Fortnite Release Notes (Update 6.10): Tournaments, Quadcrasher – Here's What's New

Epic Games has released the release notes for the Fortnite 6.10 update, currently deployed on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android. The major novelty in Fortnite's Battle Royale mode is the Quadcrasher, a two-seater vehicle with a Boost feature.

This new vehicle is perfect for breaking structures, it will undoubtedly become the key to the safety of these Royal Victories. It increases the boost as you drive it, the boost being usable once you have filled a meter, and meeting players will send it in the air.

The patch also makes many adjustments to how the game behaves and plays. For those who use a PlayStation 4 Pro, Fortnite will now display a resolution of 1440p instead of 1080p when connected to a 4K TV. The update also adds a new "Events" tab, in which players will find tournaments in the game.

In the Department of Weapons and Objects, Port-a-Fortress has been disabled, while Epic has solved the problem. To compensate, Port-a-Fort will decrease more often, which should help those who need to find one of these objects to meet a challenge. The guided missile (recently deactivated), meanwhile, no longer pulls in the wrong direction, which is nice, and players will no longer be permanently tied to a refueling drop when they are struggling.

Disco Domination, the recently launched limited time mode, has changed in a number of ways. You will not find bandages as often and ordinary weapons disappear completely. With respawns enabled – which is quite rare for Fortnite – Epic has made some changes to enhance the variety of places you create.

For those who want to see what's new in Save The World, check out the release notes. The complete changes to Battle Royale are available below, along with a video showing the Quadcrasher.
