Fortnite V4.4 update explains stink bomb damage, nerfs rocket launchers, and adds a new LTM: Final Fight Teams of 20

The Fortnite V4.4 update pat🔥ch notes are here, and there are big changes on the way with details on the stink bomb, and a nerf for rocket launcher reloads and ammo. There's also a new 8-bit skin and a new Teams of 20 LTM mode, Final Fight, which replaces the circles with a timer. 

Fortnite stink bomb rarity, duration and damage explained

The Fortnite stink bomb is finally here and it's an interesting one, creating a "stinky cloud" that inflicts 5 damage a second, for 9 seconds. That is going to be interesting wh🃏en used against forts. 

  • Stink Bomb added.

  • Creates a stinky cloud that deals 5 damage every half-second within the cloud.

  • 9-second duration.

  • Epic rarity.

  • Can be found from floor loot, chests, and Vending Machines.

  • Loot in stacks of 3 with a maximum stack of 5.

Fortnite rocket launcher reloads and ammo nerfed

Fortnite is🍨 drastically reducing rocket launcher ammo and extending reloads. This potentially could have a big impact on the end game, which often descends into rocket spam from players with tens of rockets.

These are the new stats: 

  • Increased the reload time of the Rocket Launcher based on rarity:
  • Rare from 2.3 seconds to 2.8.

  • Epic from 2.185 seconds to 2.66.

  • Legendary from 2.07 to 2.52.

  • The maximum number of unloaded Rocket Ammo that can be held has been changed to 12.

It means players might have to actually leave their forts 🌠in the final circle and fight each other direc💎tly, instead of lighting the sky up with a million rockets. 

New LTM - Final Fight: Teams of 20

There'🎶s a new Fortnite Limited Time Mode that aꦫdds a countdown and decides who wins on player count. In the new Fortnite Final Fight mode you only get three storm circles but the last one triggers a countdown. The team with the most players left when it hits zero wins. 

Here's more on how that works: 

  • Final Fight plays similar to standard Battle Royale, but instead of the Storm circles closing all the way, the Storm stops after the 3rd circle.
  • When the circles have finished closing in, the final countdown timer will begin.
  • The remaining teams will battle it out until the timer expires.
  • The team with the most players remaining at the end of the timer wins!
  • In the event of a tie, the two (or more) teams tied for the lead win the match.

New Fortnite skin: 8-Bit Demo

Not a lot to add here. Just a new skin called 8-Bit demo, with some retro de๊tails and a nice pixelated backpack.
