5 major changes from the Fortnite 15.10 update patch

#5 Pre-Edits Option

Player feedback led Fortnite to make this change. There is now an option in the game that allows Pre-Edits to either be turned on or off. If turned off, new builds will always appear in their default state when building occurs. If turned on, Fortnite players can build pre-edited structures for an even more strategic way to take on battles.

#4 Spy Within LTM

The Spy Within LTM is said to be like Fortnite's version of Among Us. This mode is being added as an LTM after becoming a very popular Creative mode.

There is a team of Spies and a team of Agents. The team of Spies must hunt down the team of Agents before they complete their objectives. This is very much similar to Among Us.

#3 New Weapons

Fortnite now has the Cowboy Repeater Rifle. It is a rapid shooting gun that is said to have "dead-eye" accuracy. Along with that, Blaze has an Exotic-class weapon for sale that is purchasable with Bars.

The Dragon's Breath sniper rifle is a weapon that can be bought. There is also a cold-loving character to counteract Blaze's love for fire, with their own "chilly armaments."

#2 Next-Gen Frame Rate

Fortnite players on next-gen consoles will now have the option of "120 FPS Mode." Epic Games has allowed PS5 and Xbox Series consoles the option for a "buttery smooth" frame rate. It does need to be noted that the resolution will be capped at 1440p on those consoles if 120 FPS Mode is active.

#1 Operation: Snowdown

Operation: Snowdown is this year's massive winter event in Fortnite. This will bring more LTM games to Fortnite Island, along with new characters. There are new "chilling items" added and quests to complete.

All of these quests provide some snowy cosmetic items and two exclusive outfits. Winter in Fortnite is always a blast, and Operation: Snowdown looks to continue that trend.
