Epic Games has just rolled out a new update to Fortnite Battle Royale with some really interesting new features.
While the Zero Build mode hype is more or less starting to die down in Fortnite, the developers clearly haven’t said their last word yet. This Tuesday, April 5, 2022, they just released the patch notes for Update 20.10 with a new battle, new sniper, community vote, and several balancing fixes.
Epic Games has formalized the “Zero Construction” mode on Fortnite for a Battle Royale without construction.
Patch notes Fortnite update 20.10
“The battlefield evolves, an old weapon receives some modifications and a new assault rifle appears. here is Fortnite update 20.10, which you can enjoy in both Zero Build and Battle Royale. Because yes, construction is back on the island!
THE BATTLE FOR THE DAILY BUGLE
The IO and the forces of the rebellion gathered at the Daily Bugle to fight a great battle. Go ahead and help the rebellion fend off their opponents to get plenty of loot for your whole team! But be careful, Master Hunter Saber watches from above.
HEAVY SNIPER RIFLE REWORK
the heavy sniper rifle is back, not without having been modified to combat the resurgence of vehicles on the island. Its high-caliber ammo now deals bonus damage to vehicles, making it perfect for taking down a Titan tank or destroying an opponent’s defenses from a distance.
You will be able to find Rare, Epic, and Legendary Heavy Sniper Rifles in Chests, Rare Chests, or Supply Drops. Whether it’s a distant opponent or the armor of a vehicle, the heavy sniper rifle will defeat them without difficulty.
