No clear patch news

What new content players can look forward to for Battle Royale and Save the World with Fortnite Content Update 8.20 remains to be seen. The patch notes have not been communicated by Epic Games so far. In general, the developers publish the changelog on time for the update release.

According to the latest information, players can look forward to a new “explosive bow”, which comes along in legendary and epic execution. The bow uses shotgun ammunition. The longer you hold down the Shoot button, the stronger the shot. This increases both the projectile speed and the direct impact damage. The bow reaches its maximum strength after a charge of 1.6 seconds.

More Loot!

A direct hit with the Bow causes base damage of 15. The head-shot multiplier is 2 while the explosion damage is 100. Meanwhile, minor adjustments are made to the new paprika item in Fortnite. So the effect duration was extended from ten to 20 seconds; The movement bonus increased from 20 to 40 percent. Players of Battle Royale also receive a new time-limited mode: sniper battle. Here you only compete with sniper rifles against other players.

The points where Loot appears on the ground have been increased by 50 percent. On the other hand, the revival of fallen members in duos and teams has been disabled. In addition, there are several bug fixes for the competitive Arena mode in the update.

The increase in loot time could satisfy the angered community of Fortnite. Since Ninja and some of his streaming crew dropped Fortnite from there streams to play UNO. Let’s see how Ninja and friends will react to the patch. In our opinion, the increase in loot drop doesn’t fill the void of the aggressive playing style that was loved by everyone.
