Will Fortnite return to the pace of Chapter 1 in terms of what's new? We can assume so, given the new content from Patch 13.20. With this update — which brings together two versions of the game (13.10 and 13.20) — the editor has given dataminers around the world something to think about.
This week we have new weapons to add to our arsenal, and we can expect a massive return of LTM.
New Weapon: Flare Gun
The Flare Gun should warm up our Fortnite games very soon. The weapon arrived on the servers via v13.20.
Deployable Workbench
Weapon upgrade and transformation features have been around for a long time on the battle royale. Now you can do it all wherever you want, with a new item: the Deployable Workbench.
Loot dropped by Marauders
Acting in organized squads, Marauders are NPCs who appear on the island in Chapter 2 Season 3 and drop equipment when they die. It will become interesting to attack these armed groups because the drop rates were largely buffered via Patch 13.20:
- Light ammunition dropped: 18 -> 54
- Intermediate ammunition dropped: 10 -> 30
- Sniper balls dropped: 6- > 18
- Shotgun bullets: 4 -> 12
- Chances that the Marauder drops 5 bandage: 25% -> 50%
- Chances that the Marauder drops 3 "Stinking": 25% -> 50%
- Chances that the Marauder drops a Health Kit: 60% -> 20%
- Chances that the Marauder drops 2 can packs: 20% -> 50%
- Chances that the Marauder drops 3 Firefly jars: 20% -> 30%
Gradual drop in water level
The receding water was expected on July 1st, but as soon as Patch 13.20 was implemented, the water dropped a few meters on the map. We can expect a very gradual drop in water level in the coming days, or in stages, update after update.
Bug fixes
- Missing styles for the Specialist Pickaxe and Arroyo Pack Back Bling.
- Rage Emote fire effect remaining on/near players.
- Emotes playing over Main Stage music in Party Royale.
- Sandstorm Outfit missing hair.
- Fall damage from Ziplines when landing in shallow water.
- Epic & Legendary SMGs sometimes cannot be Sidegraded.
- Damaging Marauders counting towards Storm Surge.
- Chug Splash does not heal when thrown inside of a bush.
- Supply Drops may sometimes push loot under the map.
Epic Games hasn't released a full official patch note for v13.20. We're doing our best to collect the news and summarize it for you in this article.

Epic Games has chosen to remove the Save the World mode from early access, and to slow down its development. Saddened by the news of this implicit abandonment, the community immediately reacted on Twitter with the hashtag #SaveSaveTheWorld.
