If you thought the major changes to Fortnite’s gameplay were over – sorry to burst your bubble, but there’s more on the way. Balloons, to be precise.
Thanks to the details provided in today’s patch notes, we now know exactly how these items work. Unsurprisingly, players can use these items to float above the competition – but they only last for a limited time at max build height.
You get 20 balloons when you pick up the item, and players can deploy up to six at a time when floating. Players have the ability to let go of balloons when in mid-air, which I suppose you can use to control your height. Start worrying when you get down to two.
