Fortnite patch notes 10.20 update: Zapper Trap, Floating Island returns and lots more


UPDATE: Fortnite developer Epic Games has disabled the newly released Zapper Traps in Battle Royale.

According to a post on Twitter, some players are being kicked from matches. To combat the issue, Epic has temporarily removed the new item.

“As we investigate the issue kicking players from matches, we have temporarily disabled the Zapper Trap,” reads an Epic post. “We will provide an update when the Zapper Trap is re-enabled.”

ORIGINAL: Fortnite update 10.20 has gone live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch.

And the good news is that because this is just a content update, update 10.20 doesn’t require any downtime.

According to the patch notes, the latest Fortnite update introduces the Zapper Trap.

As you can see from the trailer below, the thrown consumable deploys a damaging electrical trap on both side of a building piece. 

The traps deal 50 damage by shocking enemy players who are within a tile of their face.

Elsewhere, the Floating Island has returned to Fortnite Battle Royale with update 10.20. It can be found slowly making its way across the map, and can be accessed via a low-gravity vortex.
