Regular and Notable Content Updates
Epic Games doesn’t go a week without bringing some sort of interesting new updates to Fortnite Battle Royale, as well as the Save the World PvE game mode. Though it’s certainly the Battle Royale mode that steals the limelight most weeks. Epic’s continued support regardless of whether you prefer your action PvE or PvP has ensured that the fanbase has a reason to stick around.
In the past few content updates, fans have finally seen the arrival of the long-awaited Jetpack as a limited-time item (after it was pulled at the last-minute from being released a few months back), Burst Assault Rifles, healing Apples, and new skins and consumables. And that’s on top of all of the patches that have brought a ton of balance changes in between the content updates.
Fortnite’s Battle Royale and Save the World modes may still be in early access, but if anything, Epic has taken this as a license to see what works and what doesn’t and getting a bit wild with things. Removing weapons from the game and ‘vaulting’ them when they don’t work within the meta, and introducing new alternatives or even more crazy ways to eliminate your opponents altogether. Heck, they even gave the map an entire overhaul earlier in the year adding in a ton more named locations, and we’ve seen similar additions since the end of Season 3, too.
Not everything’s going to stick that comes in these frequent updates, but the contents of the content updates and patches each week just shows there’re some truly passionate people working on Fortnite who want it to be the very best it can be, come the full, official release.
