This patch includes some exclusive content for “Save the World” mode too including a new hero, new gun, general fixes, and much more.

So what’s new?

New Mode: FOOD FIGHT!

There’s a new Limited Time Mode called “Food Fight” where players will start on opposing sides with either a giant Tomatohead or Durr Burger head and build a base around it. Teams are separated by a giant translucent wall which drops after a five minute set up. The team to destroy the other’s head wins.

#TeamPizza or #TeamBurger – Who shall reign victorious?

New Weapons!

Fortnite v6.30 introduces two new weapons, one for battle royale and one for Save the World.

Mounted Turret

This new mounted turret is sure to delight. This weapons is perfect for base building and puts up some impressive burst damage. Remember to fire in bursts as the turret will overheat, leaving the operator vulnerable.

Last Word

Last Word is a revolver exclusive to “Save the World” mode. It’s somewhat similar to Ashe’s Viper from Overwatch. Firing from the hip grants a faster fire rate while aiming down sights improves accuracy.

“Save the World” Changes

“Save the World” mode has received a UI overhaul that cut down on the clutter. The main addition is the “Command Center” tab, which acts an overview of account progress and shows the current hero. It’s meant to be the hub point to launch from.

Also new is the Auto-Fill feature that will ensure survivors with the highest power are slotted in a squad together. Additionally, there’s a new quick tips screen that will help players understand the slotting process.
