We may be in the midst of E3 2019, but that hasn`t stopped Epic from rolling out another update for Fortnite. Patch 9.21 is now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices, and it introduces another new weapon to the popular battle royale game, as well as a new pair of limited-time modes. Here`s what it does along with the full patch notes.This week`s new weapon is the Proximity Grenade Launcher, which fires an `arcing, bouncing, explosive projectile` that will detonate when near another player. The gun comes in Epic and Legendary varieties and can be found in chests, supply drops, vending machines, or from Loot Carriers. It also uses rocket ammo and can hold two rounds.In addition to the Proximity Grenade Launcher, Epic has made some balance tweaks to an assortment of existing weapons and items in the game. The Storm Flip, which was added as part of last week`s update, now deals flat damage rather than being based on the current storm phase, Epic has decreased the availability of the Mounted Turret and common variants of the Heavy Assault Rifle.Beyond that, the developer is adding two new limited-time modes to the rotation this week. The first is the low gravity One Shot Duos mode. Here, all players have only 50 health, the only weapons that will spawn are snipers, and the only available healing items are bandages. The second mode, Horde Rush, drops four-player squads on the island and has them defending areas against waves of Fortnite Fiends.You can see all of the changes for Fortnite: Battle Royale below. This week`s update has also added some new items to Fortnite Creative and Save the World; the full patch notes for those can be found on Epic`s website.Fortnite: Battle Royale Update 9.21 Patch NotesLimited-Time Mode RotationOne Shot DuosLow Gravity.
