Fortnite 2.10 Update Patch Notes Highlights (Fortnite 8.11)

Fortnite 2.10 Update Patch Notes

One of the Fortnite 2.10 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.11) main highlights is the Flint-Knock Pistol, the new weapon that has now been added to the game. It is available in Common and Uncommon rarities, and can be found from floot loot. Expect to see this often at the early game stage, where players are scrounging for any weapon that they can get their hands on.

The Flint-Knock Pistol knocks back the shooter, which is pretty unique. Be mindful when firing from a ledge! Players can crouch to prevent the knockback effect. The weapon can also knock back the target if they are close enough. The closer you are to the target, the further the distance that they will move.

Dealing 86/90 damage up close, the Flint-Knock Pistol is to be used at closer ranges, as it has a significant damage falloff distance. (You won’t be sniping enemies with this one!) It also has a three-second reload time, which is performed after every single shot.

Another highlight of the Fortnite 2.10 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.11) is the return of the One Shot limited time mode. Also, the Impulse Grenade has been unvaulted, and the impulse strength of explosive weapons against vehicles has been increased by 233 percent. The Scoped Assault Rifle has also had its damage buffed from 24/23 to 27/26.
