This week’s Fortnite update is fighting with fire. Light a fuse to the new Bottle Rocket item and let it rain down onto enemy barrages. Maybe gather around an Environmental Campfire for the aesthetic and the plus two healing you get every 25 seconds you’re standing by it. Each Campfire can only be used once per match so use it wisely. Bottle Rockets will be available in both Battle Royale and Creative mode.

The Wild West Duos limited time mode will have players facing off with a limited, cowboy based weapon set. Expect an increase in the chance for Slurp Juice to appear in Supply Drop and the return of some previously vaulted items such as the Revolver and the Double Barrel Shotgun. The team is also experimenting with a new LTM rotation schedule that will rotate every few days so more modes will be available over the week.

If you’re feeling inspired after Marshmello’s EDM concert in Fortnite, Creative mode has got you covered with more concert related props via Disco Gallery B prefabs.

Below are the Fortnite patch notes in their entirety.
