Fortnite’s 4.4 content update is out today. It’ll add a variety of things, including the new Stink Bomb item as well as the time-limited Final Fight mode.
Below are the full list of changes:
Stink Bomb
This new addition is nothing to sniff at, one whiff and they’ll be sprinting for fresh air.
8-Bit Demo
Build it up or tear it down with the new 8-Bit Demo. Grab it in the Event Store and make a bang.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed several issues with Discord integration and improved the information displayed when in a Battle Royale or Save the World game.
Battle Royale
Limited Time Mode: Final Fight: Teams of 20
Summary
Survive the countdown! The Storm Circles give players more room to hunt down opponents. The final circle triggers a countdown timer; when the time is up, the team with the most players remaining wins. In this LTM, teams can tie for the Victory Royale!
Mode Details
- Final Fight plays similar to standard Battle Royale, but instead of the Storm circles closing all the way, the Storm stops after the 3rd circle.
- When the circles have finished closing in, the final countdown timer will begin.
- The remaining teams will battle it out until the timer expires.
- The team with the most players remaining at the end of the timer wins!
- In the event of a tie, the two (or more) teams tied for the lead win the match.
