Epic Games shared the details of Fortnite Ballistic v34.20 update releasing today, March 25. This update includes weapon balance changes, economy adjustments, and a significant number of fixes. But first, let’s get a sneak preview of Ballistic’s first new map since launch: Hammer Fall!
Fortnite Ballistic v34.20 Update: Introducing Hammer Fall
Rising from the waters below, the spires and tight lanes of Hammer Fall bring a certain medieval flavor to the table. The castle’s verticality sets it apart from Skyline 10, and you’ll find there’s lots of comfortable cover, angles to hold, and corners to play. Hammer Fall will be a shell map at first.
As developers shared in the last update, this means the map will arrive in Ballistic without environmental art. This will allow us to quickly make changes to the map layout based on your feedback. Get ready to get the (hammer) drop on opponents — Hammer Fall will release on April 8 with v34.30!
