Epic Games has revealed the patch notes for update v6.31, which features a brand new Limited Time Mode (LTM) and the new Pump Shotgun. The LTM is Team Rumble, which rewards a Victory Royale to the first team to reach 100 enemies. Fortnite Save the World gets Airheart, a new constructor who drops the Rotating Omni-directional Sentry Integrated Exoskeleton (R.O.S.I.E.) to defend against waves of enemies.

The highlights below are merely a snapshot of the improvements and changes coming to both Fortnite Battle Royale and Save the World. You can read the full v.6.31 Fortnite patch notes on the official website.

  • Two large teams fight for the Victory Royale in an action-packed mode where the first team to get 100 eliminations wins!
• Mode Details
  • Two teams of 20 players.
  • Players will respawn after 5 seconds when eliminated, keeping their inventory.

  • Pump Shotgun maximum damage increased from 80 / 85  to 95 / 100
