Epic Games has rolled out the latest Fortnite Ballistic update, v37.10, introducing new weapons, gameplay features, and major map changes. According to Fortnite's official website, the patch went live today and adds fresh content while also addressing player feedback and fixing bugs.
New weapon and gadget
The highlight of the update is the Veiled Precision SMG, a lightweight submachine gun built for accurate bursts in close-to-mid range fights. Epic says the weapon rewards precision over random spraying.
Also new is the Deployable Wall gadget, which creates instant cover on the battlefield. It can block enemy sightlines, give players space to reload, or even provide a temporary high ground advantage.
Map updates and improvements
The map Hammer Fall is now fully art-complete. Players can explore detailed castle interiors, stained glass, and scenic views, along with layout adjustments based on feedback.
