‘Fortnite’ Battle Royale Mode Receives new Update, Tweaks

Published

on

Fortnite players will be getting a shiny new update this week, including a new weapon.

In a new Dev Update video, it’s been announced that Fortnite players will be able to add a silenced SMG to their arsenal in Battle Royale mode, along with tweaks to weapon balancing and item drop rates. Those players who have been using the rocket and grenade riding tactics will be pleased to know that Epic will continue to support the newly-discovered transportation method, provided that it doesn’t break the game.

In addition, those who have become frustrated with team killers will be pleased that Epic is working on a solution to remove the players from your matches. Just keep on with reporting. Lastly, Epic will be creating a Battle Royale public test server in the future to try out changes to the core gameplay. Given that the Battle Royale mode has attracted over 20 million unique players since its launch in October, this is probably a good idea.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
