Fortnite's 9.20 game update has arrived, and this week's featured addition is the Storm Flip item, which is a personal storm in your pocket that allows you to reverse the storm condition of a localised area.

Put simply, if you throw it where there is no storm, a sphere shaped area will be created with a storm in it. Throw it into the storm, and the reverse will happen, creating a localised safe space in a spherical area that lasts twenty seconds.

Elsewhere, the Hunting Rifle has been vaulted, due to Epic believing that the weapon has become outclassed by the Infantary Rifle, and plenty of other sniper rifle options being available. There's also tweaks to the Mounted Turrets, Loot Carrier and the Boom Bow, and this week's Limited Time Event – Sword Fight – will see Epic or better weapons in all chests, with some featuring the Infinty Blade. 

Over in Creative mode, Transmitters and Recievers have been added as well as a Storm Device allowing players to manipulate the storms, Epic promise more ways to channel the storm in later releases. New Pueblo themed items are also available, alongside a whole host of other changes and tweaks you can read up on on the Fortnite website.
