Fortnite's v17.50 update will kick off another Wild Week. This time, it's all about some Alien and IO tech loot. The game's playlist menu also got a facelift.
Fortnite - High Tech Hijinks Wild Week
Get ready for an Alien and IO tech extravaganza in Fortnite . Starting on Thursday, September 2 at 14:00 GMT, the otherworldly items will be all over the place and Abductors will only have the Kymera Ray Gun, Grab-itron, Prop-ifier, and Alien Nanites equipped. IO Chests will exclusively drop the Pulse Rifle, Rail Gun, Plasma Cannon, and Inflate-A-Bull. Normal Chests will follow suit and also drop Kymera Ray Gun, Pulse Rifle, and Rail Guns.
These weapons aren't dropping all around for no reason: the players will be able to take part in two Legendary Quest chains: one themed around dealing damage with Alien weapons and one with IO weapons.
High Tech Hijinks will be succeeded by one more Wild Week. More details will be shared soon.
