The first major update since the launch of Season 2 Fortnite Chapter 2 is available from Tuesday, March 3rd. Update 12.10 has affected both PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

After the longest season in Fortnite history, the introduction of Season XNUMX has breathed new life into the popular Battle Royale, and after complaining that the developers didn't release enough patches, it looks like Epic Games took the criticism to heart, releasing the second significant patch in less than two weeks.

I will answer everything!

Now the developers have released a new update that includes new weapons and some bug fixes to help improve the quality of the gameplay.

Mine

The main addition to update v12.10 are Proximity Mines, which first appeared in the Battle Pass trailer for February 20 for Fortnite Season 2. As expected, these are throwable items that are placed on the ground and activate when an enemy player gets too close to it.

They then fly into the air and explode, dealing damage to the enemy and letting you know that someone was trying to approach you from that direction, making them ideal for camping in a building and closing entry points, as opponents will be wary of getting too close, they deal 50 damage. Players hit by this weapon will also be tagged, meaning you will be able to see them through walls after the mines explode.

Error correction

As always, Epic Games has been hard at work fixing some glaring issues that have been affecting the game in recent weeks as the developers updated their official Trello to show what glitches were fixed in the v12.10 update.

For those hoping for a massive improvement in game performance, there's bad news as the map with mentions of FPS loss and frame rate remains "in development", but we may see Epic release a surprise patch once it's finished. Just like they did for PS4 on February 26th. You can view the full list of bug fixes below.

➤ Earn XP from XP coins not appearing in the XP bar.
➤It is not possible to close a map with map input if it is linked to an upward pad.
