Fornite Season 8 was released to the game on February 28, 2019, with a new location, skins, battle pass, and in game items. After the Season 8 update, the community, including myself, wait for the next weekly update that brings in new items to the game. The update should’ve come today, but since Epic Games did not announce that there will be any new update for today. The community suspects that the update will be announced later today, and that the update will come tomorrow.
The downtime for the game usually starts at 4 a.m. ET and lasts for about 2 hours. This patch will have maybe less of a downtime, since this update will probably be a small one. I, personally, don’t mind the downtime, since it starts a 4 a.m. The patch notes has had already some leaks for new items that will most likely come into the game.
The first item is called the “Buried Treasure Map”. Instead of it being a gun, it’s a map, which can possibly lead to some high tier loot, according to some theories. Honestly, I think that it is just like a Supply Drop.
This next image is theorized to be the Epic and Legendary versions of the Infantry rifle, as found by Stormshield One in the files of the earlier patch notes. I really don’t like the Infantry Rifle, so this will not make a difference to me because im probably not going to pick it up. The gun is overall a bad addition to the game, and im getting pissed that they Nerf-ed the rest of the actual GOOD guns.
This last image is the “Re spawn Van” that was hinted before the start of Season 8. It’s Official name is the ‘Second Chance Machine’ as it gives the players that have been knocked and finished, a second chance at the game. This mechanic is also in the rival game “Apex Legends”, which they have this in their game, but we still don’t know any inspirations for this new mechanic in the game.
I Feel like the re spawn van is going to be very annoying for players that has already died by someone else. Maybe they could only put a minimal amount of these vans in the game? Honestly, it will be very annoying and it probably will piss me off in the future.
