Fortnite 21.20 patch notes: 5 biggest changes
The latest Fortnite update brings Indiana Jones to the party, as well as unvaulting old-favourite items and brand new weapons.
Fortnite 21.20 is here, and there’s plenty to check out in this new update, coming to all Fortnite platforms. We’ve got new skins, a new event, a revamped location, a new weapon, and an unvaulted item. We’ll tell you everything important this update added/changed so you know exactly what to look out for when you jump back into the game later today.
Indiana Jones skin – Fortnite
As has been rumoured for a little while, Indiana Jones is finally making his way to Fortnite as an unlockable skin. You’ll need to own the Battle Pass, and then complete a series of challenges to unlock it. The challenges go live at 9am ET/2pm BST today, and will be available until the end of Chapter 3 Season 3.
Charge SMG – Fortnite
A new weapon has reared its head with this update, and the Charge SMG promises to make quite the splash. With this gun you hold down the fire button to charge a gauge, the more you charge it, the more bullets shoot once you release the button. It has some interesting potential on the battlefield but we must, unfortunately, say goodbye to the Combat SMG, which has now been vaulted.
Port-A-Fort – Fortnite
Building in Fortnite is a fiddly process, and even if you’re very good at it, building a good defensive structure can take vital seconds you don’t always have. The Port-A-Fort has come out of the vault to fix that problem, simply throw this item on the ground and a big fort will pop up in front of you in an instant.
Shuffled Shrines – Fortnite
What was previously known as the temple POI has now been given its own featured spot on the Fortnite map as Shuffled Shrines. There are all sorts of goodies waiting for you there, and you can find it just west of The Joneses.
Reality Sapling bug fix – Fortnite
For a little while, an annoying bug has been popping up where a Reality Sapling you had planted would have its icon in the wrong place on the map. This has now been fixed, and you can once again trust the map to point you towards your Reality Saplings.]
You can see the full list of changes and bug fixes in this update on Epic’s official Fortnite blog.
