New Ranger Shotgun, Competitive Fixes, Bug Fixes and More

Fortnite’s latest patch for Chapter 3 Season 2 has arrived and it brings a whole lot of new content for the players to immerse themselves in. The latest update consists of a new weapon, which is the Ranger Shotgun. The update has also added new throwable weapons, Rift-to-Go and Boogie bomb. The developers have also added some new Covert-Ops quests along with some bug fixes.

The new update is being called Battle for Coney Crossroads, the players emerged victorious in the Battle for Condo Canyon, and the Resistance have turned that POI into their new stronghold. The Imagined Order has now infiltrated Coney Crossroads and it is up to the players to drive these invaders out.

Fortnite Update 20.20 Patch Notes

Battle for Coney Crossroads

• Condo Canyon can again be called home: the Battle for Condo Canyon is a victory for the Resistance! With the Resistance settling in at this POI, Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and set of Turrets can now be found here.The fight against the IO goes on, this time at Coney Crossroads. A literal and figurative turning point, jump into the Battle for Coney Crossroads and help push the IO back! (Refusing to give up, Huntmaster Saber is again prowling overhead.)

Ranger Shotgun

• Wanna fight for Coney with extra confidence? The Ranger Shotgun has appeared on the Island, built for much longer range than most Shotguns. This burst Shotgun has one shot per reload. Because each shot deals serious damage, you won’t need to panic while reloading. Find Ranger Shotguns on the ground, from certain vendors, and in Chests, Supply Drops, and sharks.

New Throwable Weapons

• The Resistance plans to supply the Boogie Bomb or Rift-To-Go — but needs help deciding which one. Both are tailored for escaping tricky situations. An enemy come out of nowhere? Throw a Boogie Bomb to trap them in a dance. In a losing struggle? Use a Rift-To-Go to create an emergency Rift.
• Before one of these escape mechanisms is unvaulted, you’ll have the opportunity to try out both in the wild. Find Boogie Bombs and Rift-To-Gos scattered throughout the Island from Friday, April 22, at 8 AM ET to Monday, April 25, 2022, at 8 AM ET. Not too long after this trial period ends, you can vote for your favorite choice by contributing Bars at Funding Stations. The first item that reaches 100% Funded will swiftly enter the loot pool!

Covert Ops Quests

• Help The Origin complete a covert operation in Zero Build. You must finish both stages of each Quest before time runs out to receive the next Quest! Your first task begins April 22 at 9 AM ET.

The Origin’s agenda:

• Quest 1: Begins April 22 at 9 AM ET and ends April 26 at 8:59 AM ET
• Finished Quest 1 before April 26 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 2!
• Quest 2: Begins April 26 at 9 AM ET and ends April 28 at 8:59 AM ET
• Finished Quest 2 before April 28 at 8:59 AM ET? You’ll proceed to Quest 3!
