New Fortnite Update v13.20 – Patch Notes, Flare Gun, Server Downtime Status

A new Fortnite update is coming, v13.20. Here’s everything we can expect from tomorrow’s update.

Epic Games launched Fortnite chapter 2 season 3 almost two weeks ago. Since chapter 2 began, there haven’t been many updates with new items or map changes, however, it seems like that will be changing this season.

Epic released a content update last week that introduced Fireflies and the Firefly jar. Players can throw these jars at players to objects. Upon impact the firefly jars will deal 40 damage to a player.

Not only does it seem like Epic will be adding more items like they did in chapter 1, it’s likely we’ll see a lot more map changes as the season progresses. So far in chapter 2, there haven’t been many map changes during a season, but in chapter 1 and in season 10 in particular, there were either weekly or bi-weekly map changes.

With the water levels on the map set to recede, it’ll reveal new and old locations. Leaks have already showed us what some of the old locations on the map will look like when the water levels lower.

Epic have announced a new Fortnite update, v13.20, which will likely bring some map changes to the game as well as a new item or weapon. Here’s everything we know so far and what we can expect from the v13.20 update.

v13.20 Patch Notes

Flare Gun Fortnite

In the downtime tweet on the Fortnite status Twitter account, the tweet stated that they’re adding a new flare to the game. This all but confirms the flare gun will finally be coming to Fortnite Battle Royale.

The Flare Gun was leaked way back in chapter 1, and was used in a short Fortnite clips Epic tend to post on their YouTube and Twitter account. It was added back to the files at the start of season 3, and here’s the stats for the gun:

Map changes – water level

It’s almost certain that there’ll be some map changes. The water levels will likely be lower once the Fortnite servers are back up. Leaks showcased what some old locations from season 2 will look like when they make their return as the water levels lower.

We’ll likely see one or two locations make a comeback in tomorrow’s new v13.20 Fortnite update, or we could see a new location emerge.

Leaks

As this is a major Fortnite update, we’ll see a some leaks coming from the files. Expect to see new Fortnite skins and other cosmetics leaked along with upcoming items, new challenges and more.
