It’s time for the first new downloadable Fortnite update since the launch of season X. Players were introduced to Tilted Town and the new Automatic Sniper Rifle last week, and now v10.10 is bringing an old location back to the map.
Here are the patch notes for the latest Fortnite update.
Retail Row
Retail Row has returned after this week gave players a look at another rift beacon appearing at Mega Mall. Rift beacons tend to appear at locations that are about to change, and Mega Mall has now become its former point-of-interest.
But the controversial zombies (also known as Fiends) can also be found at the new Retail Row.
World Run LTM
The World Run limited-time mode has been added, which pits four teams of 16 against one another to see who can be the first to collect 30 coins.
“Dip, dodge, and duck through treacherous traps, lava pits, and more to become the world’s fastest lane runner,” Epic Games said.
B.R.U.T.E. changes
Players have been awaiting changes to the B.R.U.T.E. vehicles in the game, leading to #RemoveTheMech trending worldwide on Twitter after a fan movement. Epic has made some changes to the vehicles.
- Added a targeting laser that appears as players load and fire missiles.
- In addition to the B.R.U.T.E.’s gunner, this laser is visible to opponents and teammates.
- This is to help give clarity to all players on where a gunner is aiming their rockets before they’re fired.
- Improved visual and audio feedback during the self-destruct sequence.
- B.R.U.T.E.s can now be entered directly from glider mode.
- Updated B.R.U.T.E. spawn logic for large team respawn game modes.
- B.R.U.T.Es will now spawn intermittently throughout the match instead of waiting for Storm phases to end.
- B.R.U.T.E.s abandoned in the Storm will self-destruct after 30 seconds.
- B.R.U.T.E.s will reappear on the minimap after 15 seconds if no player is in either seat.
Chests and ammo boxes
Chests and ammo boxes will now open when destroyed. There is a bug where destroying the object a chest is on won’t drop anything and it’ll be fixed in the v10.20 update.
Fortnite’s v10.10 update will require some downtime for server maintenance, and as a result, players should expect to wait up to two hours before being able to log in. The wait is usually way shorter, however.
Once the downtime has ended and players have downloaded the update, all of the new additions will be available to play around with.
The patch notes include many more bug fixes and gameplay additions. You can view the full notes on Epic’s website.
