A new Fortnite update is here and brings with it a new Limited Time Mode rotation and an explosive new way to take out enemy players with the addition of Air Strikes. The latest Fortnite update is live now and though shorter than usual, definitely packs a punch.
You can check out the new Air Strike item in the video above with a breakdown below, courtesy of Epic Games:
