Fortnite Battle Royale v21.30 Update
New Weapon: Prime Shotgun
Deal the most damage with the first shot of the clip when using the new Prime Shotgun — no warm-up necessary! The Prime Shotgun is a unique shotgun that rewards players who frequently reload. This shotgun deals bonus damage when firing with a full clip! Reload that first round over and over to maximize your damage.
The remaining three shots deliver a constant damage rate across all three bullets, while not being as potent as the first. Of course, the on-screen ammo counter allows you to keep track of how many shots are left, but you can also use the shotgun’s light display to do so.
New Super Level Styles are now available
This Season’s Super Level Styles have gotten an update! You can now select the Platinum Rift, Lapis Slurp, and Auric Blaze Styles alongside all other combinations of Malik, Evie, Adira, Sabina, and Stormfarer.

Fortnite Creative v21.30 Update
The new Player Marker device is now available
Using the Player Marker gadget, you may make a marker that shows a player’s Health, Shield, resources, and distance from other players on the island on their nameplate. To your marker, you can also add a symbol and personalized text. Both the main map and the mini-map have markers displayed.
Remember that the Player Marker is not visible unless a player has a nameplate attached to their player.
