We can expect some new weapons once again with the release of V13.30, but it is unclear what Epic is going to release.
Vehicles
We know land based vehicles are coming with the 13.30 update.
DRIFT - We hope the drifting mechanic will return from the Golf Buggies!
This means at the launch of the update, we'll be able to get our hands on the new cars, trucks and more!
There will be 4 different classes of vehicle, these being Trucks and Large/Medium/Small cars.
These Cars will have customisation with paint jobs and skins, similar to every other vehicle and weapon in the game.

These vehicles were first hinted at, at the start of Season 3 and will be a welcome addition to the game.
New Locations
As the water continues to drop after the massive flood event, old locations are being uncovered.
This will give players more landing spots in-game modes like Arena, making the start of the match, less hectic.

We know Craggy Cliffs is becoming more accessible, so maybe one of the next viable landing spots.
We'll have to wait and see which location will be uncovered in this update.
Bug Fixes
Similar to every update, Epic will be removing and update some glitches found within the last few weeks.
COMBAT - Will the Combat Shotgun return?
These bugs can ruin the immersion of the game, and sometimes cause you to die.

We've seen issues with the Whirlpools and Supply Drops at some locations, so it's likely these will be fixed in this update.
Leaks
Do not fear, when the downtime goes live for the new season we can expect a flurry of leaks from data miners!
Be sure to stay up to date on social media with all the leaks for patch V13.30!
