Fortnite patch v6.22 change list

Fortnite’s latest patch has arrived and its got a few big additions, but not many small changes to go along with them.

The big new item in this latest patch, v6.22, is the heavy assault rifle, which shoots a little slower than the other rifles in the game, but does significantly more damage. Balloons will also be significantly more rare now, and the storm is going back to its lower max damage in the late game of eight rather than 10. There’s also a new big team game mode that focuses on the Cube Monster NPCs that were added to the game during the Fortnitemares Halloween event.

While all these changes are fairly significant on their own, its a new cosmetic feature that’s likely to be the most exciting thing in this patch for most players. Starting on Nov. 9, players can wear the uniforms of their favorite NFL team in-game, complete with customizable numbers.
