Fortnite Release Notes (Update 6.21): Balloons, Arched Weapons, etc.

Strong, the new content continues to rage, the developer Epic Games having released the latest patch of the game. The update 6.21 is now available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Android (an update is likely to occur before iOS arrives on iOS), and its main feature is a new type of item in Battle Royale: the bubbles. Here are the release notes and all that is new.

[ Update: Epic has notified users of issues involving the new update. On Twitter he wrote: "We are investigating some issues with v6.21, including performance and linking issues, and will post an update as soon as we have more information. . " It's unclear when the problems will be solved.]

Balloons may seem mundane, but they seem to be able to introduce a wacky and tactical fun into the game. As you can see in the short video below. underneath, you hang on balloons allows you to float or climb in the air. They are clbadified as Epic rarity, and when you retrieve them you will have a total of 20 that can be deployed. You can hold up to six at a time. you inflate balloons by pressing the main fire button and you release one by striking the secondary fire. Balloons can be found in a variety of places – chests, baskets, llamas, vending machines, or loot – but you should be careful when using them. The release notes warn: "Do not float too high for too long, the balloons only last a long time at the maximum build height."

Another important change concerns the redeployment of the glider, a feature that came into test with the latest patch. Epic will not eliminate that after all and plans to continue to monitor returns and test functionality because of the "positive results" observed.

Update 6.21 stores several weapons. In standard games, you will no longer meet the semi-automatic sniper, guided missile, and double guns. These may come back in the future, but for now, you can only use them in Playground mode.

With regard to the grappling hook, Epic has modified it so that, when it is used by the pbadenger of a vehicle, the speed of the vehicle plays a role in the increase of your grip strength. In addition, leaving a vehicle will no longer move in an arc; the vehicle will continue to move forward directly.

On the Save the World side you will find a new type of cache, a new hero and an badortment of other fixes. As always, this coop mode is only available to those who have purchased access. Epic recently revealed that it would not be available to everyone as a free mode (like Battle Royale) before next year.

The release of Update 6.21 comes just days before the Halloween event at Fortnitemares. Royal battle. On Sunday, November 4th, it is a kind of unique event to crown the festivities. In the meantime, new challenges for Week 6 will be available soon, and you can read the full release notes below.
