Fortnite V4.4 Content Update Patch Notes: Stink Bombs, & More

3.9
The Fortnite downtime has finished and, as with seemingly every week, there’s some fresh new content to enjoy. The V4.4 Content Update is small, but brings a couple of cool additions to the game, as well as some useful bug fixes.

Fortnite Stink Bomb:

First up is the Stink bomb that was announced yesterday. When you throw one it releases a poisonous cloud that slowly damages everyone inside. It’ll be fun to see how these interact with the new thermal assault rifle, since you’ll be able to see people through the cloud who might not be able to see out.



Fortnite 8-Bit Demo Skin:

Joining the Stink Bombs in this V4.4 Content Update is a cool new skin: 8-Bit Demo. Completed with retro controller cap and pixelated Back Bling, the 8-Bit Demo skin is a fun nod to classic gaming heroes.

The official description of the skin is as follows:

“Build it up or tear it down with the new 8-Bit Demo. Grab it in the Event Store and make a bang.”



LIMITED TIME MODE: FINAL FIGHT – TEAMS OF 20:


This week’s Limited Time Mode is a fun one, where teams of 20 players battle in larger storm circles until there’s a winner. If the time runs out, then the team with more players wins – or if it’s even you tie.


Fortnite V4.4 Content Update Patch Notes:

BATTLE ROYALE


GENERAL

  • LIMITED TIME MODE: FINAL FIGHT: TEAMS OF 20

Survive the countdown! The Storm Circles give players more room to hunt down opponents. The final circle triggers a countdown timer; when the time is up, the team with the most players remaining wins. In this LTM, teams can tie for the Victory Royale!

Mode Details

Final Fight plays similar to standard Battle Royale, but instead of the Storm circles closing all the way, the Storm stops after the 3rd circle.
When the circles have finished closing in, the final countdown timer will begin.
The remaining teams will battle it out until the timer expires.
The team with the most players remaining at the end of the timer wins!
In the event of a tie, the two (or more) teams tied for the lead win the match.

They need to release the 50v50 LTM fully as a game mode and not LMT. 20V20 is so shit.

NickPosted:

The stink bombs are so much fun to play around with

MikePosted:

Not too excited on stink bombs haven't tried em

SaxbyyPosted:

Stink bombs are ok at best and seem to be a bit glitchy where they deal damage even when you aren't in them

TTGPosted:

The stink bombs are quite affective, don't camp or get stink bombed.

RareparrotPosted:

That skin looks like a taco constructionist

SilkyPosted:

I actually don't mind the stink bombs, effective to stop people from camping.

DeadLizard Woah I didn't see this skin available?? And the stink bombs are sick, can push a camper out of their little forts.


the skin will probably be available within this week. The new stink bombs are actually useless though.


You have to know how to use them.

JoeIPosted:

The new game mode is pretty fun, requires team work and skill I think. As soon as you go off in 2/3s your buggered as you run into full squads.

GodzookyPosted:

The skin looks rather cool even tho I don't spend my money on cosmetics for a game, stink bombs are pretty useless and don't intend on carrying them anytime soon
