Fortnite update 41.30 is live on all platforms, and for console gamers, this will show up as download 1.000.226.

Players can expect a slew of gameplay fixes and improvements for Battle Royale, and there is a lot of stuff tucked away in the data for Season 4, which is also viewable thanks to datamining.

There’s a lot to take in, so read on for what’s new in Fortnite for today.

Fortnite Update 41.30 Act 3: Battle Royale Notes

Aim high! Buildings, trees and player-built structures will help you build up speed and cover ground more quickly. Obtain a pair from Spider-Man himself for 2,000 Gold at The Battlewoods point of interest, or loot them from Spider-Man’s Backpacks found all over the Island:

• You won’t take fall damage while swinging

• If you come in low, you’ll run along the ground and maintain momentum

• Great for outrunning the Storm

• Shoot at floor loot to pull the items to you on the go

PSA: Spider-Man’s Web Shooters are available in non-competitive play.

• UNVAULTED: Spire Rifle (Common to Epic)

• VAULTED: Business Turret, Chaos Exploder Rifle (Uncommon & Rare)

Two new Sprites are on the loose!

Lootin’ Llama Sprite: Opening Ammo Boxes has a chance to upgrade your weapon

Peeky Peely Sprite: Marks nearby rare Sprite variants or enemies carrying them. Be ready though, it reveals your location too!

You can also discover new variants of these Sprites:

• Zero Point Sprite: Holofoil and Cube

New Mastery Progression Unlocks

Progress through Part 4 of Sprite Mastery and unlock the new Quack Sprite variant, Umbrella Glider and the new Lucky Locator Gizmo.

• Quack Sprite: Whenever your Quack Sprite gains progress, every other Sprite you’re carrying in your match inventory also gains an extra 50% of that progress. Share the love!

If you’ve been chasing that elusive Sprite for a while, you’re in luck. The Lucky Locator Gizmo guarantees a Chest containing a Sprite you haven’t collected yet. You can earn one through the Sprite Mastery progression track, with more Lucky Locators on the way.

All Gizmos earned during Chapter 7 Season 3 will expire when the Season ends. You can see exactly when by checking the expiration timer on the Battle Royale mode selection screen or the Gizmo Wheel during a match, so use them or lose them!
