Fortnite Update V24.20 Live With Patch Notes
A new Fortnite update has been released, update V24.20, alongside patch notes that reveal and detail what Epic Games has changed with said update, which arrives alongside new Attack on Titan content. This also means the ODM Gear and Thunder Spears are now in the game, as well as a little map change for fans of the anime. More specifically, players can now discover Jaeger's family basement in Anvil Square. Meanwhile, the ODM Gear and Thunder Spears can be found all across the map in Scout Regiment Footlockers.
As you will notice in the new trailer for the update, there are skins for the anime as well. The Eren Jaeger outfit is unlockable via the Battle Pass (which is also required to complete the new The Eren Jaeger Quests), while the Captain Levi and Mikasa Ackermann outfits are currently available via the Item Shop.
