We have a new Fortnite OG hotfix update released today (23rd November 2023). The Season 9 and Season X update is now available to play.
Last week, we had the very first new major Fortnite update for the OG season. That was followed by this week’s v27.11 patch update.
The update included new cosmetics including the Eminem outfit along with the event files. The event has been confirmed as “The Big Bang” event which will take place on December 2nd.
The v27.11 update also included the changes that have gone into effect with today’s new release including the return of vaulted items and some map changes.
Here’s a look at all of the changes to the Loot Pool and map with the release of the final hotfix update of the season.
Fortnite Season X Blast OffUpdate Patch Notes – 23 November (11/23/23)
As expected, with the release of the Fortnite OG season 9 and season X update, we have some changes to both the loot pool and the map.
Season X Blast Off Loot Pool
Thanks to the patch notes released at the start of the season, we know some of the items that would be returning to the game.
The Heavy Sniper, Proximity Grenade Launcher, Air Strike, and Junk Rift were already confirmed to be returning with the Blast Off hotfix release.
Storm Flip Fortnite Item Returns – What Does it Do?
The Jetpack and the Storm Flip items have also made their way back into the game with today’s new release.
The storm Flip is thrown at a surface and will produce a different effect based on whether it’s thrown in or out of the Fortnite Battle Royale storm.
If it’s thrown when a player is in the storm, it’ll create a large storm that will remove all storm damage to whoever is in the radius of the sphere that’s created. It’ll last for 20 seconds before wearing off.
If a player is within the circle and throws the Storm Flip Fortnite item, it will create a large sphere that’ll deal the same damage as the current phase of the storm to the players within the sphere.
The Baller vehicle has also finally made its way back into Fortnite. Although it was first introduced in season 8, Epic decided it was best to add the vehicle back towards the end of the Fortnite OG season.
Here are all of the vaulted items:
- Planes
- Cannons
- Hunting Rifle
- Drum Gun
- Combat Shotgun
- Quad Launcher
- Quad Crasher
- Trasure Maps
- Balloons
- Stink Grenades
- GLider Redeploy Item
- Sticky Grenades
- TNT
- Poison Traps
Here are the items that have been added:
- Drone POIs
- Chug Splashes
- Infantry Rifle
- Drum Shotgun
- The Baller
- Heavy Sniper Rifle
- Proximity Grenade Launcher
- Air Strikers
- Junk Rift
- Strom Flip
