Epic Games has released patch Notes for Fortnite v9.00, which includes details on Fortnite Season 9 and its new locations, features and more.
Fortnite’s Season 9 battle pass is available now for 950 v-bucks ($9.50) and includes 100 levels and over 100 new rewards. New points of interest that have emerged from the destruction of the Volcano include Neo Tilted and Mega Mall. A semi-automatic Combat Shotgun has been added that holds 10 shells, fires nine pellets per shot, and has a tight spread and fast fire rate.
One of the biggest new features from v9.00 are Slipstreams, a wind transportation system consisting of wind tunnels that quickly carry players. Players move faster in the stream, and can use directional input to gain extra velocity, which includes bobbing up and down to increase speeds. Players are then launched out of the stream when exiting based on their movement speed and exit angle, and projectiles and vehicles can also enter the Slipstream. In addition to this, air vents are new environmental items that launch players and grant immunity to fall damage.
