Latest Fortnite Update Adds New Grenade, A New LTM, And Mobile Controller Support

Fortnite Battle Royale just got way cooler with the launch of Patch v7.30. The latest patch comes with a brand new weapon that might just give your opponents cold feet – the Chiller Grenade. The Chiller Grenade knocks enemies, allies, and vehicles back and will cause them to slip and slide with icy feet for 7 seconds.

The patch also introduces Bluetooth controller support for mobile devices and the new Solid Gold Limited Time Mode with all-Legendary weapon spawns and increased material gathering rates. The devs have also kicked off a new Pop-Up Tournament called the Architect Pop-Up Cup. The tournament’s rules allow for players to edit any player-made structure regardless of their team and is open to players with account level 10 and above. “This is an experiment that we’d like to try out in this testing environment, but aren’t quite sure of the full impact,” says Epic. “We’d love to hear feedback from your experiences playing with this change.”

Creative Mode has been updated with Piano Keys, Music Blocks, and Arctic Base Prefabs along with Ambient, Challenge, Random Chest, and Ammo Box Galleries. Save The World is also getting new content in the form of X-Ray Llamas and the ghostly Spectral Blade.

Patch v7.30 also contains the usual array of game improvements, balance changes, and bug fixes. Want the lowdown on the recent changes? Check out the official patch notes on the Fortnite official site.
