Fortnite – Patch 15.20: email sent to content creators

Epic Games often send emails to Fortnite content creators, explaining what are the highlights of each new patch:

The lever action shotgun

Blow them up! The new lever action shotgun is no joke. One accurate cannon shot is enough to bring down the most robust enemy. Get one and tell us what you think. It is available as loot dropped by enemies.

New exotic weapon

Be careful down there! Give your opponents warfare with this new exotic weapon, the jump rock doubles. Get bars and get hold of it to destroy the enemy in dual and jumping style.

Speaking of exotic things, your reduced price offer has been extended. Visit key characters on the island and swap bars for these unique weapons or try to collect them all in one match.

Something moves in the jungle

The forest is moving … There is something out there! The Secret Suit from the Battle Pass is closing in, leaving clues in the Sneaky Hold about who they are and what they’re up to.

Meanwhile, Agent Jones is recruiting the next pair of hunters to join the chaos.
