Party buses, jetpacks and hoverboards are all bogus, because now you can get through with a shopping cart Fortnite drive. Of course, as some might remember from childhood, you can race across the map with 2 people on a cart.

The shopping cart is initially a feature of the Fortnite Battle Royal Mode. Hopefully the extra space for your partner will help you win there. Furthermore, the patch brings new UI elements that show, for example, the challenge progress in the match.

in the save the world Modus continues with the second part of the blockbuster event “A hero is born”. Together with Ray you go to the rescue of Spitfire and unlock a mythical hero for you. In addition, there are new daily orders, 2 monthly free upgrade llamas at the end of the month. Voice chat mode is also finally supported in the Save the World mode, even across platforms.

Below you will find the detailed German patch notes for Fortnite V.4.3

Fortnite V.4.3

GENERAL

• Turbo construction: After you have placed the first part of the building, the next part now follows faster.
  • 0.15 seconds after holding the button down, the first part will be built (unchanged). Every part that you then build with turbo construction will be placed after 0.05 seconds.
  • This should fix the issue that sometimes a building would not be placed when building quickly.
  • The time difference between the first building (0.15 seconds) and the turbocharged buildings (0.05 seconds) is so that players have more time to change the building type or rotate parts.
• "Edit Mode Target Aid" has been added to the game settings.
  • This has always been enabled for controllers. Now you have the option to switch the feature on or off.
  • With the edit mode aiming aid, your crosshairs will be attracted to the nearest building tile, and it will be slightly limited to that while editing the building section.
• Save the World and Battle Royale now have their own loading screens that appear after selecting the mode.

Bug fixes

• Turbo construction is no longer canceled when you switch through your traps to get to the next part of the building on your quick bar.
• The sound effect for lack of resources is no longer played repeatedly if you want to perform turbo construction without resources.
• Controls in the menu that you operate with a controller now react again after a tooltip has appeared.
• When the backpack is full, newly collected items no longer disappear when dropped again.
• Fixed a bug when aiming diagonally with a controller.
  • Movement of the stick did not correctly affect camera rotation, so the camera never reached its maximum rotation speed when aiming diagonally.
  • The camera's input curves have been changed slightly to match the new diagonal target speeds.
• Fixed motion correction bugs that occurred when activating mid-air sprinting and then landing after jumping.
• Fixed a bug that caused a crash when pulling out.
