New weapons, skins and scenery for Creative
Epic Games battle royale titleFortnitehas let loose its latest patch.Update 9.01adds more weapons, items and skins to the globally popular multiplayer title, along with the usual run of performance fixes.
Joining the arsenal is the new Tactical Assault Rifle, a close-quarters, rapid-fire weapon which is very effective at mid-range, but perhaps loses its impact over longer distances. Speaking of firearms, the Drum Gun has received a damage nerf, as it was proving far more effective a weapon than intended.
For Creative mode, a range of pre-wrecked buildings is now available. These pre-fabs include post-apocalyptic looking houses, clock towers, apartment blocks and more, allowing you to create your very own miserable wasteland. Save the World hasn’t been forgotten, with enemy-generating Mist Pods now littering the battlezone. Also available is the new “Prehistoric Izza” skin, turning the hero into some kind of bolero jacket-wearing reptile because reasons.
For details on the new additions, balance changes and bug fixes, check out the patch notesover at the official blog.Fortniteis available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and iOS and Android devices.
