Solid Snake is Unboxed in Fortnite Battle Royale v28.10

Posted by The Fortnite Team on

Unrivaled in covert ops, few are more qualified to infiltrate The Society’s bases than Solid Snake. Complete Snake’s Big Bang Battle Pass Quests now to unlock the Solid Snake Outfit and accessories!

Don’t just battle as Snake, battle like him with stealth camouflage and a box for reconnaissance… EMP Stealth Camo and Cardboard Boxes await you on the Battle Royale Island! He who controls the battlefield, controls history.

Sneaking and Concealing: EMP Stealth Camo + Cardboard Boxes

A device capable of rendering the user virtually invisible for a short time, become a master of stealth with the EMP Stealth Camo. Even though this device has a cooldown, it has unlimited uses to help make obscuring a long-term strategy! You can’t attack while the EMP Stealth Camo is active, but you can disable it early by unequipping it, swapping to another item in your inventory, or simply deactivating it. 
 
Upon disabling the device, you’ll unleash an EMP effect, damaging enemy Shields and bringing nearby vehicles to a stop! Find EMP Stealth Camos from the ground, Chests, or if you have the Bars, from Snake himself.
 

 
A bunch of emptied citrus boxes were found in a Ship It! Express warehouse. Now scattered throughout the Island, they may be of use to special forces operatives trying to conceal themselves… Hide in a Cardboard Box to blend in with the environment! You don’t have to sit still in a Cardboard Box, so try using it to advance secretly. Cardboard Boxes can be found from the ground, Chests, or for sale from Snake in exchange for Bars.
 


Snake! Snaaaake!!

Found him! The Solid Snake Outfit is unlockable now in the Big Bang Battle Pass. Complete the Solid Snake Battle Pass Quests to unlock his Outfit and accessories.

Balance Changes

We’ve been closely monitoring Battle Royale gameplay data and community feedback and agreed that some balance adjustments needed to be made. Please see below for a list of balance changes that are included in the v28.10 update:

  • The Enforcer AR has received a slight increase in bullet speed, damage, and headshot damage (and a reduction in bullet drop). This AR was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options.

  • The Reaper Sniper Rifle has received a slight reduction in bullet speed (and an increase in bullet drop), as many Reaper snipes were too easy to land with little counterplay.

  • The Hyper SMG has received an increase in overall accuracy via tightened bullet spread. Like the Enforcer AR, this SMG was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options.

  • The Ballistic Shield has received a slight decrease in damage required to stagger the holder. This loadout option was often too powerful compared to others, especially in Zero Build.

  • Storm circle speed, sprint speed, and Energy regeneration have been reverted to match the same speed from Chapter 4. These reverted speeds better fit the current ideal pace of Fortnite BR.

 
We’ll continue to monitor gameplay data alongside community feedback and make future balance adjustments if necessary.


Competitive Notes

  • The EMP Stealth Camo, Cardboard Boxes, and Anvil Rocket Launcher are not included in tournaments.

  • The Fortnite Championship Series 2024 begins soon! Check out our FNCS 2024 Details blog post for more info.


Major Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where players could sometimes be randomly eliminated in Snooty Steppes while walking along the cliffside.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause your crosshair to flick in another direction while you were sliding and aiming down sights with a scoped Sniper Rifle.

  • Fixed an issue where using the same Emote as a nearby player could result in you facing the wrong direction.
