PLAYGROUND

We’ve introduced a new consumable to the Playground LTM that will allow you to spawn an entire Spiky Stadium. We were inspired by the amazing things you’ve been making within Playground, and cannot wait to see what you create as we continue to build out the future of creative mode in Fortnite.

Limited Time Item: Spiky Stadium

Present in Playground only, found in red Supply Drops (along with a ton of impulse grenades).

Builds a 7×11 sized stadium full of Damage Traps and Bouncers.

WEAPONS + ITEMS

Port-a-Fortress

It’s huge!

Builds instantly.

Includes built-in Bouncers for an easy exit.

Legendary Rarity.

Found in Vending Machines, chests, Supply Drops, and Supply Llamas.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where there was a slight delay when consuming multiple Small Shield Potions.

The Grappler will no longer result in an inability to change equipment.

GAMEPLAY

Reduced the edit button hold timing when using a controller.

Old School from 0.25s to 0.2s.

Quick Builder from 0.25s to 0.2s.

Combat Pro from 0.25s to 0.2s.

Builder Pro from 0.25s to 0.15s.

The Storm wall no longer destroys structures during the last few circles of the match.

AUDIO

Bug Fixes

Reload audio for the Double Barrel Shotgun no longer plays twice.

UI

Unsupported characters within in-game names will now show up as �, rather than the fallback debugging font glyph that was previously used. Loading the fallback font was causing long hitches for clients, so we’ve disabled it.

Hidden Matchmaking Delay feature has been added to the Options in the Game tab.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue causing the reticle to not appear until after you’ve switched weapons.

Added new generic icons to represent console and desktop platforms for cross-platform play.

ART + ANIMATION

Added edge glow to wall bounce pads, only visible from the reverse side. This is to help players recognize when a wall bounce pad is on the opposite side of a ledge in front of them.

Bug Fixes

CUBE visual effects will no longer get stuck after a player has left the area.

The Grill Sergeant Outfit will now render properly in-game.

This fixes the issue where players were seeing a floating head and pickaxe.
