Fortnite updated to Version 10.30 (full patch notes), Item Shop Voting announced

Some sizable changes this week
by rawmeatcowboy
11 September 2019
GN Version 5.0

Today's Fortnite update is a little busier than usual. While we have the usual weekly patch notes, there's also the announcement of Item Shop Voting. Check out all the info below.

WHAT’S NEW?

Moisty Palms
In this swampy new Rift Zone, you can crouch to disguise yourself as a prop!

Greasy Grove
A Rift Zone has brought back Greasy Grove, but the neighborhood’s favorite food is now tacos. The tacos here are so good that even their smell makes people party!

LIMITED TIME MODES:

KNOCK TOWN
Team Type: Solo | Respawning: On

Created by AlanShinohara. Knock Town was a top 3 contender for the LTM Creator Contest!

Use the grappler to jump around and dodge shots as you one-tap enemies in the air with the Flint-Knock Pistol. The player with the most eliminations at the end of the match wins!

WEAPONS + ITEMS

Vaulted
- Burst SMG

Unvaulted
- Tactical SMG (Also: now available in Playground!)

Bug Fixes

Players impulsed by a Shockwave Grenade will no longer destroy a nearby trap without first destroying the building piece it is attached to.
The Zapper Trap’s info card now shows the appropriate 4 stars (indicating Epic Rarity) rather than 2 (indicating Uncommon Rarity).
Resolved an issue in which the Zapper Trap would not build properly when thrown on slopes or uneven terrain.
B.R.U.T.E.s will now be launched away if they touch the Floating Island’s Cube.
The B.R.U.T.E.’s Stomp attacks now deal consistent damage to other vehicles.
Previously, they would deal either double or triple damage to other vehicles.
The color of the B.R.U.T.E.’s cooldown meter now updates properly to correspond with the cooldown value.

INTRODUCING ITEM SHOP VOTING

We’re testing a new feature that gives you the power to vote for what comes back to a new Item Shop slot: Community Choice! When this feature is available, Item Shop content will battle against one another, and you can place your vote on what returns for an encore.

How Does It Work?

For each Community Choice event, you can vote once a day in support of the item you want to see return. While your daily vote is locked once you confirm a choice, you can vote for other items on any following days for the duration of the event. Be sure to log-in each day to get a new vote and show your support!

At the end of the Community Choice countdown, all player votes will be tallied up and the winner will be available in the Item Shop for a limited time. The first Community Choice begins when the shop rolls over in v10.30. Drop in on September 11 at 8 PM ET to cast your first vote!
