Fortnite Update v25.11 Patch Notes: Elder Scrolls Online Collaboration, Sharp Tooth Shotgun, Explosive Repeater Rifle, and More.
The Fortnite community is buzzing with excitement as the update v25.11 brings a plethora of new content and changes to the game. While the highly anticipated Summer Escape Event is yet to go live, players can enjoy the supporting content that has been added in the meantime. This update introduces a collaboration with Elder Scrolls Online, two new weapons, upgrades to Slap Juice, and much more. Let’s dive into the details of this exciting update.
Elder Scrolls Online Collaboration
Epic Games has collaborated with Bethesda in the past to bring Doom content to Fortnite, so it comes as no surprise that they are now partnering with Elder Scrolls Online. The collaboration will introduce a new cosmetic set to the game, including an Outfit, Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Wrap. While there is no confirmed release date for this collaboration, players can expect to see these items in the Item Shop once it goes live. The timing of this crossover is perfect, considering the jungle biome that exists on the Fortnite island.
Sharp Tooth Shotgun and Explosive Repeater Rifle
The update also adds two new weapons to the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 loot pool. The first weapon is the Sharp Tooth Shotgun, which functions similarly to the OG Pump Shotgun but with a few differences. While it is primarily a close-range weapon, it allows players to engage in combat at a considerable distance.
The second weapon is the Explosive Repeater Rifle, which lives up to its name. With five bullets in the magazine, this rifle is perfect for taking down opponents at mid-range. However, players need to be mindful of its low rate-of-fire when facing opponents with automatic weapons. It’s worth noting that the Heavy Sniper Rifle will be vaulted in this update, but the Explosive Repeater Rifle will likely make use of Heavy ammo.
New Reality Augments
Fortnite is introducing six new Reality Augments in this update, providing players with tactical bonuses and mobility perks. These augments enhance different aspects of gameplay and include the following:
- Shrub Mud: Become covered in Mud when in Big Bushes, Leaf Piles, and Tall Grass.
- Heavy Headshots: Weapons using Heavy ammo have increased headshot damage.
- Heavy Ammo Acquired: Instantly gain Heavy ammo and additional Heavy ammo when opening containers.
- Thermal Mud: Gain thermal vision while covered in Mud.
- Splash Party: Receive Slap Splashes.
- Roaming Redeploy: Gain Glider Redeploy whenever you gain immunity to fall damage, such as exiting Vines, Rails, Ziplines, or when using Hop Plants.
Opal, Chaos Explorer, and Razor Rae Outfits (Summer Skins)
Leakers and data-miners have given us a sneak peek at the upcoming Outfits for the Summer Escape event. Opal, Chaos Explorer, and Razor Rae will be available in the Item Shop as normal cosmetic bundles. In addition, Court Queen Krisa will be a real-money bundle that grants users V-Bucks upon completing in-game challenges. Lastly, Breezeabelle is expected to be the Fortnite Crew Outfit for July 2023.
Slap Splash
Following the success of Slap Juice in Fortnite Chapter 4, Epic Games is introducing a new version called Slap Splash. This item functions similarly to Chug Splash and affects everyone within a small radius when used. It remains to be seen if players will embrace this new item or continue to rely on Slap Juice for personal use.
In conclusion, the Fortnite update v25.11 brings an array of exciting additions and changes to the game. From the collaboration with Elder Scrolls Online to the introduction of new weapons, players have plenty to look forward to. The Reality Augments offer tactical advantages, while the upcoming Summer Skins add a fresh look to the game. With the removal of the Heavy Sniper Rifle and the introduction of Slap Splash, the Fortnite meta is set to undergo some interesting shifts. Stay tuned for the Summer Escape Event and make the most of this content-packed update.
