Fortnite 5.10 Content Update Brings Back Guided Missiles, Jetpacks

Another Tuesday, another big ol’ update for Epic’s battle royale. The Fortnite 5.10 content update has dropped, and it’s brought back Guided Missiles, as well as Jetpacks for a limited-time only, among other changes.

You can see the full patch notes down below, but the eye-catching headline is undoubtedly the return of the Guided Missile after being “valuted” (i.e. removed from the game). That, when coupled with a brand-new LTM, Fly Explosives, means we’re getting plenty more bang for our V-Bucks this week.

Guided Missile (Battle Royale)
The Guided Missile returns from the Vault! Scan the battlefield from above, weave through obstacles, and rocket ride teammates into the action.

Fly Explosives (Battle Royale)
BOOM! The new Fly Explosives Limited Time Mode is here and it’s a blast for the whole squad. Use Jetpacks to fly above your foes and rain down in this explosives only game mode.

Spyglass Sniper Rifle (Save the World)
Husks don’t stand a chance against this newest addition to the Flintlock Weapon set. This powerful single shot sniper packs a punch, so hold on tight as you take aim and fire.

BATTLE ROYALE
LIMITED TIME MODE: FLY EXPLOSIVES
Summary
This mode combines the explosive fun of the High Explosives LTM and the vaulted Limited Time Item Jetpack. Take to the skies and blast everyone else back to the lobby!

• Mode Details
• Only Explosive Weapons can be found in this mode.
• Floor Loot spawners will occasionally spawn Jetpacks.
• Fly Explosives Jetpacks have increased fuel regen rate & decreased burn rate compared to Default Jetpacks, to keep pilots in the sky a bit longer.
• Between-storm wait times have been reduced due to players needing less time to find adequate loot (avg. match length should be lower than 20m).
• Rocket Ammunition capped at 120.
• Profile Stats (K/D & Wins) are tracked in this mode.

LIMITED TIME MODE: PLAYGROUND
What’s New?
