Although it's coming a little later than expected, the brand new update for Fortnite has arrived on all platforms. The version 2.5.0 patch makes some big changes and additions for both Battle Royale and Save the World modes, such as the addition of the new weapon for getting and new areas to understand more about in the popular PvP mode on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.Battle Royale has become home to the Impulse Grenade, a different type of Fortnite Skins, following a short delay, sends all nearby players flying a lengthy distance. It's a Blue rarity item, therefore it may only be seen in Treasure Chests and Supply Drops. You can get a glimpse at exactly what can do from the brief online video media below; it might lead to some hilarious match endings from the final circle.

Among the places you'll now find Treasure Chests in during Battle Royale matches are new "thematic Shrines hidden through the map." One of these is pictured inside gallery below, and so they appear to have a Chinese architectural turn to them. Meanwhile, Save the World has introduced new heroes and Dragon weapons themed about the Lunar New Year (also pictured below).

Other notable changes to Battle Royale include some technical changes for PS4 and Xbox One players. The standard versions of such consoles now feature dynamic resolution and high quality temporal upsampling; the previous seeks to make certain a smooth framerate by lowering the resolution when needed. Those on an Xbox One X are now able to play at "full" 4K, while PS4 players should no more experience excessively slow Fortnite patch downloads.In terms of balance, various adjustments are already made, for example the temporary removing of the SMG weapon, which had been done to create some a little space for other weapons that are already added to the action. Additionally, several backpacks are now lower the probability that to drop, like the crossbow, minigun, and Chug Jug. There have been some notable audio improvements, like the crossbow setting up a noise whether it is ready to fire again. There are also now "above" and "below" versions of footstep sounds when running on wood, stone, or metal.

Save the World--which remains in paid early access and often will eventually be free of charge everyone--also receives some significant additions in Fortnite Weapons. In addition to the aforementioned Dragon weapons and Lunar New Year heroes, the Heartbreaker Crossbow is currently available. Most importantly, the Spring It On event has started, introducing new quests and rewards, with a lot more to be added within the coming weeks.
