It’s a new week, and that means there’s a new update for everyone to enjoy, as the Fortnite v12.30 patch will be released on all platforms on Tuesday June 30, featuring a new weapon and a major change to an existing item. .
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 has been live for a few weeks now, and while the season’s first major update made radical changes to the game, Epic hasn’t sat in their hands, dropping update 13.10 to add Firefly Jars, and a second patch on June 30.
The flare gun and portable upgrade banks are the main inclusions in this week’s patch, and we have everything you need to know about the new items.
Flare gun
The epic love of including new weapons for us to try, and the v13.20 update is no exception, with the Flare Gun finally making its long-awaited debut in the game.
The weapon, which contains six cartridges and deals 60 damage in a direct hit, was first seen in the game’s archives in Chapter 1, but for one reason or another it never made it into the full game. Finally, though, it arrived, and with its ability to start fires, it’s the perfect way to burn down enemy structures and send them back to the pre-game lobby.
Portable upgrade bench
The other major change is the upgrade bank, which can now be broken and transported for use when you need it.
Just hit it with your harvesting tool and it will transform into floor loot, which you can pick up and place in your inventory.

Of course, no Fortnite update is complete without some bug fixes, and we have a full list of bugs addressed by Epic thanks to its official Trello dashboard.
