Fortnite’s Last 7.10 Content Update Introduces Exciting Changes to Battle Royale
The third and final 7.10 Content Update for Fortnite is set to go live today. The patch notes reveal various tweaks and additions that players can expect in Battle Royale. One notable change involves The Block, which will now house the bouncy DM Arena by KojackNumber2 instead of the Mysterious Market.
The DM Arena was accidentally revealed by Epic in a tweet after the addition of Grimy Greens a few weeks ago.
The Block is a special area in Battle Royale that showcases the best creations made by Fortnite players in Creative mode. This time, developer Epic Games selected KojackNumber2’s arena.

The DM Arena is the fourth fan creation to be featured at The Block. DM stands for “deathmatch,” as the original name of the area was Bounce Pad Deathmatch. According to KojackNumber2, the creator of the map, it is a “free for all Deathmatch map designed for up to eight people.” In the original Creative map, players had access to Hand Cannons, Hunting Rifles, and Bounce Pads scattered throughout the area for aerial combat while eliminating opponents.
KojackNumber2 previously uploaded a video of the DM Arena on Reddit almost a month ago. The video provides a sneak peek of the interior of the area, showcasing walls covered in Bounce Pads and small corridors where players can take cover.
The DM Arena will be added to The Block once the third v7.10 Content Update goes live in the game, which should happen shortly. For those eager to test the arena before Fortnite’s servers shut down for maintenance, or for those wanting to experience KojackNumber2’s original creation, they can use the code 8792-1332-7866 to play the map in Fortnite Creative.
