Fortnite

The Battle Royale v20.20 Apr 26 hotfix sees the unvaulting of the Light Machine Gun! Use this helpful weapon in the next POI Battle:

The Battle for Rocky Reels

The Resistance has won the Battle for Coney Crossroads! Go to SOFDEEZ with ease once again. With this POI now held by the Resistance, Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets can now be found here.

The fight against the IO continues in the Battle for Rocky Reels. This is no movie: drop into Rocky Reels and help push the IO back! Starring on the IO side is Huntmaster Saber, again in action overhead.

Out of the Vault: Light Machine Gun

The Battle for Rocky Reels doesn’t have to be rocky. To assist you, the Light Machine Gun (LMG) has been unvaulted across the Island! Take advantage of its fast fire rate and 60-round magazine. The longer you hold down its trigger, the more manageable its recoil becomes.

Find LMGs on the ground and in Chests, Rare Chests, Supply Drops, and sharks.

Boogie Bomb vs. Rift-To-Go Vote Begins!

Get your Bars ready — the Boogie Bomb/Rift-To-Go trial period has ended and now it’s time for a vote! Funding Stations pitting the two items together can be found at all major POIs, so head to a Funding Station and contribute Bars to your preferred choice. The first choice to reach 100% Funded based on everyone’s global contributions will win and enter the loot pool immediately!

Competitive Notes

• Rocky Reels is not under assault in competitive playlists, but Huntmaster Saber has still relocated.

• The LMG is not included in competitive playlists but is subject to an evaluation period.

• The winner of the Boogie Bomb vs. Rift-To-Go vote will not immediately be unvaulted in competitive playlists — but is subject to an evaluation period.

• The Repair Torch has been removed from competitive playlists.

v20.20 sees the conclusion of the Battle for Condo Canyon, while a new conflict commences at the Battle for Coney Crossroads. To coincide with this clash, take up a new weapon and select an item to unvault!

The Battle for Coney Crossroads

Condo Canyon can again be called home: the Battle for Condo Canyon is a victory for the Resistance! With the Resistance settling in at this POI, Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets can now be found here.

The fight against the IO goes on, this time at Coney Crossroads. A literal and figurative turning point, jump into the Battle for Coney Crossroads and help push the IO back! (Refusing to give up, Huntmaster Saber is again prowling overhead.)

New Weapon: Ranger Shotgun

Wanna fight for Coney with extra confidence? The Ranger Shotgun has appeared on the Island, built for much longer range than most Shotguns. This burst Shotgun has one shot per reload. Because each shot deals serious damage, you won’t need to panic while reloading.

Find Ranger Shotguns on the ground, from certain vendors, and in Chests, Supply Drops, and sharks.

Bars to Make a Break

The Resistance plans to supply the Boogie Bomb or Rift-To-Go — but needs help deciding which one. Both are tailored for escaping tricky situations. An enemy come out of nowhere? Throw a Boogie Bomb to trap them in a dance. In a losing struggle? Use a Rift-To-Go to create an emergency Rift.



Before one of these escape mechanisms is unvaulted, you’ll have the opportunity to try out both in the wild. Find Boogie Bombs and Rift-To-Gos scattered throughout the Island from Friday, April 22, at 8 AM ET to Monday, April 25, 2022, at 8 AM ET. Not too long after this trial period ends, you can vote for your favorite choice by contributing Bars at Funding Stations. The first item that reaches 100% Funded will swiftly enter the loot pool!
