The latest content update for Fortnite V.4.4 and brings for example the stink bomb for the battle royale mode.
There is also the time-limited mode: Final battle - 20 teams. There the rules of the normal battle royale change a bit. The eye of the storm does not shrink completely, but stops after the third eye. Then the final countdown starts, at the end of which the team that has the most living players on the battlefield wins. If several teams have the same number of troops, the victory is shared.
The stink bomb
The cloud created by the stink bomb inflicts 5 damage on all players in 0.5 second intervals. After 9 seconds the cloud disappears.
The bomb is found on the floor or in chests, and it can also be found in the range of vending machines.
