In the new Fortnite update, they released a new compact SMG weapon, Fortnite 1st Birthday challenges, a limited time gamemode, and more! Engage in close quarters combat with the high capacity, fast firing Compact SMG. It’s available in Epic and Legendary variants, uses light ammo, and has 50 round capacity. We’ve got a birthday party planned for #Fortnite1st and you’re invited! Eat cake, party and bring your friends. Each Birthday Challenge you complete unlocks a slice of the birthday cosmetic set. You can now find birthday cakes placed around the map with consumable slices next to them. Cake slices give +5 health and +5 shield instantly when consumed.
Playground mode is coming back on the 25th. Featuring new team select options that let you and your squad set up team battles for practicing and training. Players can now switch teams in-game. Join the same team to work together creatively, join separate teams to practice fighting each other! Matches will no longer end if one player leaves the server, and respawn timer lowered from 10s to 3s. You can check out the link below for the full details on the new weapon, Birthday challenges, Playground mode, and other updates.
