The Fortnite v15.20 update is expected this week. See what we’ll see when the update is released.
With the Operation Snowdown event ending last week, most players assumed that a new patch would come to Fortnite. As we learned, it never happened. We certainly won’t be going through another week without a Fortnite update, so we’re doubling down on an update that comes on January 12th.
Once again, we are writing this forecast ahead of any official announcement, but we are confident that we will see v15.20 coming up this week – if not tomorrow. Here’s what we hope to see included in this update.
Bug fixes
Each Fortnite update is accompanied by a list of bug fixes, and version 15.20 is no different. Here are all the bugs listed under “Fixed in the next game update” in the Trello Board of Fortnite community issues.
- Total bars can rarely appear as 0 in a match.
- Restarted players can see a completed Bounty.
- Total bars can rarely appear as 0 in a match.
- Visual edition of Michonne’s outfit with back cover.
Leaked Exotics
Now, we are entering the pure speculation part of the update. It’s been a while since the last update, which means that Epic may have some new content reserved for us.
Some exotic weapons have leaked, including a Run Gun SMG and a Freeze AR – a winter-themed assault rifle that gives opponents the effect of Chiller Traps.
It would seem reasonable for Epic to add one or both of these items in v15.20, but we won’t be sure.
A new bounty hunter
It’s been a few weeks since Epic added a crossover skin as part of the season’s Bounty Hunter theme.
We don’t know which hunter it would be, although there were rumors about Predator joining the team.
If we had to guess, we would say that data miners will find the next bounty hunter in the game’s archives and release this information to the public before the change in the Item Shop.
We will probably see some unpredictable additions to Fortnite when version 15.20 is released as well. For all of them, stay tuned for our review, coverage and more.
