Fortnite regularly updates the game to provide the player with more content and also for maintenance. Fortnite patch 20.30 has now released and it will bring a bunch of new stuff for the players to try out. First thing to note is that Fortnite will be celebrating Star Wars day along with the world and include Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles in the game to commemorate the occasion.
Along with that a new POI has been taken over by the Imagined Order and the players will have to work together to get it back. The latest one is the Battle for Tilted Towers, along with that the Choppa has been unvaulted to rain fire from the skies and shotguns has been rebalanced. There also some competitive fixes and bug fixes included in the update. Check out the full Fortnite 20.30 patch notes below:
Fortnite v20.30 Patch Notes
The Battle for Tilted Towers
- The Battle for Rocky Reels ended with a standing ovation and a victory for the Resistance! Find Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets at this reclaimed POI.
- But the most climactic POI Battle hasn’t started until now: the heart of the Island is at stake in the Battle for Tilted Towers. Join the Resistance in pushing back the IO! Higher than even the buildings is an IO Blimp carrying Huntmaster Saber, who refuses to stand down.
Fullfil Your Destiny: May The 4th Festivities
- Star WarsTM Day is going on in Fortnite, but not just on May the 4th! From May 3 to May 17, 2022, take up Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles in battle. Also, complete new Star Wars Quests to unlock an Empire Banner.
Go Sky High in a Choppa
- The IO aren’t the only ones who can take to the skies. Funding Stations for Choppas have been set up across all Seven Outposts — chip in Bars to bring this vehicle out of the vault! Once a Choppa is 100% Funded, fly across the map and attack from above.
Shotguns Rebalanced
- In v20.30, all Shotguns have undergone a damage balance update. These changes will increase the damage for most shots (including headshots). All Shotguns have also been given a “max damage cap,” affecting how much maximum damage a single shot can deal. Specific changes to Shotguns available in Fortnite Battle Royale/Zero Build:
- Minimum pellet-hit count increased from 3 to 4 for the Striker Pump Shotgun, Auto Shotgun, and Drum Shotgun.
- Striker Pump Shotgun and Auto Shotgun pellet damage and headshot damage increased.
- Ranger Shotgun and Drum Shotgun headshot damage greatly increased, but no change to base pellet damage.
- Drum Shotgun damage falloff adjusted, shortening effective range.
Browse Menu Added
- The Browse menu has been added next to Discover! This menu is broken up into categories (such as Action, Casual, and Combat), making it easier to find new games in the genres you love.
Competitive Notes
- Forces at Tilted Towers are not in active conflict in competitive playlists, but the resulting destruction has occurred and Huntmaster Saber has still relocated.
- Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles are not included in competitive playlists.
- Choppas will not be brought into competitive playlists.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue involving most Seven Outpost Vaults being unopenable.
