Update Jan. 29 at 3:43 am CT:<\/strong> The v7.30 patch notes are live<\/a>.<\/p>
Game developer Epic Games is ready to push live Fortnite\u2019s <\/em>7.30 game update, community coordinator Sean \u201cMrPopoTFS\u201d Hamilton revealed<\/a>. This will probably be the last huge game update of January, as Epic usually patches Fortnite<\/em> only on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
<\/p>
Chiller Grenade<\/h2> Epic will once again use Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> weekly update to add a new item to Battle Royale<\/em>. The company announced the addition of the Chiller Grenade<\/a> in the game\u2019s News tab today with the message “Give your enemies cold feet with this winter blast!”<\/p>
We are still not sure how the Chiller Grenade will work.<\/p>
The end of the Ice Storm event<\/h2>A countdown timer in Fortnite: Battle Royale<\/em> shows that the challenges from the Ice Storm event will be gone in less than 24 hours<\/a>. That means players will not only be unable to complete challenges and grab Ice Storm rewards, but will also see the replacement of the Ice Storm game modes for the standard ones. Zombies from the Ice Legion will probably be gone from the game.<\/p>
Several bug fixes<\/h2>Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> public <\/em>Community Issues board<\/a> shows at least 10 bug fixes will be pushed live with the v7.30 update. Among them are some very annoying issues like auto shooting with gamepads, X-4 Stormwing movement bugs after collisions, and several inconsistencies with ziplines.
<\/p>
Major leaks<\/h2>Update day is the favorite day of Fortnite: Battle Royale<\/em> dataminers and leakers. That\u2019s when Epic adds, removes, and edits game files with information about upcoming events and changes in the Fortnite<\/em> map. Since we\u2019re approaching the week nine of Battle Pass challenges and the end of season seven<\/a>, we\u2019re likely to see leaks of the special seasonal skin Snowfall<\/a>, as well as tips about what other map changes might lead to the end of season seven.<\/p>
