In the new Fortnite update, they released the Grappler item, a new limited time mode, and more! The new Grappler item attaches to anything you hit for quick traversal. Fire the grappler at a nearby object to pull yourself towards it. The Grappler has 15 charges and will be discarded when charges are depleted. It’s an epic rarity and can be found in Vending Machines, floor loot, Treasure Chests, Supply Drops, and Supply Llamas. The moving storm has changed in this update. In the moving storm phases, when the storm reaches its destination, it will cause a surge of energy that destroys player-built structures located on the storm wall.
The Getaway is a new limited time mode that has recently been added. In this mode, players will race to find a Jewel and take it to a Getaway Van before everyone else to win the match!
Jewels can be found in special supply drop safes, located along the edge of the first storm circle. The safes take a long time to open, so make sure the area is clear before attempting to claim a Jewel! When a Jewel is picked up, it will be visible on the map to everyone for 30 seconds. You can check out the link below for the full details on the Grappler item, new limited time mode, all of the bugs that have been fixed, and other updates.
