Fortnite Game Info
Fortnite is a popular online video game made by Epic Games, and it came out in 2017. There are three different ways to play it, but they all have the same basic idea and game engine. In Fortnite Battle Royale, you can play for free with up to 100 other players, and you fight to be the last one standing. In Fortnite: Save the World, you team up with friends to fight off zombie-like creatures and protect things with traps and forts you build. Then there's Fortnite Creative, where you can make your own worlds and battle arenas.
Save the World and Battle Royale started as early-access games in 2017, while Creative was released on December 6, 2018. Fortnite Battle Royale became incredibly popular, with over 125 million players in less than a year and making lots of money, around hundreds of millions of dollars every month. Altogether, Fortnite made a whopping $9 billion in revenue by December 2019.
Fortnite Update 26.20 Patch Notes
FORTNITE SAVE THE WORLD | V26.20 HOMEBASE STATUS REPORT
PRIMAL STINK BOW
MORE HERO LOADOUTS!
WILDLIFE ADJUSTMENTS
Loot Crows are no longer the only wildlife that can carry loot! In addition to the loot Crows, loot Chickens, Frogs, Bears, Wolves, and Raptors can also appear. As you’re finding the new loot wildlife around the map, Dens and Nests will now appear around the edges of the map where you can get tamed wolves, boars, and raptors without danger!
Commanders will also notice that wildlife is not as dense as it used to be and when you eliminate any wildlife they don’t respawn as quickly or around you. Now you can clear out the map a bit easier before it repopulates!
All of these wildlife adjustments will remain in effect after the Hexsylvania Venture Season ends but, with Hexsylvania in full swing, Zombie Chickens are back, so look out! Luckily they'll only be around during the Fortnitemares Venture season!
