Leaked patch notes for Fortnite v21.10 update

1) Super Styles

According to the leakers, this content update adds Super Styles to the game for five skins — Malik, Evie, Adira, Sabina, and Stormfarer. Like other seasons, players will have to level up their Battle Pass past level 100 to unlock these styles.

2) Naruto collaboration: Part 2

Given how impressive the recent Naruto collaboration was, it was obvious that Epic Games would be doing another one. It was inevitable, with profits to be made and fans to be pleased.

Well, the collaboration is finally here, and it looks glorious. A total of four more skins have been decrypted.

However, they won't be available in the Item Shop just yet. Readers will have to wait a few more hours before being able to purchase them. With that being said, here are the new outfits:

3) Creative Summer Challenges

The Summer Event for 2022 has been revealed, and like last time, challenges will once again be held on Creative Maps. Now, before loopers say, "Here we go again," the maps seem to offer more this time.

Rather than simply focusing on building and fighting, the new set of creative maps will contain activities like parkour challenges and prop hunts. This should make it easier for gamers to obtain experience points and rewards.

According to information, a total of 60,000 XP can be earned.

4) "Lightsaber noise intensifies"

After much anticipation and speculation, Lightsabers have returned to Fortnite. They can be found in special chests across the island. Combined with Grapple Gloves, this item will make combat interesting, to say the least.

Players can close the distance swiftly and drop behind an enemy to take them down with a Lightsaber. However, fret not as the E-11 Blaster Rifle has also been added to level the playing field.

Aside from weapons, hostile Stormtroopers have been added to the map.

5) Ripsaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun

During the downtime, two new weapons have been added to the game: Ripsaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun. As the names suggest, the former will fire saw blades, while the Firework Flare Gun will fire flares.

Coming to stats, the Ripsaw Launcher doesn't seem all that impressive on paper. It has relatively low damage and minimal magazine size.

On the other hand, the Firework Flare Gun has lots to offer. When launched into the air, it reveals the opponents' locations., which will come in handy for scouting and pushing.

Reality is often disappointing... unless it's to do with Fortnite

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 introduced the Reality Tree. With this enigmatic being also came the new biome. As leakers predicted, this tree's roots are slowly spreading across the island. Currently, it has taken over Logjam Lumberyard.

Aside from purple terrain and alien-looking trees, it would seem Epic is working on something called Reality Clouds. No one knows what this does or how it may even function.

Since the developers often say one thing and mean something else, it's anyone's guess as to what this might be.
