The latest 'Fortnite' patch brings big changes to Battle Royale matchmaking and new styles for fan favorite skins
Patch 8.01 adds style updates for six skins, and some new animations.
The Getaway, a fan-favorite Limited Time Mode returned with Patch 8.01.
The Getaway was a special limited time mode (LTM) introduced by "Fortnite" last September. Teams rush to locate one of four jewels on the map and successfully carry it to a getaway van. Problem is, the getaway vans are all floating in midair, and players will have to build a tower to reach them.
Of course enemies will be waiting to ambush the teams carrying the gem up to the top, but that's part of the fun.
There's a new vehicle called The Baller. It's a small rolling capsule with a grappling... plunger that can be used to swing between buildings.
Vending machines have been around in "Fortnite" for about a year, but now they'll give out one free item with no materials required.
Damage from the heavy assault rifle has been nerfed a bit.
The heavy assault rifle will now do less damage overall, regardless of rarity. The base damage scaling for the Common/Uncommon/Rare variations is now 36/38/40, down from 40/44/48.
Fortnite Season 8 is currently underway; be sure to check out the rest of our coverage to catch up on all of the updates.
