Fortnite Season 9: New Air Strike and Cattus Vs. Doggus event

Other changes in version 9.10 include the reduced availability of Shadow Bombs and Combat Shotgun, and the failure of the semi-automatic sniper rifle.

In Season 9, Week 4, Epic added a new burst SMG weapon that allows players to shoot fast four-ball bursts.

Epic has delayed the v9.20 update by one day and plans to release it on Thursday, June 6th. New in the update is a Throwable called Storm Flip. If you are thrown into an area where the storm is active, a safe area is created for players that can be of great benefit, as the players who are safe can easily catch opponents who fall into the storm while they suffer damage. On the other hand, those who use a storm flip in a safe area make a small storm when they throw, inflicting damage on players inside.

However, Storm Flip is said to cause problems towards the end of the game, so players can barely see which areas are safe and which are not. Epic games on Thursday have announced that the item will be deactivated during the World Cup this weekend and in Arena Mode.

Other changes in the version 9.20 update include changes to loot drops and vaulting of all hunter rifles.

The v9.21 update, released on June 12, features the new proximity grenade launcher that deals damage to enemies near the projectile.

The update also had changes to the weapon balance, especially the new Storm Flip item, which is now harder to find and does less damage.

Also included in version 9.21 was a new time-limited mode called Horde Rush. The new mode is a four-player co-op with its own challenges starting on June 13th.

The Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am competition took place on June 16, when 50 of the world's best Fortnite players joined forces to celebrate 50 celebrities. During the event, Epic played a trailer for a new Flare Gun item.

It's unclear what the Flare Gun does in the game or when it comes out.

The June 18th update v9.30 added a new healing item created to support a squad named Chug Splash. When used, the rare six-pack consumables create a splash that heals all the allies nearby.

As with any new update, data miners were fully engaged in checking each file for new items that could be added in a future update. They discovered assets for a new drum-gun variant called Drum Shotgun.

The drum weapon was a controversial weapon when it came out, as it was considered too powerful for matches. It was soon removed from the game or vaulted, but not domed during the eighth season Fortnite event. This new drum shotgun will be released in the coming weeks before Fortnite Season 9 comes to an end.

Epic released a content update for update 9.30 on Tuesday, June 25th. The patch marks the beginning of Fortnite 14 Days of Summer which dispose of a new weapon every day and offer new challenges and time-limited modes.

The weapons not used in this update include the Pump Shotgun, the Shockwave Grenade, the Suppressed SMG, the Revolver, the Tactical Shotgun, the Burst SMG, the SemiAuto Sniper Rifle, the FlintKnock Pistol, the Infantry Rifle, the Minigun, the Heavy Assault Rifle and the DrumGun. The rare tactical assault rifle, the impulse grenades, the rift-to-go and the pirate cannon were vaulted in the patch.

A second content patch for version 9.30 was released on July 2nd. It was a minor update that added a new weapon, the Drum Shotgun.

The drum shotgun has 12 clips and is available in common, rare and rare variants. What he lacks in power compared to other shotguns makes up for how fast he can shoot.

Fortnite v9.30 content update # 3 was released on Tuesday, July 9th. As with the previous content updates, a new item has been added, and the Air Strike is a throwing object where rockets must rain down on enemies.

Air Strike is a legendary throw object that emits a colored smoke that causes 20 missiles to strike randomly within a radius of nine meters. Players can find the new item in chests, storage containers, vending machines and store llamas.

Fortnite players should expect more content, modes, weapons, skins, and eventually hints for next season.

Hidden Secrets and Easter Eggs

Epic tends to add clues and Easter eggs on the island that indicate upcoming events or the next season. A less subtle example in the ninth Fortnite season is the addition of a building in Paradise Palms that is strikingly similar to the house from the John Wick films .

A data miner also discovered a number of challenges for a time-limited mode called Wick's Bounty (WAX). This event began on May 16, just before the third entry into the franchise, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum which opened in the cinemas.

To reinforce John Wick's fire, the Fortnite v9.01 update released a series of data miner films. The first is the new John Wick outfit with a secondary style called "Damaged".

Another data miner found in the v9.01 update more information on the time-limited Wick's Bounty mode. The new mode will have an infinite number of spawns and players will have to collect coins from other players that are most likely to fall when eliminated.

There is also a new skin called "Sofia", as Halle Berry's figure in John Wick is called: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The data miner found that the head is temporary and could change when the skin officially goes into operation in the future.

On Friday, June 28, Epic completed the John Wick set with the official release of the Sofia outfit. This time based on Halle Berry's look in the movie. Players can buy the new skin at the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,500 V buck or approximately $ 15.

Another subtle reference in Fortnite, Season 9, is a store front called Scoops Ahoy, the Ice Cream Parlor in Stranger Things . Chris Lee, director of interactive games at Netflix, said on June 12 on an E3 panel that the company had plans for a Stranger Things Crossover in the coming weeks. The third season of the Netflix series was released on July 4 in the second half of Fortnite Season 9.

Just in time for the premiere of the show, players saw the next step in the crossover "Fortnite Stranger Things" on Wednesday, July 3rd. Portals all over the island looked like they came from Upside Down.

There are several portals. When you enter one, the players are transported to another.

Just in time for the release of the third season of Stranger Things, Epic unveiled the crossover of Fortnite X Stranger Things on July 4th.

The crossover event included skins based on Chief Hopper and Demogorgon, available at the Fortnite Item. Shop for a limited time.

In the update for version 9.10 added to the game on May 22, players at Polar Peak found something strange. There is a block of ice that trembles as the wind comes out of the cracks. It almost looks like something is hidden inside. This could be the beginning of the event, which could mean the transition to Fortnite Season 10.

On May 28, Fortnite players visiting Polar Peak saw something new in the form of a giant eyeball. The scary eye tracks the player's movements in front of it.

On June 6th there was a big change on Polar Peak. The block of ice with a monster is broken and participates in the Ice Castle. Huge footprints can be seen as they move away towards the Viking village.

The Polar Peak monster is still moving, but this time in the water. The players have seen remnants of the castle, which were destroyed by the huge animal that swam in the waters around the island.

Another sign of destruction by the Polar Peak monster appeared on June 16. The players saw the modern house in Pleasant Park on a pile of rubble.

There's no reason or rhyme for where the Polar Peak monster will appear next, but it's likely to be the trigger for changes on Fortnite Island Season 10.

After the downtime for update 9.30 on June 18, Fortnite players have signed up with Snobby Shores and found something new: a large neon triangle.

With Fortnite Season 9 only weeks away, these strange additions to the island are usually signs of an upcoming event. The triangle is not nearly as big as the mysterious cube from 2018, but it could change very soon to end the season.

From 2 July, players at Pressure Plant saw something strange. It seems someone builds a giant robot that resembles the 'Mechs in the Gundam series. So far, only the feet and a part of a leg have been built.
