by Downtime for the third major Chapter 4 update has been announced for January 31, 2023. Here’s an overview of the patch notes for v23.30.
Return of Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball will return to Fortnite with the v23.30 update. A second wave of Item Shop cosmetics will be released once the server downtime ends and the Kamehameha Mythic should also be unvaulted.
New Reality Augmentations
The following real estate improvements are confirmed with the v23.30 update:
- Harvester – Shield Mushrooms, Apples and Pomegranates fall from the bushes.
- Shadow Striker – Receive the Shadow Bomb effect once you hit an enemy player.
- Icy Slide – Get icy feet when sliding.
- Riftjector Seat – Rift instantly when your shield breaks.
- Deft Hands – Automatically reloads pistols in your inventory.
Unvaulted Weapon
It’s likely that Fortnite’s v23.30 update will follow the pattern of recent patches and remove a random weapon. There are currently no clues as to what weapon this might be, but recently the Burst Assault Rifle, Heavy Shotgun, and Rocket Launcher have all returned.
