Fortnite update 6.21 introduces a new way to get some air time in the shape of balloons. It's pretty simple, really; you blow them up, and up and away you go.

It looks a bit daft to see people floating around with balloons, but it works pretty well and I imagine it's quite amusing to pop someone's balloon by shooting them, which of course people will be doing a lot.

Meanwhile, the Fortnitemares event will wrap up on November 4, so there's still time to complete the challenges and earn yourself the Dark Engine Glider for Fortnite Battle Royale.

Finally, the Save the World version of Epic Games' shooter has added Dim Mak Igor to the roster, allowing you to lob smoke bombs at enemies. He looks a bit like a plague doctor, and can resist damage using his Shadow Stance ability.
