Fortnite Patch Notes For New Update 6.02: Disco Domination, Quad Launcher, And More

Get down on it, and defend the point.

3 Comments

Epic Games has launched patch 6.02 for Fortnite on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The update introduces a funky new Limited-Time Mode centered around dancing and a powerful weapon for Battle Royale, while Save The World gets a special new weapon too. [Update: Epic has deployed a hotfix update for Disco Domination mode, increasing the score teams need to meet to win and decreasing the rate at which the storm circle closes in on the island.]

The new Limited-Time Mode for Battle Royale is Disco Domination, which was recently teased in-game. This mode is effectively King is the Hill; players are divided into two teams of 32 and will need to capture specific points--in this case, dance floors--by dancing on them and defending them from enemies. The more friendly players dancing on a floor, the faster it will be captured.

Once your team manages to capture a floor, it will begin filling your team's "dance bar" until either an enemy interrupts or the current storm timer elapses and the storm starts moving. The first team able to fill their dance bar to 100% will be the winner. You can find more details on the mode in the patch notes below.

The new Quad Rocket Launcher, meanwhile, fires four rockets in quick succession. It is available in Epic and Legendary variants, details of which you can also find in the full patch notes below, courtesy of Epic. Along with the full patch notes for the Battle Royale changes, there's a video of the Quad Launcher in action. Head to the Fortnite website to see what's new with Save The World.

Meanwhile, Epic has launched Fortnite for Android to all users, so you no longer need a beta invite in order to download it. Week 3 challenges are also now live, the most complex of which involves completing timed trials scattered around the map.

Limited Time Mode: Disco Domination

Summary

It's time for the ultimate dance-off. Dance Floors have spawned around the Battle Royale island. Take them over by clearing out any enemies and then dancing to raise a disco ball up from the floor. The team that fills their meter the fastest by capturing and defending the dance floors will win the match!

Mode Details

  • Two teams of fifty players.
  • Respawning will be turned on until the third (last) storm circle.
  • Five dance floors will appear on the map whenever the storm is not moving.
  • Emoting on a dance floor when no enemies are present will raise a disco ball in the center of the floor, and capture it for your team.
    • The more friendly players dancing on a floor, the faster it will be captured.
  • Once a floor is captured, it will begin filling the team's "dance bar" on the HUD, until either an enemy stands on it or the current storm timer ends and the storm begins to move. The first team to fill their dance bar to 100% will win the match.
  • The dance floors in the later stages of the match fill the bar more quickly, so don't give up if your team is behind!
  • It is not possible to build on or over the dance floors, but they can be protected by surrounding them with a fort.
  • Glider redeploy is activated in this mode, press jump while falling to use your glider.
  • This mode uses 50v50 levels of loot and resources.

​​​​Gameplay

Bug Fixes

  • Removed a change that was inadvertently introduced in v6.01 which caused Bonesy to bark more than was intended.
  • Fixed an issue that caused moving circles to be closer to the previous safezone than intended.

Performance

  • Fixed some hitches on Switch caused by blocking loads of UI data.
  • Increased the texture pool size on Xbox One, which should avoid some issues with blurry textures and improve rendering performance.

Art + Animation

  • Skull Trooper styles have a visual issue when viewing the Outfit from the Locker.
    • The Outfit still appears properly in-game.
    • This issue will be fixed next patch.
