We decided to release the update earlier so...
A brand-new map, brand-new UI and fixes are coming this update.
NEW MAP
We've made a brand-new map to make the game feel fresh but get rid of old Fortnite season theme. Explore and fight the new small, vibrant island but do not worry, it will be updated.
ADDED AND REMOVED ITEMS
With this update we've removed some weapons but also items.
Items removed:
The Kneecapper
Shockwave Hammer (Epic variant)
Exotic SlapBerry Fizz
Bug Blaster
Cloak Gauntlets
Nitro Splash
Kinetic Blade
Chains of Hades
Eradicator Shock n' Slow Shockwave Launcher
Shockwave Launcher
Shield Bubble Jr.
and more.
Items added:
Bubble Shield
Impulse Grenade
Twin Hammer Shotguns
and more.
NEW UI
We wanted to make the experience feel more polished so we took out the "OG" UI and replaced with our new "Modern" UI. However this is not the only one in development. Let us know in our community what can be done to polish it even more.
A LITTLE SUPRISE
Sidekicks
We've enabled the sidekicks in the experience but it is only visible to the owner, in other words, enemy won't see your sidekick.
Rank System
We decided to add rank system to the experience. However, it is not polished 100% so please tell us about bugs with the system in our community. In other words, expect the system to be buggy at start.
Water Sprites and Sky Jellies
We have also decided to add Water Sprites and Sky Jellies to the experience, in order to add other methods to heal around the map.
