Indiana Jones skin arrives in Fortnite

A new POI called Shuffled Shrines emerges

A teaser posted by the Fortnite Competitive Twitter account confirmed that there will be some big changes to the map following the 21.20 update, and now it looks like we’ve got a brand new temple POI.

Try a new weapon: the Charge SMG!

A brand new weapon has been added to the loot pool with the Fortnite 21.20 update. With the Charge SMG, you can hold down the trigger to charge up before unleashing a spray of bullets.

All good things must come to an end, though, as the Combat SMG has now been vaulted to make way for this new weapon.
