The one released today Fortnite Patch 3.6 brings in addition to the Noble thrower for the save the world Mode, also the sticky grenade for both game modes.
Fortnite - New Weapons
The noble thrower (save the world)
With this new weapon, you can do more damage by charging it longer. So you can really shock the monsters and knock them out with one shot.
The sticky grenade (see cover picture)
The new grenade is available for both game modes and appears in supply deliveries and llamas, in treasure chests and as normal floor loot. No opponent will run away from you and even if it does, it won't save him.
Twitch account connection
The previous function for connecting your Twitch Prime and Fortnite accounts in the game client has been removed due to problems with scalability. It is still possible to link your accounts via the Epic homepage without any problems.
You can find the complete patch notes for Fortnite Update V.3.6 below.
