Fortnite v6.01 Introduces Chiller Trap, Improves Playground

Fortnite Chillder

It’s nearly a week since Fortnite Season 6 began, and it’s already shaping up nicely indeed. The v6.01 update isn’t quite as large as the patch that kicked off the season, but it has some important tweaks and changes all the same, as well as a new trap.

The Chiller, which was already leaked, will now be added to the game, presumably as a replacement for the Bouncer. They stack in sets of three and can be found pretty much everywhere, including on the floor. Epic also released an incredibly brief glimpse at the new item in action.

Common Trap.
Can be placed on floors, walls, or ceilings.
Drops in stacks of 3 in Treasure Chests, Supply Drops, Vending Machines, Supply Llamas, and floor loot.
Applies icy feet to friends or foes, causing them to slide around with low friction.

Other updates including improvements to Playground to afford more options to players, which were not detailed fully in the patch notes. We know that you can tweak your starting health and the gravity, however, which should make for some interesting situations. This version of Playground has been around for a long time, so perhaps it’s quietly been made permanent?

There are other changes for audio and also platform-specific tweaks for Switch and mobile. For the full patch notes, check them out here while you wait for Fortnite to come out of downtime.
