QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
Festival Auras Now Trigger on Victory Royale: We’ve heard your calls for Auras! Your equipped Fortnite Festival Aura now plays during your Victory Royale moment in Battle Royale.
Distance-based transparency: Audio Visualizer icons for gunshots and footsteps now fade based on distance. Close threats stay fully opaque, distant ones go transparent.
Reduced audio visualizer range for footsteps: Footsteps now surface on the indicator at a shorter range than gunshots, reflecting that footsteps are a close-range cue.
Ground Rush Goes Global: Ground Rush, the skydiving mechanic introduced last Season for Zero Build, is now active across Build and Zero Build.
Zero Build Ground Rush Glider Redeploy: Ground Rush now activates from Glider Redeploy states, not just initial drops or launch pads. Thanks for the Zero Build feedback everyone!
Battle Bus ADS: During the Battle Bus ride into a match, you can now aim down sights (ADS) to get a better view of the map. Also makes pinging and marking your drop site easier.
New Controller Setting - Tweak Zone: We’ve made a new way to tweak your aim with those tiny stick movements that are normally ignored in a controller’s Dead Zone. When enabled, these movements will move your crosshair directly instead of turning the camera. Perfect for lining up a long shot or turning a body shot into a headshot. Find Tweak Zone Aiming in Controller settings and let us know what you think!
Updated Storm Times: We've made storm circle timing changes to better pace matches and prevent slow endgames. These timing changes are not in Competitive or Ranked.
This change is intended to reduce situations where the number of players remaining in final storm phases is disproportionate to the available play area. As part of this, we're making adjustments to improve match pacing and help games reach a conclusion at a reasonable rate. These changes are designed to achieve that without making the storm feel overly aggressive, while still preserving adequate time during the early and mid game for looting, exploration, and engagement opportunities. Tell us how it feels!
@ModernVintageG@ModernVintageG are we getting any kind of new features, specifically online co-op or sandbox. I really want to play again with my brother and relive my childhood with him while we live so far apart? 💚
