Under tisdagen rullade Epic Games ut en ny uppdatering för Fortnite, en så kallad "Content Update". För Battle Royale innebär detta bland annat ett nytt stealth-verktyg under namnet "Sneaky Snowman". Snömannen fungerar precis som buskarna gjort i tidigare versioner av spelet, det vill säga att du "klär dig" i snömannen och vid stillastående position ser man inte motståndarna att det är en spelare som gömmer sig under den. Snömannen gör dock att spelaren varken kan bygga eller skjuta.
Utöver detta har "The Block" fått ett nytt utseende. Nu fyller en pyramid området, en massiv struktur skapad av Directingpete. Sniper Shootout tar rollen som patchens limited time mode (LTM) och flera justeringar har gjorts för diverse vapen. Grappler, Port-A-Fortress samt Quad Rocket Launcher har alla tagits ur spelet och placerats i "the vault". Epic Games har även fixat ett problem som gjorde att byggnader gjorde att spelare fick större FPS-drops, det vill säga att inga sådana problem ska ske efter uppdateringen.
The Block is now a Pyramid! Drop into this massive structure created by Directingpete to discover the secrets it holds inside.
