Fortnite Update 6.21 Floats in With a Balloon Item and an End to Fortnitemares

Fortnite Update

Last week, Fortnitemares added Cube fiends and fragments to Battle Royale. Now Fortnitemares is coming to an end on Sunday, November 4 at 1 pm EST, thanks to the arrival of Fortnite update 6.21. If you’re in-match at that time, you’ll get to experience “an event,” although the details about what that will entail are unknown.

Thanks to this update, you can achieve new heights with balloons, Fortnite‘s latest item. Clown around and add some air to your shopping cart leaps or simply levitate towards your opponents. But be careful, as balloons will pop naturally or under enemy fire.  These items have an Epic level of rarity and can be found in floor loot, chests, supply drops, supply llamas, and vending machines. It comes with twenty deployable balloons. The more balloons you’re holding, the higher you’ll float, and players can hold up to six balloons at any given time.

Say goodbye to the semi-auto sniper, guided missile, and dual pistols. However, these now-vaulted items will still be available in Playground Mode.

Glider re-deploy will remain a feature in all Fortnite modes, though it has been met with some criticism from players. But an audio update now makes it easier to hear gliders while shooting or harvesting, so hopefully that helps.

You can read the patch notes in their entirety below.

GAMEPLAY

Glider Re-deploy
We’ve finished our first week of Glider Re-deploy being available in all modes. During this time we’ve been collecting internal data and monitoring constructive feedback from all of you. We understand that not all players agree with this change, but we would like to continue with this functionality in the game based on the positive results we’ve been seeing.

As this feature remains available, we’ll begin making quality of life changes to its functionality. First of which will be prioritizing Glider audio over weapon audio within certain ranges, this will begin in v6.21. We also plan on adding additional changes in future updates.
