Weapons and objects

Proximity Grenade Launcher

For proximity damage, but from a distance!

The Proximity Grenade Launcher lands on Fortnite

A new weapon has arrived on Fortnite's Battle Royale mode with update 9.21.

Shield Potion

  • Increased the availability from Chest loot from 11.3% to 12.09%

Small Shield Potion

Increased the availability from Chest loot from 16.95% to 18.13%
With items being added and removed, we’ve noticed that Shield Potions and Small Shields have been less available in Chests. So we’ve increased the chance to find Shields from Chests to compensate for that.

Shotguns

  • Increased the overall chance to find from Floor loot from 8.50% to 9.77%
  • After seeing the community’s feedback about Shotgun availability, we’ve increased the Shotgun availability from Floor Loot to make finding them in the early phases of the game easier.

Infantry Rifle Epic and Legendary variants

  • Increased the availability from Floor loot from .067% to .105%
  • Increased the availability from Chest loot from .414% to .645%

Heavy Assault Rifle Common variant

  • Decreased the availability from Floor loot from 2.04% to 1.715%
  • Decreased the availability from Chest loot from 12.47% to 10.46%

Mounted Turret

  • Decreased the availability from floor loot from .59% to .46%

Storm Flip

  • Adjusted Storm Flip to cause flat damage instead of being based on which Storm Phase is currently active.Causes 5 damage every second.
  • This change may not be immediately available at the time of release. It requires a server update and will become active at some point later in the day.
  • We noticed with scaling damage that players held onto their Storm Flip later into matches, creating undesirable effects. This change gives players more value in using it earlier in matches.
  • Reduced the availability from Chests from 3.39% to 1.69%
  • Reduced the availability from Floor loot from 3.32% to 1.66%
  • Added back into the Arena and Tournament playlists.We have visual effect changes coming in v9.30 that will help improve readability.

AUDIO

Bug Fixes

  • Audio was sounding muffled due to a filter optimization issue.

MOBILE

We've noticed iOS patches have experienced delays appearing in the App Store recently. Apple has stated that any application can take up to 24 hours to appear in the App Store. If no update is available, be sure to check our social channels for more info.
