The Fortnite 2.10 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.11) have now been published by Epic Games. The latest Fortnite update adds the new Flint-Knock Pistol, the One Shot limited time mode, and changes to Creative Mode and Save the World. This new Fortnite patch also adds some fixes to bugs and stability issues, which are always appreciated. Whether you’re on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iPhone, the new update is now available to download and test out. You find the full list of patch notes below.
Fortnite 2.10 Update Patch Notes Highlights (Fortnite 8.11)
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.

Rarest Fortnite Skins

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
