Fortnite V3.3 Update Brings NEW Weapon and more improvements!

Epic Games have released patch notes for the latest update to the hugely successful Fortnite!

Fortnite Battle Royale is a FREE 100 Player PvP mode where players are dropped onto an island and must survive using a variety of weapons and through collecting materials. You can play by yourself or with friends in a duo or squad. The last player or team standing wins!

(Battle Royale is a part of the main Fortnite game (the main mode is called Save The World). This ‘Save the World’ mode is still in development and early access to it can be purchased. However, Battle Royale mode can be downloaded and played for free)

The main new addition in this latest update is the availability of ‘remote explosives’ in Battle Royale mode. Here is a new trailer:

Also added to the game is the new Supply Llama! This provides players with a new way to find valuable loot in Battle Royale mode!

Save the World mode is also getting a new questline:
