Recap
- From patch v10.20.1
While we don't yet fully understand how the Zapper Trap functions in game, its basic premise sounds a lot like the old Ceiling Zapper that debuted in the early days of Battle Royale. That trap was meant to shock opponents whio stand on it, and this defense mechanism works the same way. The Ceiling Zapper was ultimately swapped for spikes because it was too loud, but we imagine this new iteration takes those auditory shortcomings into account.
As for the map changes, the return of Floating Island is sure to turn more than a few heads this morning. Kevin the Cube was one of the most beloved fixtures in the Fortnite universe, so it's nice to see him back in his rightful place at Loot Lake. Previously the map featured a couple monuments in his honor, but now it's got the real thing. The altered Rift Zone doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, but it's still a nice shot of nostalgia for those who've enjoyed Fortnite over the past few months. Like most Content Updates, Fortnite Content Update 10.20 isn't exceptionally massive, but it features some cool stuff for fans to enjoy.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile.
