Epic Games Just Added a New Fortnite Update With a Few Weapons Changes

Epic Games released a brand new update today in Fortnite, and it actually has changed a few things that weapons experts should examine. You can check out the full list of notes here for 5.10, but we have the more pressing stuff for Battle Royale below. The biggest that people will enjoy is that Guided Missiles have returned from the Fortnite Vault and back into the game.

LIMITED TIME MODE: FLY EXPLOSIVES

Summary
This mode combines the explosive fun of the High Explosives LTM and the vaulted Limited Time Item Jetpack. Take to the skies and blast everyone else back to the lobby!

Mode Details

• Only Explosive Weapons can be found in this mode.
• Floor Loot spawners will occasionally spawn Jetpacks.
• Fly Explosives Jetpacks have increased fuel regen rate & decreased burn rate compared to Default Jetpacks, to keep pilots in the sky a bit longer.
• Between-storm wait times have been reduced due to players needing less time to find adequate loot (avg. match length should be lower than 20m).
• Rocket Ammunition capped at 120.
• Profile Stats (K/D & Wins) are tracked in this mode.
