Fortnite update 20.10 early patch notes: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla skins, Heavy Sniper, more

Fortnite’s 20.10 update is here, and as Chapter 3 Season 2 continues to evolve, it’s set to introduce Assassin’s Creed Valhalla skins, the Heavy Sniper, bug fixes, and more.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 kicked off in March 2022, and it’s scheduled to end on Friday, June 3. It brought about some interesting changes, including the addition of the Zero Build mode, and it’s about to get some more.

Fortnite update 20.10 is a relatively minor patch, but it’s introduced new skins, weapons, and a big battle. Here’s a rundown of everything we know so far, beginning with what time the patch is going to go live.

Fortnite update 20.10 patch notes

Fortnite update 20.10 was released on Tuesday, April 5 at 1 AM PT/4 AM ET/9 AM BST. The servers are now back up and you can jump straight into the new update!

The battle for the Daily Bugle begins

Over at The Daily Bugle, the iconic Spider-Man location on the Fortnite map, both Imagined Order and Resistance forces have gathered for a huge battle to gain control of the Island!

Drop in and help the Resistance fight back against the Imagined Order – but watch out, as Huntmaster Saber has relocated to The Daily Bugle and is watching from above…

Super Styles have arrived

While many players are still working their way through the standard Battle Pass rewards, with that Doctor Strange skin just out of reach, Epic Games have added a new set of unlockables to strive for.

That’s right: This season’s Super Styles have now been added to the game. There are Stealth Silver, Tempest, and Vivid styles to unlock, but they’re not easy to get – our ‘level up fast’ guide might help.

The Heavy Sniper Rifle has been unvaulted

There’s a new Sniper Rifle on the scene… well, technically an old one, but the Heavy Sniper Rifle has just been brought back for Chapter 3 Season 2!

Epic have made some changes to the classic weapon. While damage remains the same, headshot and build damage rates have been nerfed slightly, while reload time has been buffed a small amount.

Assassin’s Creed Skins in Fortnite

In March 2022, Epic Games added Assassin’s Creed 2 protagonist Ezio Auditore to the ever-growing list of Fortnite skins. However, it was only available to those who purchased Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on the Epic Games store.
