Fortnite 20.20 Patch Notes – April 19, 2022
Battle Royale Fixes
NEW WEAPON: RANGER SHOTGUN
Wanna fight for Coney with extra confidence? TheRanger Shotgunhas appeared on the Island, built for much longer range than most Shotguns. This burst Shotgun has one shot per reload. Because each shot deals serious damage, you won’t need to panic while reloading.
Find Ranger Shotguns on the ground, from certain vendors, and in Chests, Supply Drops, and sharks.
BARS TO MAKE A BREAK
The Resistance plans to supply theBoogie BomborRift-To-Go— but needs help deciding which one. Both are tailored for escaping tricky situations. An enemy come out of nowhere? Throw a Boogie Bomb to trap them in a dance. In a losing struggle? Use a Rift-To-Go to create an emergency Rift.
Before one of these escape mechanisms is unvaulted, you’ll have the opportunity to try out both in the wild. Find Boogie Bombs and Rift-To-Gos scattered throughout the Island from Friday, April 22, at 8 AM ET to Monday, April 25, 2022, at 8 AM ET. Not too long after this trial period ends, you can vote for your favorite choice by contributing Bars at Funding Stations. The first item that reaches100% Fundedwill swiftly enter the loot pool!
