Fortnite Battle Royale 19.30 Full Patch Notes

Gyro And Flick Stick – More Controller Options!

Made in collaboration with input specialist and flick stick creator Julian “Jibb” Smart, we’ve added optional gyro controls to Fortnite on gyro-supported platforms. And flick stick too!


Fortnite on Nintendo Switch and Android had gyro-based motion controls before the release of v19.30, but this update brings more robust gyro controls to Fortnite on these two platforms plus PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Game Mode Select Screen Removed

With v19.30, we’ve removed the initial game screen (which appeared on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC) where players would select either Save the World, Battle Royale, or Creative. You’ll now boot up directly into the Lobby, ready to join the party and explore Fortnite!

What does this mean for Save the World and Creative? You can now find both modes via the “Discover” screen, accessible by clicking on the “CHANGE” button above “PLAY!” See our Loading into the Lobby blog post for more information.

Competitive Notes

• Removed Armored Walls from Supply Drop loot in competitive playlists.

Major Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue involving some players only having two Tent slots available, as opposed to the intended three.
• Fixed an issue on mobile involving build pieces not being placed after players double-tapped the associated icon.
• Fixed an issue — occurring in competitive playlists only — involving Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters dropping from eliminated players with the full 20 uses even if they didn’t have the full 20 before the player was eliminated.
