Fortnite Season 6 update v16.10

With the latest update providing better spawn rates for players, animals, vehicles, and other new features, the v16.10 update will bring in a lot more. With this update, players can expect to see a lot of new gear and characters.

Driftboard

It's rumored that the infamous Driftboard will be seen once again in this new update. Players might remember the Driftboard from way back in Chapter 1 – Season 7.

One thing to note is that the Driftboard was primarily used on snow or water. The new map has some water but is mostly comprised of land. It's speculated that the Drftboard may be overpowering on land.

Recycler Gun

Another upcoming weapon is the Recycler Gun. It was shown briefly in the Season 6 trailer but was never officially added. If it does appear in the next update, players will have to adjust to its uses.

The new update will also introduce some new Exotics. Deadfire will be selling a Marksman Revolver, Lara Croft will sell a Grappler Bow, Raptor will sell a Flare Gun, and Rebirth Raven will sell an Unstable Bow.

With this, players can expect new NPCs that haven't been out yet. Although not much is known about it yet, players hope to see them next week or so with the new update.
