Fortnite’s Update V8.20 Is Out, Brings Back Limited Time Sniper Shootout Mode

Fortnite continues to dominate the market as one of the most popular battle royale games out right now, and the latest content update has just dropped.

The biggest addition here has to be the return of the Sniper Shootout mode, which is a limited time mode where players essentially have to take each other out with only sniper rifles. Sniper rifles will be the only weapon drops in this mode, and you’ll have to rely on your aim if you want to come out on top.

In addition to that, the Boom Bow weapon has also been added to Fortnite. Here are the details:

Boom Bow

• Fires Arrows with a Shotgun Shell tip, which explode on impact.
• Uses Shotgun Ammo
• The longer you hold the fire keybind down, the faster the shot will go!
  • Explosive damage is consistent regardless of the power of the shot.
  • The Boom Bow will achieve maximum power after 1.6 seconds of charging.
• A direct hit will cause both the direct hit damage and the explosion damage to the enemy player it impacts.
  • Direct hit
    • Base damage scales from 18 (minimum) to 54 (maximum)
    • Headshot Multiplier: 4x
  • Explosion
    • 54 base damage

Fortnite is now available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
