With the awaited arrival of the 19.20 update to Fortnite, players will be pleased to see some new additions and returning favorites available to download right now. If you’re a fan of some of the close-range weapons that Fortnite has to offer, then this update is going to be right up your alley. Additionally, Epic Games has also fixed some bugs that have been tracked on the Fortnite Community Trello board, making the game feel even better than before.
New places and returning weapons
Fortnite update 19.20 has introduced a brand new Point of Intrest to the island known as Covert Cavern. Navigate through the facilities to find a wide variety of weapons and resources. Venture deep enough into the cavern and find the Mythic Gunnar boss. While this boss may look like just another enemy, be prepared to fight and build around him to take him down as he has a good chunk of health.
In addition to the new POI, the fan-favorite heavy shotgun makes its triumphant return as ground, loot chest, and supply drop loot. With some adjusted damage numbers, the Heavy Shotgun feels very familiar, although it is currently unable to penetrate through multiple targets. The Stinger SMG is also getting the Mythic Rarity treatment, available to drop from the Gunnar boss in the Covert Cavern POI.
Along with the new and returning weapons, players will now be able to unlock the wide variety of masks available for the Haven battle pass skin. Each mask will have its own set of quest steps you will need to complete before the end of Chapter 3 Season 1.
