Epic Games is yet to release the official Fortnite Update 16.30 Patch Notes. However, we do know what players can expect as Fortnite regularly teases content of the upcoming season through tweets on their Fortnite Status Twitter handle.
According to a tweet posted on the Fortnite Status account, the 16.30 Fortnite Update will require players to Jonesy The First take on Raz. This activity may be a part of the Spire Quests that are being featured every two weeks on a Tuesday.
The new update will also bring with it an “Unpredictable Exotic Bow” that hits players with a glitch effect according to leaks curated by data miners. The remaining Primal weapons, Makeshift weapons, and Bows will be added to Creative mode in the upcoming Fortnite 16.30 update.
The update will also witness the arrival of a new limited-time mode called The Floor Restores. The upcoming LTM is a reference to the Floor is Lava modes that are becoming pretty popular.
The upcoming update will also introduce quality-of-life changes to the crafting menu. The fixes will enable players to transition smoothly to the crafting menu. This will help avoid distractions by keeping players out of the menu when they need to focus on the enemies.
