Update v10.10

Update v10.10 of Fortnite was released on August 14th, 2019. Due to the size of this update, bug fixes are on a separate page here.

Limited Time Modes
World Run LTM

Team Type: Squads | Respawning: On
 * 16 Players.
 * 4 Teams.
 * The team to collect 30 coins fastest wins.
 * In the event that two teams collect the same amount of coins, the team that was faster will win

Weapons + Items

 * Unvaulted only in the Sword Fight Squads and Duos LTMs:
 * Infinity Blade
 * Reduced the environmental damage from 10000 to 600.
 * B.R.U.T.E. updates:
 * Added a targeting laser that appears as players load and fire missiles.
 * In addition to the B.R.U.T.E.’s gunner, this laser is visible to opponents and teammates.
 * This is to help give clarity to all players on where a gunner is aiming their rockets before they’re fired.
 * The time before the B.R.U.T.E. explodes after the self-destruct countdown has initiated has been increased from 4 seconds to 5.
 * Improved visual and audio feedback during the self-destruct sequence.
 * These timing, audio, and visual adjustments aim to address an issue with overall readability of the self-destruct sequence.
 * B.R.U.T.E.s can now be entered directly from glider mode.
 * Updated B.R.U.T.E. spawn logic for large team respawn game modes.
 * B.R.U.T.Es will now spawn intermittently throughout the match instead of waiting for Storm phases to end.
 * B.R.U.T.E.s abandoned in the Storm will self-destruct after 30 seconds.
 * B.R.U.T.E.s will reappear on the minimap after 15 seconds if no player is in either seat.
 * On Saturday, August 10, we lowered the spawn rates of the B.R.U.T.E. per Storm circle in Arena and Tournament playlists. We will continue to monitor the impact of this change in advance of next weekend’s Champion Series event.
 * Beginning of Match
 * 21.5% chance that between 1-3 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
 * Previously was 100% chance that between 2-4 B.R.U.T.Es would spawn
 * Storm 1
 * 44% chance that between 1-4 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
 * Previously was 100% chance that between 2-4 B.R.U.T.Es would spawn

Vaulted

 * Ice Cream
 * Increased the number of resource stacks contained in Chests in Tilted Town from 1 to 3.

Gameplay

 * Retail Row
 * A Rift Zone has replaced the Mega Mall POI with Retail Row.
 * Retail Row now spawns hordes of Fiends who charge at players.
 * Fiends may drop a weapon, consumable, or ammo upon being eliminated.
 * Fiends cannot go outside the Retail Row Rift Zone.
 * Note: Fiends will not appear in certain modes.
 * Chests and ammo containers will now open when destroyed.
 * Known issue: Destroying a Chest or ammo container by destroying the object it is placed on will not open it.
 * We plan to have this issue resolved in the v10.20 update.

Events

 * Pushed a fix on August 5 to address an Arena matchmaking issue causing players to be matched within a wider Hype range than intended.
 * Because players are now matched within a narrower Hype range, some players may experience longer queue times. This is to ensure higher-quality matches.

Performance

 * Further improved performance to reduce the chance of players landing on POIs with a low level of detail.

Art + Animation

 * Plastic Patroller Outfit Visual Update
 * Added mud smears, wear and tear, and a brighter outline.
 * These changes were added to prevent this Outfit from providing a camouflage effect in certain areas of the map, which was making it very difficult to see.
 * All players who previously purchased this Outfit will have the option to refund it without using a Refund Token if they choose to do so.
 * Note: This refund option will be available for 30 days, with the timer starting after your next login.
 * Updated the Mecha Team Leader Outfit’s idle animation to its original version.

Audio

 * Enabled reverb on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

UI

 * Added a Deleted Islands tab
 * When islands are deleted they will appear in this area and can be recovered for a limited time.
 * Once you have 50 islands and 5 deleted islands, the oldest deleted islands will be permanently lost each time you create a new island.
 * Islands are still named in the Description tab of the My Island menu
 * Re-publishing an existing island will now update the original island code instead of creating a new one.
 * The owner of a published code can lock their island code so players can only access the specified version of the published island by default by going to the code link on the Epic Games site and selecting the active version.
