Fortnite update today: List of anticipated changes coming to the game
1) Steamy Stack damaged
Steam Stacks will soon be damaged, and while leakers are of the opinion that these changes will occur following the Fortnite 18.10 update, the only problem is that no one seems to know when or how.
As of now the only plausible explanation is that the Queen Cube will perhaps have something to do with it. However, given that it's still very far away from the location, it doesn't seem quite likely. Players will have to wait and see what comes of this.
2) XP rework
After a massive backlash from the community, content creators, and leakers alike, Epic Games promised to take a look at the XP system and make a variety of improvements. Players should expect a follow-up from the developers after the Fortnite update today.
3) More Toona Fish styles
Toona Fish is now immensely popular in-game. For players that have collected all the color bottles and enough rainbow ink to last a lifetime, there's some good news on the horizon: 20 new Toona Fish styles are due to be added to the game following the Fortnite update today.
In addition to the new styles, the 21st style, which leakers are speculating to be the "Queen Style" will be added later to the game following the v18.30 update. As of now there is no further information.
4) Combat AR & SMG
Although it's still a longshot, many leakers are under the impression that the Combat AR & SMG may get added to the game following the Fortnite update today.
However, given that this is the first major update of the season, the developers may ration out the new weapons as was done in the previous season. Adding every weapon to the game right at the start may prove to be overwhelming for many players.
5) Spicy Splashes
It can be said with certainty that after today's Fortnite update, Spicy Splashes will be added to the game. Epic Games themselves have hinted at this possibility in their Twitter post. The item will restore players' HP and shields, alongside giving them a speed boost for a short duration.
Note: The content of this article is based on leaks that are subject to change at the discretion of Epic Games.
