Do you need some action over Easter? How about grabbing the latest weapon in Fortnite and surprising your opponents? Instead of the eggs in the bushes, however, your opponents will find a nice explosion and they are even the main attraction in this particular spectacle. The death weapon is a remote-controlled missile. So if you're a good pilot, you can make yourself comfortable in a hiding place, aim at your opponent, and then steer the good piece straight to him.
The remote-controlled missile is part of the recently released patch with version number 3.4. This brings not only new content for the Battle Royale mode, but also for the main game "Save the World"
A crossbow and a rifle are also available for the Battle Royale mode. But you have to say goodbye to the Magnum.
For “Save the World” there is a new spring storm called “The Three Hullsketiers”. You can also prove yourself against a boss, of course with an Easter touch. The heroes Miss Bunny Penny and Long-eared Marauder Jonesy wave as rewards. So let's go, grab the eggs and the heroes.
Of course, the team has not forgotten the annoying bugs. These were swept away in both parts of the game. There is no longer any need to fear a surprising throw up when you enter a narrow room in “Save the World”.
You can find the extensive patch notes below:
