ARMORED BATTLE BUS
What do you get when you cross a Prop Mover device, Tilted Towers and an Armored Battle Bus? I guess we will find out! The Armored Battle Bus and the Cow Catcher devices will be available with 20.30 for ultimate ramming power.
ISLAND TEMPLATE UPDATES
In v20.20 we released the Video Player device (previously known as Llamatron) for you to use to broadcast a set of preloaded music videos. We now have a template, “Music Experience Island” to help you build a great experience using the device.
The old Zone Wars Template Island has been updated to align with the new standard and new devices that have been released since the template was originally created. The update also includes billboards describing the new devices and how the island was built!
PLAYER REFERENCE DEVICE UPDATE
We have updated the Player Reference Device with more customizable options, and the ability to simplify mechanics without having to use several devices to achieve your desired results!
HUB CHANGES
We are introducing a new Hub layout more focused on providing you a place to showcase your artistic skills. To accomplish this, we’re removing matchmaking portals and featured rifts. There will be four empty rifts so you can continue testing and playing in private parties, and one Creator Showcase map selected by the hub creator. Starting in July, hubs will be live for two weeks instead of one.
SHOTGUNS REBALANCED
In v20.30 all Shotguns have undergone a damage balance update across Fortnite.
These changes will increase the damage for most shots and headshots. All Shotguns have also been given a “max damage cap”, affecting the maximum damage a single shot can deal. Please note with this cap update, alongside other adjustments, all Shotguns except the Legendary Dragon’s Breath Shotgun will no longer deal over 200 damage in one shot.
Specifically, in Fortnite Creative:
- Minimum pellet-hit count increased from 3 to 4 for the Striker Pump Shotgun, Auto Shotgun, and Drum Shotgun.
- Striker Pump Shotgun and Auto Shotgun pellet damage and headshot damage increased.
- Ranger Shotgun and Drum Shotgun headshot damage greatly increased, but no change to base pellet damage.
- Drum Shotgun damage falloff adjusted, shortening effective range.
- Charge Shotgun pellet damage decreased while the headshot damage increased.
- Heavy Shotgun pellet damage increased.
- Headshot damage increased for the following: Lever Action Shotgun, Makeshift Shotgun
- Pellet damage and headshot damage increased for the following: Pump Shotgun, Primal Shotgun, Tactical Shotgun, Dragon’s Breath Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, Double Barrel Shotgun
