Fortnite update v23.30 patch notes: Dragon Ball skins, Kamehameha returns & new Augments

Fortnite update 23.30 has arrived, bringing another Dragon Ball crossover, new Augments, and the much-desired Geralt of Rivia skin. Here are the patch notes for Fortnite v23.30.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is set to end on March 10, leaving plenty of time for a handful of updates to still release ahead of Season 2. 

Season 1 has brought many crossovers into the game with ones such as My Hero Academia, Doomslayer, and the most recent Kid LAROI event.

Yet, there is still room for some more as the 23.30 update will bring in another crossover event and a long-awaited skin for players to enjoy.

Another Dragon Ball crossover arrives!

Following the success of the first Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration last year, another crossover is taking place with fan-favorite characters Son Gohan and Piccolo getting skins in the game.

Previous Dragon Ball skins – Goku, Bulma, Vegeta, and Beerus – are also expected to make a return to the Item Shop at a later date.

The Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud return

To celebrate the arrival of Son Gohan and Piccolo in Fortnite, two Dragon Ball-themed items will be making a return to the loot pool: The Kamehameha and the Nimbus Cloud!

You can find these items by searching Capsule Corp capsules that fall from the sky. These powerful items won’t be around forever, so enjoy them while you can.

A few more Reality Augments have arrived with the 23.30 update, giving you several new perks to try out mid-battle to enhance your performance.

These are Harvester, Shadow Striker, Riftjector Seat, Icy Slide, and Deft Hands. You’ll just have to try them out for yourself to see what they do…

Geralt of Rivia is almost here…

One of the most anticipated skins coming with the new update is the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, from The Witcher series. It’s set to become available on February 7 – which is just a few days away!

There will be a set of quests to grind through in order to unlock the new skin. These quests will also give out related items such as a new emote, his swords on his back, and a new loading screen.

New quests and challenges to complete

If you’re still working your way through your Battle Pass, you’ll be glad to know that more weekly quests are on their way to help you get that all-important XP.

Even better, these weekly challenges will no longer expire after seven days, so you don’t need to worry about missing out on completing them.
