Epic Games has just rolled out a new update to Fortnite, which adds its share of new features and allows players to discover a new area, in particular. A mythical weapon is also in the game, while the heavy shotgun is back, after several balancing. To not miss anything from this update, you will find all the details communicated by Epic Games below.
Fortnite Update 19.20
Covert Cavern, new area
As we told you, a new area has appeared on the map of Fortnite. This is located in the mountains north of Camp Cuddle and includes a high-tech set. Named Covert Cavernyou will also have a chance to find the mythical version of the Stinger submachine gun, a powerful variant, but with a fairly pronounced recoil. Also, the loot in this area will, of course, be very interesting.
Return of the Heavy Shotgun
A new weapon also comes out of the shed, with the heavy shotgun, drastically modified for the occasion. It has a unique projectile, therefore requiring precision to hit and knock down your opponent. We find it in chests and as floor loot, but also in supply drops.
Finally, this update unlocks the masks for the Native skins, available with the Season 1 Chapter 3 Battle Pass. Tornadoes and thunderstorms have also been added to Team Rumble mode. As for Competitive mode and bug fixes, here’s what Epic Games said:
NOTES ON COMPETITIVE MODES
- The Mythic Stinger Submachine Gun is not available in Competitive game modes, but the Heavy Shotgun is available immediately.
- Although most new or reintroduced items go through a period of evaluation before being added to competitive game modes, we made an exception for the Heavy Shotgun, as it was designed to require a higher level of game to be effective.
- As we announced last week, Spider-Man’s web shooter now only has 20 shots instead of 80 in competitive game modes. The goal is to force players to use it more strategically without reducing its effectiveness as a mobility tool.
MAJOR BUGS FIXES
- Fixed an issue where the visual indicator for using a Recovery Van would appear before its sound effect could be heard.
- Fixed an issue with recording some tournament games, causing points earned in those games to be lost.
- Fixed an issue where eliminated players would sometimes drop a Spider-Man web shooter at max ammo when it wasn’t at max ammo before the player was eliminated.
