When natural consumables were added to Fortnite way back in season 1, they were a welcome addition to the game. These mini health and shield buffs didn’t require a full inventory slot, which helped make the game feel more balanced. Unlike new inclusions like the Fortnite helicopter, their inclusion felt like a quality of life improvement that didn’t fundamentally change how the game was played.

Epic Games is filing a lawsuit against Apple since it banned the Fortnite app from the iOS app store. Apple currently has a monopoly on in-app purchases and the way they are operated, but Epic Games tried to implement a discount if the players purchased in-game currency directly from Epic.

The second game mode is Battle Zone, in which two teams of four players battle for control points, not unlike Overwatch’s Control mode....
The tagline for Air Strike is: “Throw this down to get help from above!” In a video released for the new item, it shows a user throwing the Air Strike canister into an enemy’s base, releasing a red smoke in the surrounding area.
