The Fortnite update 4.4 patch notes have just been uncovered by Epic Games. This week’s update offers diverse bug fixes and other improvements for PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS and Nintendo Switch versions of the insanely popular multiplayer game. This time around, Stink Bombs are on their way to Battle Royale. It’s a weapon that creates a “stinky cloud that deals 5 damage every half-second within the cloud.” The latest Fortnite patch notes indicate other awesome features as well.
There’s also a cool addition for ‘Save the World’ fans, who are now getting a new 8-Bit Demo Constructor Demolitionist. The Final Fight Limited Time mode is another feature that’s been added.
