Fortnite: Battle Royale v8.10 Patch Notes
Fortnite: Battle Royale’s latest update, v8.10, is now live. Players can expect to see the new vehicle, The Baller, and an updated vending machine system in action as soon as the servers are back online.
The Fortnite servers will go down at 4 am CT to deploy the update. During this time, players can download the updated files for v8.10 and prepare for when the servers are back online.
The patch notes have been released, revealing a list of bug fixes, the return of the Getaway Limited Time Mode, and a new $100,000 tournament in the Events tab.
Here are the highlights of the v8.10 patch:
The Baller
Players who use The Baller, Fortnite’s latest vehicle, will be vulnerable to enemy fire. The Baller can only hold a single player and has 300 health before it is destroyed. Players can use the attached Grappler for movement and swinging through trees. The Baller can be found in Expedition Outposts and around pirate camp loot stashes.
Vending Machine Overhaul
Fortnite’s Vending Machines now work differently. The material costs of all three choices have been set to zero, but the Vending Machine can only be used once before it disappears. Only Rare, Epic, and Legendary Vending Machines will be found on the island.
Weapon Changes
The Common Infantry Rifle has been vaulted, while the Uncommon and Rare variants will remain in the game. The Heavy Assault Rifles have had their rarities adjusted and their base damage tuned down.
Return of Getaway Limited Time Mode
The Getaway Limited Time Mode has returned to Fortnite. Players will race to find a Jewel and take it to a getaway van before everyone else to win the match. Adjustments have been made to supply drops and item availability in this mode.
New Tournament with Prize Money
The Scallywag Duos Tournament will award $100,000 in prize money in a Duos cup on March 16 and 17. Epic Games will provide more details about this tournament leading up to the Fortnite World Cup.
