The tenth season of Fortnite Battle Royale has begun. Season 10 or Season X, as Epic Games calls it, brings many updates and exciting new items to the popular battle royale video game. The official patch notes have been recently published, along with detailed explanations of each new feature.
Epic Games has made it a tradition to bring major updates to Fortnite at the beginning of each season, without fail. This time, players are thrilled to try out the new additions, especially the brand-new B.R.U.T.E. suit, a vehicle that can transport two players at the same time, while one of them operates the turret and the other moves the machine around.
Even more, after the Zero Point Explosion, the developers created Rift Zones, which means players can now explore areas they thought were long gone, except now they are not the same as they used to be. The Rift Zones and the Zero Point Explosion are big elements in this Fortnite season’s theme.
Representatives of the developer team at Epic said: “Time is twisted and the Zero Point has become volatile. Whether you’re nostalgic for the past or excited for the future, there will be plenty for you to discover all season long. Locations once thought to be lost have begun to appear on the island, but they aren’t the same as they once were. Now that we know what the major updates are, let’s take a look at the smaller changes that Season X brings.
