Fortnite Update 21.20 Early Patch Notes

Epic Games has been making various updates on Fortnite Creative and Battle Royale V 21.20 as we are in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3. The latest Fortnite Update 21.20 can help the players to unlock the new weapons, skins, and map changes. The update of 21.20 includes the Charge SMG, RipSaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun, Port-A-Port, Indiana Jones Skin, and a new POI called Shuffled Shrines on the south of Sanctuary. The Charge SMG is available in all rarities such as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. To get the Indiana Jones Skin, you need to complete a set of themed Indiana Jones quests like before to get the secret skins. According to early patch notes of Fortnite Update 21.20, they will be a big change to the map in the following update. Apart from this, they are more weekly challenges and Vibin’ Quests that might go live as you are not getting enough XP to unlock the elusive Darth Vader skin; then, you need to add the game into this update.

Fortnite 21.20 Updates

CHARGE SMG

The Charge SMG is a burst style SMG that fires when the trigger is released. The longer the trigger is held, the longer the burst. The Charge SMG is available in all rarities (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic).

RIPSAW LAUNCHER AND FIREWORK FLARE GUN

In case you missed it, the Ripsaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun were both recently added into Creative! Rip through clutter and make a scene with the dazzling Firework Flare Gun and Ripsaw Launcher.

BALLER SPAWNER DEVICE UPDATE

The Baller now has a default health of 400, so it can take more hits before being destroyed. There’s a new option, Grappler Range, that you can use to increase or decrease the distance someone can grapple to while in the Baller. If you don’t want players to worry about fuel/energy use in your island, the Has Infinite Energy option can be set to On!

HUB CHANGES

We are introducing a new Hub layout that focuses on giving you a place to showcase your artistic skills. To accomplish this, we have removed matchmaking portals and featured rifts. Instead, there are now 8 player rifts so you can continue creating and playing in private parties. There is also one Creator Showcase map selected by the Hub creator.
