The new Fortnite v7.30 Content Update is not the most significant one the game has ever seen, but it does add two interesting new features while removing one of the most misguided additions at the same time. Call your loved ones and celebrate: Boom Boxes are gone.
The Bottle Rockets are a new item available in Uncommon variety that spew out a barrage of 45 small rockets for 10 damage to players and 40 to structures, which doesn’t seem too bad on the face of it. They don’t pack a huge punch, as illustrated in the trailer below where it takes a little while to destroy a small restaurant in Retail Row.
Another addition is the Environmental Campfires, which you can walk up to and activate to regain two health per second for 25 seconds in total for players in nearby proximity. These can only be used once per match, however,
The changes in full:
