Epic Games has released a new update for Fortnite on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. Update 5.10 marks the start of a new limited time mode called Fly Explosives, which involves using jetpacks to cause mayhem. The update also pulls the Guided Missile weapon out of the vault and puts it into play.
“The Guided Missile is back from the Vault and dropping into Battle Royale this update,” the patch notes read. “In its time away, the Guided Missile has been tweaked and tuned down as it was too strong upon its initial release.” For those playing Save the World mode, there’s a new Spyglass Sniper Rifle, which will be available in the store on August 1 at 8 PM ET. Take a look below for the full Fortnite patch 5.10 notes.
