Fortnite gets Valentine’s Day crossbow with unlimited ammo - new patch

4
A Valentine’s Day crossbow will arrive in Fortnite following the latest patch on February 8.

Patch V2.4.2 brings with it the crossbow with unlimited arrows as well as a few other themed Valentine’s Day skins; cupid and a weird heartbroken bear. Because why not.

Changes are also being applied to the Shooting Test 1. It is now only available in solo play as it does not save progression for stats and challenges.

There’s good news for the more familiar weapons as both the shotgun and scoped assault rifle get some love. Shotgun headshot damage has been increased to 200% (up from 150%) and there’s no damage drop off when using the scoped assault rifle.

There’s no real changes for Save The Worlds players, but developer Epic did outline upcoming patches for the co-op game:

I still haven't gotten used to the crossbow. I think I'd prefer a snipe but then again Ammo and fire rate can be a concern

Chat Love the crossbow, love the fact it's unlimited ammo & doesn't shoot to fast or reload to fast, I love the fact that it takes some skill although there's not alot of bullet drop off, but regardless it's a fun weapon to play around with.


That is good to hear. It doesnt reload fast or shoot fast. So it is not OP :)

I wish it did more damage as i feel i hit and most of the time it should be a kill.. Its a great addition tho double is the new meta lol.

TOXICPosted:

Such a great update, and now with infinite ammo, was not to like.

SilkyPosted:

Not a huge fan of the crossbow although the unlimited ammo is a nice touch, just seems like a less effective bolt sniper.

CentPosted:

Update is pretty cool, I don't mind the crossbow it's quite nice. I wish they would have fixed some of the bugs though.
