Egg Launcher. This temporary skin rings in Easter with a bang.

Sniper vs Sniper Reboot

Players will also notice the new mode titled Sniper Shootout v2. This is a limited time mode that uses long-range defensive weapons like crossbows and rifles and more. Don’t expect to use close range weapons like the version before. Epic Games decided to keep the sniper mode strictly long range with no exception.

Technical Updates

This patch also includes some major technical updates and bug fixes for both desktop and mobile. The focus on crossplay connectivity is a major focus for epic games with the way console players can manage friends, Party Invites and the Party Finder.
