With Fortnite’s 3.99 update for Chapter 4 Season 4 also comes a new set of patch notes. They highlight new POIs, Ahsoka skins among new characters, and a whole new faction.
Players had been heavily anticipating the new Fortnite update for a while, though the early hours of this morning will be bringing forward the patch. Alongside that, Epic Games have officially announced the contents of the “Last Resort” update. The suave vampire Kado Thorne is poised as this season’s antagonist, in which players will be looting and raiding his estate to thwart his evil plans.
New characters include a burly fish, a pizza delivery girl, and Tik Tok’s viral Khaby Lame, among a host of other unique stories. Finally, although not available just yet, Star Wars’ Ahsoka Tano will be making an appearance with the TV show kicking off fully a few days ago.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 patch notes
New POIs (Points of Interest)
There’s three new POIs in Fortnite now: Sanguine Suites, Relentless Retreat, and the Eclipsed Estate. Each is filled with equipment and consumables, and valuable items too. It’s likely that each will be filled with henchmen and traps – with the season’s antagonist Kado Thorne likely to be found in one of them.
Ahsoka Tano Fortnite skin
If you’re a lucky owner of the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 battle pass, you’re going to get hold of the Ahsoka Tano skin at some point. The TV series has just kicked off on Disney Plus, and the appearance of the skin is just another example of Epic Games and Disney’s budding relationship.
New Weapons
Once rumoured and now confirmed, there’s a whole host of new weapons included in the latest update. Here are but a few of them:
- Rocket Ram
- Infiltrator Pump Shotgun
- Scoped Burst SMG
- Twin Mag Assault Rifle
- Business Turret
- Heist Bags
There’s also some returning Mythic weapons making exciting cameos, though they’ll only be found in the depths of Thorne’s treasures:
- Midas’ Drum Gun
- TNTINA’s Ka Boom Bow
- Oceon’s Bottomless Chug Jug
- Kit’s Charge Shotgun
- Kit’s Shockwave Launcher
- Zyg and Choppy’s Ray Gun
