Fortnite update: The latest

Fortnite V8.20 update overview

Fortnite V8.20 delivers a new limited time mode featuring rising lava, as well as new foraged items including the health-regenerating banana, coconut, and pepper.

Fortnite V8.20 patch notes

LIMITED TIME MODE: FLOOR IS LAVA

Summary
New limited time mode: Floor is Lava. Lava gradually rises from the lowest parts of the map, and it's hot! Drop in and quickly loot and gather materials so you can be the first to reach the high ground.

Mode Details

A few minutes into the match, the lava will begin to rise.
The lava moves at a steady speed until the entire map is covered.
Touching the lava will apply damage directly to your health and bounce you up in the air.
You can build on the lava.
Players will be given a small number of materials every second, to help out in those "entire map is on fire" situations.

WEAPONS + ITEMS

The Baller no longer applies damage to players on collision.
- The knockback/bounce effect will remain unchanged.
Future Baller Iterations
- We've noticed a lot of discussion around the Baller, so here's an update!
- We're not satisfied with the current use of Ballers, specifically in the late game. With the v8.30 update, we will release a change that will allow players to shoot through the glass of The Baller.
  - Non-glass parts will still have collision and block damage from bullets.
Siphon/Material Changes
- In v7.40 we implemented a few Pop-up Cup settings as a test in core modes. After monitoring a combination of gameplay, data, and feedback, we've gathered necessary info to conclude this initial test. We feel it has resulted in an unhealthy level of aggressive play, diminishing other viable strategies. The following changes have been reverted in all core modes:
  - 50 Health (or Shield) based on your health when the Elimination occurs.
  - 50/50/50 materials dropped on Elimination.
  - 500/500/500 Cap on materials.
  - Harvest rate increased by 40%
  - That said, these mechanics have proven to be positive in our competitive playlists. All changes above remain enabled in the new Arena Game Mode.
Infantry Rifle
- Converted to hitscan, meaning this weapon no longer fires projectiles (snipers) and now fires the same as other Assault Rifles.
- Base damage reduced from 45/42 to 42/40.
- Uses the same damage fall off profile as existing assault rifles.
Poison Dart Trap
- Available in Uncommon Rarity.
- Can be placed on walls, floors, and ceilings.
- Found from Floor Loot.
- Can be triggered up to three grid cells away.
- Fires Poison Dart projectiles a distance of three horizontal grid cells (four vertical grid cells).
- Targets hit by darts will receive a damage-over-time effect that applies damage directly to health, bypassing any shields.
  - 10 health damage per tick.
  - 8 total ticks over 7 seconds for a total damage of 80.
  - Subsequent hits will refresh the duration of the effect, but the amount of damage per tick does not change.
New Foraged Items
- Bananas
  - Instantly grant 5 health when consumed.
  - Can be found in the tropical biome.
- Coconuts
  - Foraged by damaging palm trees.
  - When consumed, Coconuts grant 5 points of effective health over a short time. That means it will replenish shields if the player is at max health.
  - Can be found in tropical and desert biomes.
- Peppers
  - When consumed, peppers instantly grant 5 health and also increase the player's movement speed by 20% for 10 seconds.
  - Can be found in the desert biome.
The Buried Treasure directional indicator is now attached to the player and emanates from the area of the treasure map in order to improve visibility, especially while moving.
- The indicator will continue to pulse every 3 seconds while the item is equipped.
Pirate Cannon adjustments
- Adjusted the collision of the Pirate Cannon to ensure the driver's seat is always enterable without needing to nudge the cannon.
- Moved the seat prompt locations for easier entry into the cannon.
- Increased the radius of cannonballs and player land explosions from 200 units to 250 units.
- Reduced cannon impulse/knockback when firing a cannonball while driving or when launching a player. This is unchanged when coasting.
Adjusted the equip time of the Epic / Legendary Pump Shotgun to match the Uncommon / Rare versions.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where Clingers were damaging players through walls when stuck to another player.
Fixed an issue preventing Glider item pickups from displaying their stack count.
Smoothed out the motion of grenade projectile trajectories, which were lagging behind by a tick.
Balloon Fixes

- The balloon rope will no longer remain on your back when you run out of balloons.
Pirate Cannon Fixes

Fortnite Battle Royale version 7.01 update overview

With Season 7 in full swing, version 7.01 might not seem that exciting by comparison. That said, the new version of Fortnite includes the Infinity Blade weapon from Epic Games' Infinity Blade series, the new Close Encounters limited-time mode, and more.

After the new version rolled out to players, however, they complained that the Infinity Blade was overpowered. It also didn't help that there were no good counters against it.

As a result, the Infinity Blade is now a Vaulted weapon. It's no longer available in Fortnite, though it could come back as a retooled weapon.
