Dopo averlo annunciato qualche giorno fa, nella giornata di ieri Epic Games ha finalmente rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento dedicato a Fortnite, che porta il titolo alla versione 3.3.0.

Disponibili, inoltre, dei piccoli lama di supporto sparsi per la mappa che, al loro ritrovamento, garantiranno una buona dose di munizioni, trappole e materiali utili per avere la meglio sui propri avversari.
