Fortnite fans have more content to play with as Update 12.21 hits the live servers for players and so far it's not looking like anything massive has arrived, but something we didn't expect did, which is detailed further down below!

What's new?

As mentioned, the Fortnite update is 363 MB on PC and isn't anything large to go by, however, several notable changes have hit the live servers. A brand new and exciting challenge has dropped to keep you on your toes!

The "Awaken Oro" challenges will see you complete several in-game tasks rewarding you with some hefty experience points per challenge complete and are as follows:

  • Assist teammates with Eliminations.
  • Play a game with a friend.
  • Deal damage to opponents.
  • Collect medals.
  • Complete ALL CHALLENGES to earn the reward item.
  • Complete ANY 2 CHALLENGES to earn the reward item.

While the challenge has only just gone live, it is not clear whether the skin will be rewarded upon completion, available in the shop, with the battle pass or via some other means but this boney boy seems to be praising the sun anyway. A notable Fortnite leaker has also data-mined showing that no cosmetic skins will arrive this patch, too.

It's only natural at the moment that Fortnite hasn't updated anything else major after the last patch they added, which contained several notable changes to the game, including the addition of helicopters which can take your entire squad to a variety of loot locations in and around the map.

What's fixed?

As Fortnite does not release official patch notes, the official Fortnite Trello board is always something worth bookmarking to see upcoming changes that might be making their way to the servers. A notable fix worth mentioning is the general stability and game stability updates for PC, PS4, Xbox and Mobile devices which is always a welcome element for the game. Keep it here at EarlyGame as we continue to keep you updated on everything Fortnite and more.
