The Fortnite patch notes were revealed in a post on the Epic Games website.

Introducing it they said: “Mind your step, eligible Traps can now be placed on ramps in both Battle Royale and Save the World.

“The Thermal Scope Assault Rifle also makes its debut in Battle Royale, so be careful where you hide. Fight alongside a mysterious new mythic hero in the next installment of the Blockbuster quadrilogy, Blockbuster Part 3: The Cloaked Star.”
