Epic Games has launched patch 6.02 for Fortnite on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The update introduces a funky new Limited Time Mode and a powerful weapon for Battle Royale, while the Save The World gets a special new weapon too. The new Limited Time Mose for Battle Royale is Disco Domination. “Break out your best moves and take control of the dance floor in this new Limited Time Mode,” Epic says on the official Fortnite website. This mode is effectively King is the Hill, with players capturing a specific point by dancing it and defending it from enemies.

“Five dance floors will appear on the map whenever the storm is not moving,” Epic explains in the notes. “Emoting on a dance floor when no enemies are present will raise a disco ball in the center of the floor, and capture it for your team. The more friendly players dancing on a floor, the faster it will be captured. Once a floor is captured, it will begin filling the team’s “dance bar” on the HUD, until either an enemy stands on it or the current storm timer ends and the storm begins to move. The first team to fill their dance bar to 100% will win the match.”

The new Quad Rocket Launcher, meanwhile, fires four rockets in quick succession. It is available in Epic and Legendary variants, details of which you can find in the full patch notes below, courtesy of Epic. Along with the full patch notes for the Battle Royale changes, there’s a video of the Quad Launcher in action. Head to the Fortnite website to see what’s new with Save The World.

Limited Time Mode: Disco Domination

Summary

It’s time for the ultimate dance-off. Dance Floors have spawned around the Battle Royale island. Take them over by clearing out any enemies and then dancing to raise a disco ball up from the floor. The team that fills their meter the fastest by capturing and defending the dance floors will win the match!
