UPDATED STORY 22/5/18: Fortnite’s jetpacks are finally here and players are already having oodles of high altitude fun with the new limited-time additions.
However, if you’ve not yet had chance to download Fortnite’s new 4.2 update, which released earlier today, there are a few things you might like to know in preparation for your Battle Royale adventures in mid-air propulsion.
Firstly, jetpacks are Legendary drops found in treasure chests, and are an entirely new kind of item, known as backpacks. All backpacks are held in your inventory and can be equipped in the new backpack slot – unsurprisingly, you’re only able to carry and equip one backpack at a time, and, when equipped, they’ll take the place of your current back bling.
