This week’s Fortnite update spreads love around for both the freebie battle royale mode and the paid PvE mode and now supports Xbox One X’s 4k resolution. Battle royale gamers will see two new leaderboards as well as tweaks to loot, fall damage, and bush placement. For real. Save the World players should keep an eye out for the return of mutant storms and brand-new themed weapons.
Perhaps the most interesting bit actually arrives today as a button that doesn’t do anything. But it will! “Tomorrow you may notice a new ‘Custom Matchmaking’ button appear in-game if you’re playing on PC,” Epic says. “We are testing a form of private matches during the Dreamhack event we’re attending this weekend (December 1 – 3). We’re using private matches at this event to see how we can provide both fun and competitive, ‘special’ events for you in the future.” The button won’t work if you’re not in on the event, but expect more details next year.
The new patch is live, confuse and confound the enemy with the #FNBR Smoke Grenade! https://t.co/GBi6iG2zCj
