Fortnite’s latest update is bringing a slightly late Halloween event to the game. Chapter 2 has seen some big changes, but it appears events are still going to be continuing is a similar way as to the past. For the first time in Chapter 2, Fortnite V11.10 has some legitimate patch notes! Epic has been withholding them for Chapter 2 so far. That has lead to some interesting results and a lot of frustration. The bad news is that they don’t appear to be full patch notes.
With actual patch notes now available, players have more of a sense of how Fortnite V11.10 is going to change the way the game is played. This time around the update is largely focusing on events coming to the game. There hasn’t been a major expansion to the pared-down Fortnite Chapter 2 Weapons list, and the new map is still staying familiar for those who are still mastering it. These are all positives. While the constant changes of Season 10 were interesting, they more often than not lead to bad balancing. Fortnite Chapter 2 is taking a more measured approach, and it is helping the game stay stable.
These are all of the major changes in Fortnite V111.10.
Fortnitemares
Fortnitemares is the Halloween event that comes to Fortnite yearly. This time around it is going live a bit late, beginning on October 29th.
- Skins – Zombie versions of the soccer skins are being released to coincide with the event. Some previous Halloween skins have become some of the most popular Fortnite skins out there, so these limited ones are always good to pick up.
- Storm King – This is a new LTM. A giant ‘Storm King’ monster is going to Spawn on the island. You and other players have to take him down, your reward is an exclusive Fortnitemares Umbrella! This is a rare exclusive free cosmetic, so be sure to pick it up.
Bug Fixes in V11.10
Mission Challenges now display their output as 52,000 XP, instead of the incorrect 14,000 XP.
- Reply Mode fixed.
- Fixed the Bandage Bazooka Auto-Pick up problem.
- The false materials coming from built things being pickaxed is no longer present in V11.10.
Other Changes in V11.10
That is all of the new content and fixed bugs in the game that have been showed off by Epic. However, this isn’t necessarily the entire story. Epic might be promoting new items and events in their patch notes, but they still seem to be being a bit coy when it comes to explaining their actual changes. Players have found a few other alterations in V11.10 that epic has neglected to mention, these are:
- Eye Land – This spot has changed, it now gives you an extra XP boost for visiting as a new landmark.
- Shaking Effects – This has been added when dropping, and to health bar when in the storm.
- Minimap Indicator – This has been added in V11.10.
- Shields – these have a different look on the ground.
These changes alter things up a bit in Fortnite Chapter 2. What is particularly interesting is the unannounced alteration to Eye Land. It is possible we may see some slight movement in the game’s map. While it would be silly to expect something on the scale of last Season, Epic might not be able to resist tampering with it.
