Fortnite's 7.30 content update is now live across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The patch notes for this week's update detail a variety of tweaks and additions to the hit battle royale game, including a new weapon, limited-time mode, and more.
Headlining this week's content update is the previously teased Bottle Rocket, a new item that will rain explosives down on structures when thrown. Bottle Rockets drop in stacks of two and can be found either as floor loot or in chests, Vending Machines, Supply Llamas, and Supply Drops.
To make room for Bottle Rockets, Epic has vaulted another older item: the Boom Box. The developer has also made some major changes to environmental campfires. Previously, these campfire pits were decorative, but now they can be lit by interacting with them. Doing this will effectively turn them into a Cozy Campfire, healing all players within their radius for a limited time. However, each campfire can only be used once per match.
Finally for Battle Royale, Epic has kicked off a new limited-time mode: Wild West Duos. This LTM pits teams of two against each other with only a limited variety of weapons at their disposal, including Hunting Rifles, Shotguns, Dynamite, and the Revolver and Double-Barrel Shotgun, which have been unvaulted for this event.
While previous limited-time modes have typically run for a week, Epic says it is testing a new LTM schedule. Now, playlists will rotate out every few days "to allow a more diverse amount of modes to be available over the course of a week."
Save the World mode also receives some new content this week, including another Frostnite challenge. A new hero, Subzero Zenith, is also available in the Event Store, and the Dragon weapons have returned for the Lunar New Year. You can find the full patch notes for the 7.30 content update, courtesy of Epic's website, below.
