Update v21.30 was a major patch note in Fortnite released during Chapter 3: Season 3 and during the Blasted Badlands venture.


The Fortnite Battle Royale v21.30 update is here, which means this year’s summer celebration is almost here! Stay tuned for info in the coming days — but while you’re getting ready for that, be ready NOW with the new Prime Shotgun:

PRIME SHOTGUN: PRIMED AND READY[]

It’s prime time.

With the new Prime Shotgun, deal the most damage with the first shot of the clip — no warm-up required! Though not as powerful as the first, the remaining three shots offer a consistent damage rate across all three shots. Of course, you can keep track of how many shots remain with the on-screen ammo counter, but you can also keep track with the shotgun’s light display.

Want to deliver only heavy hitters? You can reload after the first shot, but if you need to deliver a fast follow-up, the other three shots have your back. The Prime Shotgun can be found from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, Reality Saplings, fishing, and sharks.

UPCOMING SUMMER CELEBRATION[]

No Sweat Summer - Promo - Fortnite

  • Arena Zero Build now has Overshield Siphon. Eliminating a player will grant a full 50-Health Overshield immediately.

MAJOR BUG FIXES[]

  • Fixed an issue involving Rift-To-Gos generating no Rift but still being consumed, caused by swapping items too soon while activating the Rift-To-Go.
  • Fixed an issue that caused weapon crosshairs to scale with HUD size.
  • Fixed an issue in Team Rumble that prevented players from using Tents.
  • Fixed an issue on Nintendo Switch that caused players to freeze after sliding or mantling.

The v21.30 update brings the new Player Marker device, the Prime Shotgun from Battle Royale, as well as new Galleries such as the Deserted Fortress collection, the Waterfall Gallery and the Cuddle Tree Prop Gallery. There are hundreds of new icons that can be used with devices like the Accolade, Tracker, and Beacon devices. Plus UI improvements, bug fixes, and more!

HUB CHANGES[]

In case you missed it, in v21.20 we introduced a new Hub layout that focuses on giving you a place to showcase the community’s artistic skills. To accomplish this, we have removed matchmaking portals and featured rifts. Instead, up to 8 Golden Rifts will be available to creator groups in the hub (one for each person in your party). There is also one Creator Showcase map selected by the Hub creator. You can also continue playing in private parties by using the Matchmaking Portal Console for the Creator Showcase map.

PLAYER MARKER[]

Player Marker - Promo - Fortnite

With the Player Marker device, you can create a marker that will display information about a player on their nameplate, specifically their Health, Shield, resources, and how far away they are on the island. You can also add an icon and customized text to your marker. Markers are visible on both the main map and the mini-map.

Note: The Player Marker is not visible unless a player has a nameplate attached to their player. If you don't see the additional information when testing your island, make sure you have nameplates turned on. You can do that by going to My Island > Settings and scroll down to the Always Show Nameplates setting. Set it to Always Show to All or Always Show to Team.

BATTLE ROYALE ITEM: PRIME SHOTGUN[]
