Over the last 24 hours, Fortnite servers were down for updates. Don’t you worry though because the game is back with a new content update! Below is a list of the new features in Fortnite’s new v4.4 content update.
Stink Bombs in Fortnite
Fornite players will now be able to create their own dangerous circle with the addition of stink bombs. The new weapon allows players to create a cloud over their enemies. The cloud lasts for nine seconds, deals damage to opponents and also makes it difficult to see in the area of the cloud. Players can also loot in stacks of three, with a maximum of five.
Final Fight: Teams of 20
The new limited time mode brings a unique experience for the Battle Royale. In the new game mode, teams compete against each other with the objective being the last team standing. During the match, the storm circle will stop closing in after the third cycle. Once the storm’s movement is halted, a final countdown timer will begin. Upon expiration of the timer, the team with the most players left standing will win. This mode will also see the introduction of ties. All teams that are tied for the lead at the end of the match will be declared the winners.
Nerf for Explosive Weapons
Introduced a couple of weeks ago, Fornite released a new update restricting the number of explosive ammo players can hold. Players will now be able to carry just 12 explosive ammo during the match. The ammo restriction should eliminate rocket spamming late in a game.
