Fortnite’s Fly Explosives mode is live for you jetpack and pew pew junkies

Fortnite’s 5.10 update is live today with yet more uber weapons and the return of the jetpack in the new limited time mode dubbed Fly Explosives. “BOOM! The new Fly Explosives Limited Time Mode is here and it’s a blast for the whole squad. Use Jetpacks to fly above your foes and rain down in this explosives only game mode,” says Epic.

The downside, of course, is that some of the de facto building nerfs of the last big patch, which have players grumping over the loss of the game’s uniqueness, are still in play. Epic did reduce the potency of one of the weapons causing grief, however – that’d be the P90 that made defensive structures crumble to dust and made players wonder why they bothered building them in the first place.

And if you’re keeping an eye out for the Android version? Well, it’s possible it’ll be a Samsung exclusive on the Galaxy Note 9 for a month. My Pixel 2 XL-toting self is not impressed by this turn of events. It’s also being rumored right now that the game might not actually land on Google’s Play Store itself and may in fact be an APK you download from Epic and sideload on your device, which seems kinda low-rent for one of the biggest games of the year.

The v5.10 Content Update is available now and no downtime is required! 🎉
