Fortnite Update adds the LTM of Horde Rush and its new canon; Here are the release notes

Epic has launched another update for Fortnite. The 9.21 update is now available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch and mobile devices. It introduces a new weapon in the popular Battle Royale game, as well as a new pair of limited time modes. This is what the new weapon does with the full patch notes.

The addition this week to the arsenal is the Proximity Launcher, which launches an "explosive projectile" that will explode and detonate near another player. The gun comes in the Epic and Legendary varieties and can be found in chests, supply drops, vending machines, or in looters. He also uses rocket ammunition and can hold two rounds.

In addition to the Proximity Grenade grenade launcher, Epic has made some balance changes to an assortment of existing weapons and items in the game. Storm Flip, which was added in last week's update, now deals flat damage instead of being based on the current storm phase. Epic decreased the availability of mounted turret and current variants of the heavy assault rifle.

Beyond that, the developer adds two new time-limited modes to the rotation this week. The first is the low-gravity One Shot Duos mode. Here, all players have only 50 points of life. The only weapons available are snipers and the only healing items available are bandages. The second mode, Horde Rush, removes squads of four players on the island and defends them in defensive areas against waves of Fiend Fortnite.

Like other special LTMs, Horde Rush comes with its own assortment of challenges to face. These will be available for the duration of the event and will reward you with XP once completed. If you can complete the seven tasks before the mode leaves the rotation, you will also get a special wrap for your problems. You can see the full list of Horde Rush challenges in the screenshot above.

This week's update also added new items to Fortnite Creative and Save the World. You can see all the changes made to Fortnite: Battle Royale below, while full release notes are available on the Epic website.
