Fortnite’s Amazing Web Week brings back Bouncers
A new update has been released for Fortnite across all platforms that kicks off Amazing Web Week.
During the latest themed week, which runs from March 1st through March 8th, players will begin finding Spider-Man’s Web Shooters in chests as well as their usual spots. In addition, Bouncers return to ground loot and Supply Drops, and Amazing Web Week Quests will be available to complete for some bonus XP.
Today’s update also adds proximity voice chat to the “Impostors (Voice)” playlist which limits players to communicating only with other players near their character. Players who do not wish to use voice chat can still select the basic Imposters playlist.
“As before, voice communication is split between players who are and aren’t eliminated, while mixing both the Agents and Impostors together,” Epic Games writes. “Even though eliminated players can’t voice chat with non-eliminated players, they can still hear them to keep up with the drama.”
Finally, Epic Games has added the ability to change the time of day when viewing a replay. Read the full patch notes here.
In other news, Epic recently revealed that tennis champion Naomi Osaka will be joining Fortnite later this week as part of the Icon Series. Players can purchase two outfits and a number of themed accessories.
Fortnite is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
