That latest update for Epic Games’ Fortnite is now live and brings with it a ton of new in-game content to enjoy. From a new mode, to new heroes – even that coveted replay feature finally implemented – there’s a lot to love with patch v3.5. And we can’t forget about those port-a-forts!

There’s a lot to go over! The below notes are broken down by General, Battle Royale, and Save the World.

    • Supply drops come in batches of 3-6, fall every two minutes, and only land in the final storm circle.
