The Battle for Tilted Towers

Each week, we’ve seen the Resistance battle occurring at different locations in Fortnite. The 20.30 patch moves this battle from Rocky Reels to Tilted Towers as seven forces have conquered the previous battle.

The heart of the Island is at stake in the Battle for Tilted Towers. Join the Resistance in pushing back the IO! Higher than even the buildings is an IO Blimp carrying Huntmaster Saber, who refuses to stand down.

Shotgun Rebalanced

• Minimum pellet-hit count increased from 3 to 4 for the Striker Pump Shotgun, Auto Shotgun, and Drum Shotgun.
• Striker Pump Shotgun and Auto Shotgun pellet damage and headshot damage increased.
• Ranger Shotgun and Drum Shotgun headshot damage greatly increased, but no change to base pellet damage.
• Drum Shotgun damage falloff adjusted, shortening effective range. 

Choppa Unvaulted

The IO isn’t the only one who can take to the skies. Funding Stations for Choppas have been set up across all Seven Outposts — chip in Bars to bring this vehicle out of the vault! Once a Choppa is 100% Funded, fly across the map and attack from above.
