Up high

After the resistance was able to prevail against the IO in Rocky Reels, you will find donation stations here again. As usual, you can find an armoured battle bus or various gun turrets at these. The battle against the IO now shifts to Tilted Towers, where Fighter Master Saber will give you a good run for your money from his IO airship.

To gain air supremacy, Epic Games brings back the Choppas from the vault. You can now find them in all outposts of the Seven. You can donate your bars in the donation stations placed there. Once a Choppa is 100% funded, it is yours. This means that nothing stands in the way of a fight against Saber or a relaxing flight around the island.

Star Wars Day

Wednesday (May 4) is Star Wars Day in Fortnite. From now until 17 May, you will once again have the opportunity to strut into battle with lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles. By completing the new Star Wars missions, you can also secure the Empire Banner in addition to a "Landspeeder" (vehicle) and the "Jedi Contraband" (lightsaber).

On the occasion of Star Wars Day, these matching outfits will also return to the item shop:

  • Imperial Stormtrooper

  • Kylo Ren

  • Zorii Bliss

  • Finn

  • Rey

  • Sith Trooper

  • Boba Fett

  • Fennec Shand

  • Krrsantan

Shotguns adjusted

With patch V.20.30, Epic has taken aim at the Battle Royale's shotguns and made some changes. So most shots now have increased damage and a "max damage cap" has been set for all shotguns. These adjustments now apply 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.
