The more often updates appear, the more fun it is to play! What has changed in Fortnite with the release of the v17.30 update?
Battle royale
The Battle Royale continues in changed circumstances.
Destruction of the Slurpy Swamp
Aliens have stolen the Slurpy Swamp! The alien flagship with a huge stream of energy captures a piece of the island and raises it up. While the purpose of the aliens is not clear, but, most likely, they just want to destroy the location. In the area of the beam, gravity is reduced, and players can use this fact when choosing a route of movement.
Grab-itron
Fortnite fans have already heard about the new weapon - the grab-itron. He uses the same space technologies with which the aliens are destroying the Slurpy Swamp. For aliens, this is just a standard portable device, and our players have dubbed the gravitator a hand cymbal.
To attack, pull any available object with the disk, move it, and then throw it at enemies. In this way, you can inflict simply colossal damage.
The amount of destruction depends on:
- Flight time;
- Flight speeds;
- The size of the captured object;
- The material of which the item is made.
How do you defend yourself with a grab-itron? Any captured object serves as a kind of shield, it takes all the damage directed at the character. Also, with the help of a hand saucer, you can grab grenades and throw them in the opposite direction. Gravel grips can be grinded in the flagship's quarters, on the rooftops of UFO abductors, and in regular chests. Remember that the grapple is not active in competitive modes.
Save The World
The battle with the storm continues! Update 17.30 changed the situation at the main base ... Less than a month left until the end of the season (04.09.21). The inconspicuous Shuriken again seeks to get into the control room of the radio station, because the main song of the summer must be played on the air!
The developers have changed the parameters of some skills. First of all, the damage done by grenades has increased, now the Husks will be more sensitive to this weapon. Skills Plugged Check, Stay Away and Cluster Bomb have also been upgraded.
