Fortnite update 21.20. Submachine Gun removed, new weapons, Port-a-fort and more

Fortnite

Today’s update is apparently not particularly big, but only leaks show that Epic is preparing something.

If you have a pass, you can already complete Indiana Jones’s quests. You will find them in the challenges tab.

New Submachine Gun

There was one significant change in terms of weapons. First of all, one of the SMGs was moved to the treasury:

  • Combat Machine Gun has been removed from Ranked Modes.

Another rifle was added instead:

Found from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, Reality Saplings, and sharks, pick up the new Charge SMG to wind up a punch! You’ll activate a charge by holding down the trigger, and the more you hold it, the more bullets you’ll release when you let go. How to know when to release? You’ll see a gauge on-screen showing how far in the charge you are. Send a strategic full charge or a spontaneous partial charge!

The Port-a-fort was also restored.

Nothing says good vibes like convenience: the Port-A-Fort is back! Throw down a Port-A-Fort — found from the ground as well as Chests — to fortify yourself in seconds. Zero building is required, as the fort will arise on its own.

Epic also adds:

  • The Charge SMG is not included in competitive playlists.
  • The Combat SMG has been vaulted in competitive playlists.
  • The Port-A-Fort is not included in competitive playlists.
  • In case you missed it: Last week, we removed Characters and wildlife from competitive playlists to improve server performance.
