The original story continues …
Fortnite patch 13.30 is out now, featuring a number of changes to the battle royale. Players have already started sharing patch notes and creating their own documentation of the various changes to the mid-season map.
An infographic made by a fan of Reddit user Chazyourboiii reviews the changes to the map, including an update to the gas stations in Salty Springs and Pleasant Park. There are also Coral companions who will build you a pyramid in exchange for 300 stones.
The patch notes compiled by fans detail a number of changes, mostly in the form of bug fixes. However, it does show a handful of changes in Battle Royale mode, like new group challenges and re-enabling Whirlpools. The Whirlpools point is also compatible with Epic’s known issues, the Trello board. It also suggests that some limited-time modes like Payback, Catch, and One Shot are on the way.
Meanwhile, Epic has sent a notice through its Fortnite status page that it is investigating a bug related to Build-a-Brella.
We are investigating an accident affecting some players when accessing the canopy color selection for Build-a-Brella.
We will provide a status update once this issue is resolved.– Fortnite status (@FortniteStatus) July 21, 2020
