It’s an off week for Fortnite patches, but patch v5.21 is a little more than the normal content updates we’re used to. While these weeks between big patches are normally reserved for simply adding one weapon or a new game mode, patch v5.21 does a little bit of everything.

While this patch is coming in with more changes than normal, none of them are too surprising. In fact, its main addition was to fix a gap in what was already in the game. The new heavy sniper rifle fills in the need for a high-end weapon in the sniper category as well as a ranged building destroyer. Meanwhile, the new mode offers an entirely fresh addition to the game with a glider infused twist on the traditional 50v50 mode.
