Fortnite’s 5.10 Update Introduces A New Mode All About Jet Packs And Guided Missiles

Fortnite 5.10 update is all about jetpacks and explosives.

Guided missiles are back, but more about scanning the area, rather than taking enemies down.

A brand new limited time mode has also been released. It’s called ‘Fly Explosives’ and it’s all about using jetpacks to rise above your opponents and shoot explosives down at them.

As we had reportedly previously, Playground is also back and bigger than ever.

FORTNITE 5.10 PATCH NOTES

LIMITED TIME MODE: FLY EXPLOSIVES

Summary
This mode combines the explosive fun of the High Explosives LTM and the vaulted Limited Time Item Jetpack. Take to the skies and blast everyone else back to the lobby!

Mode Details

  • Only Explosive Weapons can be found in this mode.
  • Floor Loot spawners will occasionally spawn Jetpacks.
  • Fly Explosives Jetpacks have increased fuel regen rate & decreased burn rate compared to Default Jetpacks, to keep pilots in the sky a bit longer.
  • Between-storm wait times have been reduced due to players needing less time to find adequate loot (avg. match length should be lower than 20m).
  • Rocket Ammunition capped at 120.
  • Profile Stats (K/D & Wins) are tracked in this mode.
