Since this is a Content Update and not a standard one, no downtime is required and the new items are live in Battle Royale now. Dataminers revealed the Bouncer trap last week, it was teased via the in-game news post on Monday and has just been released now. The Bouncer Trap was removed from Fortnite Battle Royale late last year and makes its triumphant return with a few noteworthy upgrades. It can be placed on floors or walls this time, which makes it a potentially interesting addition to the game.

Combined with standard base building and Jetpacks, Content Update 4.3 further emphasizes Epic's commitment to increasing combat verticality in Battle Royale. Watch the first gameplay footage of the Bouncer Trap in action above, and scour all sources of loot to find one yourself.

Fortnite is in early access across PS4, Xbox One, PC and iOS. Content Update 4.3 is live on all platforms.
