Update v20.20 was released on April 19th, 2022 during Chapter 3: Season 2 of Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Introduction[]
v20.20 sees the conclusion of the Battle for Condo Canyon, while a new conflict commences at the Battle for Coney Crossroads. To coincide with this clash, take up a new weapon and select an item to unvault!
The Battle For Coney Crossroads[]
Condo Canyon can again be called home: the Battle for Condo Canyon is a victory for the Resistance! With the Resistance settling in at this POI, Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets can now be found here.
The fight against the IO goes on, this time at Coney Crossroads. A literal and figurative turning point, jump into the Battle for Coney Crossroads and help push the IO back! (Refusing to give up, Huntmaster Saber is again prowling overhead.)
New Weapon: Ranger Shotgun[]
Wanna fight for Coney with extra confidence? The Ranger Shotgun has 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 the Boogie Bomb or Rift-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 reaches 100% Funded will swiftly enter the loot pool!
Covert Ops Quests[]
Help The Origin complete a covert operation in Zero Build. You must finish both stages of each Quest before time runs out to receive the next Quest! Your first task begins April 22 at 9 AM ET.
The Origin’s agenda:
Quest 1: Begins April 22 at 9 AM ET and ends April 26 at 8:59 AM ET
Finished Quest 1 before April 26 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 2!
Quest 2: Begins April 26 at 9 AM ET and ends April 28 at 8:59 AM ET
Finished Quest 2 before April 28 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 3!
Quest 3: Begins April 28 at 9 AM ET and ends April 30 at 8:59 AM ET
Finished Quest 3 before April 30 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 4!
Quest 4: Begins April 30 at 9 AM ET and ends May 2 at 8:59 AM ET
Finished Quest 4 before May 2 at 8:59 AM ET? The operation is complete! And your reward? The Secret Sledge Pickaxe.

Introduction[]
The v20.20 Fortnite Creative update adds the new Video Player, Water, and VFX Devices! Along with new devices, we’ve also added some additional Prefabs and Galleries and a brand new island to create on, the Greasy Grove Battle Royale Point of Interest!
Prop Mover[]
The v20.10 update had a bit of a surprise in it, the Prop Mover! This device was released earlier than planned and in its current state should be considered a Beta device that we’re releasing to everyone. If you’re using the Prop Mover, understand that you might be asked to remove it from your map. For example: you’re featured in the Hub but the Prop Mover is causing performance issues. Additionally, some features that the Prop Mover currently has may change over time. We'll be taking your feedback into account, so let us know what you think!
or more information read the Fortnite Creative Documentation on the Prop Mover Device.
NEW: Video Player[]
All creators will now have access to the Video Player device, previously known as the Llamatron, which they can use to broadcast a set of preloaded music videos created by the talented xDogged. Creators can use just one or string them together for a totally unique music-led island experience.
NEW: Water Device[]
Creators can modulate the water level within a volume and allow for players to swim, use marine vehicle travel, as well as placement of fishing areas. This device could also be used to make oceans, beaches, swimming pools, sewers, lakes, and even floods.
For more information read the Fortnite Creative Documentation on the Water Device
NEW: VFX Creator[]
The new VFX Creator device provides Creators with a set of tools to make tweakable FX. Creators can select a sprite and apply a variety of parameters to it to create divergent effects.

OTHER FEATURE UPDATES[]
NEW: CAREER TRACKER
The new Career Tracker provides creators the ability to track more stats for players by adding these options to the Save Point Device. To enable the new Career Tracker, Creators will need to update to the Save Point Device and the scoreboard HUD. A quick way of updating the scoreboard HUD is by cloning the scoreboard and changing it to Career. Once updated, players will be able to view career scores in the new Career Tab.
UPDATE: SWITCH DEVICE We’ve added the following new device skins for the Switch Device
- Checkbox
- Ancient Lever
- Circuit Breaker
