Fortnite has now received the new “Air Strike” update aka Update 9.3.0 that introduces a canister blowing smoke that signals for new missiles from above. This update should now already be live globally. This is part of a new content update to Fortnite.
In fact the air strike element calls for actual air strikes to happen. These also look unique in-game. Apart from this update, there is the night-time fighting that can be resorted to via silenced weapons.
Then, there are other updates such as Classic Squads, Catch Squads, and Blitz Squads – all of which should enhance gameplay.
Vital patch notes:
- A thrown canister of coloured smoke that calls in a flurry of missiles from above.
- Once the canister comes to rest, missiles will spawn after a short delay.
- Missiles spawn about 120 meters above the smoke canister.
- Missiles aim for random points within a 9 meters radius of the thrown object.
- A total of 20 missiles are spawned.
- Each missile has an explosion radius of 3.5 meters.
- Each missile deals 75 damage to players and 200 damage to structures.
- Can be found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, Vending Machines, and Llamas.
- Drops in stacks of 1.
- Max stack size of 2.
- Legendary variant.
Here, Fortnite players should remember that there is no downtime for Google Android, Apple iOS, and Nintendo Switch devices. For full patch notes, click here.
