Fortnite June Hotfix Highlights

Here are all the highlights from the recent Fortnite Hotfix in June 2024:

Item Changes:

  • Assault Rifles: The Warforged Assault Rifle has been vaulted and replaced by the Combat Assault Rifle, which is a fan favorite. It has a heavy recoil, making it more effective up close.
  • Tow Hook Cannon: Its spawn rate has been reduced as it has appeared too frequently since its introduction.
  • Nitro Fists: Though not officially noted, players have noticed a reduction in Nitro Fists spawns. The Mythic variant is still available but less common. This might be a temporary bug. Meanwhile, the Metallica Guitar Mythic can be used.

Metallica Crossover:

The first significant update of Chapter 5 Season 3 includes several major improvements and the new Fortnite X Metallica crossover. 

Metallica Loot Island

Revamped Loot Island: As part of the Metallica crossover, Loot Island has been redesigned and now includes the new Metallica Mythic, the Guitar. The Ride the Lightning Guitar adds unique gameplay elements.
