16.20 Update Is Live

We're still waiting for the downtime to end, but the 16.20 update is about to be live in Fortnite.

In the 16.20 update, we'll get a variety of new items, many of which have been revealed before downtime ends.

The downtime for the the 16.20 update is going to be longer than usual, taking Fortnite servers offline starting at 2am EST, and likely lasting to around 9am EST.

While Epic Games doesn't typically release full patch notes anymore - a new set of early patch notes give us an idea of what's coming.

Also, @Hypex on Twitter has released images of some of the new content, such as skins and bows.

Here are all of the skins bundles coming as part of the update.

Also, below you can see what to expect from the two new bows in the game.

Finally, you'll also get a new Boss Recycler and an Odd-Road Tires Mod for vehicles.

Relic Styles

Level 100 is not the end of the Battle Pass this season, instead there are unlockable styles to unlock all the way to level 225.

In a recent post, Epic Games revealed the details of when each style can be unlocked.

CHROMIUM STYLES

Spire-inspired, Chromium Styles are made of the metal that compose Season 6’s central monument.

• Chromium Tarana: Level 110
• Chromium Raz: Level 130
• Chromium Spire Assassin: Level 150

RUNIC STYLES

From new fissures in the metal, Runic Styles emit a purple light representing The Spire’s energy.

• Runic Tarana: Level 160
• Runic Raz: Level 180
• Runic Spire Assassin: Level 200

GOLDEN STYLES

The purple light remains in Golden Styles, but the metal has transformed into brilliant gold. A blessing from The Spire.

• Golden Tarana: Level 205
• Golden Raz: Level 215
• Golden Spire Assassin: Level 225

Vaulted Shop

Recently, Epic Games has added the Vaulted Shop to the game.

This is part of the Item Shop for cosmetics that haven't been in the Item Shop for at least one year.

It is unclear whether this will be a permanent feature or whether it will rotate out with the 16.20 update.

Primal Shotgun Nerf

With a recent update we saw the nerf of the Primal Shotgun, along with the inclusion of The Recycler.

Here are the new stats for the Primal Shotgun.
