Fortnite has dropped its latest weekly update, and it’s a fairly substantial one, particularly if you’re a Save the World player. On the Battle Royale front, we’re getting the Food Fight Limited-Time Mode and a new mounted turret weapon. Meanwhile, Save the World is getting a full front end revamp, with the game’s menus now represented as a “Homebase” staffed by various characters you meet throughout your campaign. Looks like Epic may be gussying up STW in anticipation of its full free-to-play launch in 2019.

　　Here are your notes for Fortnite patch 6.30:

　　Battle Royale

　　Limited Time Mode: Food Fight

　　Summary

　　The battle of Durrr Burger versus Pizza Pit has begun. Two teams on either side of the map. A huge barrier runs down the middle. Build a fort to protect your restaurant mascot. When the Barrier lowers, destroy the enemy's mascot to win the match!

　　An impassable barrier will be spawned along the center of the map for the first several minutes.Each team will have an under-construction restaurant near the center of the map. Inside is a giant mascot head representing that team.If the mascot head is destroyed, that team loses the match.Teams should use the time that the barrier is up to construct a defensive fortress around their restaurant.As soon as the barrier lowers... fight to take out the enemy mascot before they destroy yours!Special red Supply Drops spawn at the start of the match. These hold a handful of weapons, ammo, consumables, traps and a few hundred metal building materials.Players will respawn after 7 seconds when eliminated, keeping their inventory.Eliminated players spawn a percentage of their ammo upon elimination, as well as 30/30/60 wood/stone/metal materials.100% extra resources are gained from gathering.Building resources found on the ground increased from 20 to 50 per instance.No explosive weapons or items are in this mode.Weapons + Items
