Fortnite: Full Description Patch 29.01.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX
Epic Games has released an extraordinary content update that includes backlog fixes, a new emote leak, new NFL skin styles, and a redesigned Save the World mode...
Epic Games has released a surprise content update for Battle Royale and Save the World. Nothing special has been added to the game, but there have been a few bug fixes as well as a few new skin styles and a brand new emote leaked by insiders.
Another significant update is expected before Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 Begins February 20th , v11.50. It's not that update, it just looks like a small drop in content since the v11.40 patch.
Epic Games has not previously announced this update and no downtime is expected as it is just a small patch.
New NFL Player Skin Styles
According to leading Fortnite insider ShiinaBR, the main addition for Battle Royale players is new skin styles for NFL football outfits, as well as a new emote.
The dataminer also explains that there are "a few updates to Save the World" but nothing new about creative mode.
