Bounce Pad Now Available In Fortnite Content Update v4.3

Back in September and October of last year, Fortnite Battle Royale was a vastly different game to what it looks like now. Retail Row was the hotspot for action, there was only one type of potion that granted shields, and there were a number of other traps in the game. One of those was the bounce pad, a placeable item that sent players careering off into the distance, without pulling out their glider. The bounce pad has now returned, with some interesting extra qualities.

Firstly, it negates all fall damage, so you can use them to your heart’s content, just like the bouncy tires used to do. They’re a rare item and they drop in stacks of three, so you can take as many as you want and they don’t take up an inventory space due to being a trap. They can be placed on walls, to send players blasting off in a specific direction, and they also work with shopping carts, for that extra boost.

Epic have released the full details in their patch notes, but it’s a short one this time around. There’s some Save The World additions too if that’s your jam, but /u/MrPopoTFS explained on Reddit that this update isn’t the same as a patch:

“For those wondering, this was a Content Update and not a full patch. This is why there was no downtime.

We do these smaller Content Updates in between patches so that we can still bring you content while also allowing us time to work on the larger patches.”

In two days time the challenges for season four week six will be released, so keep your eyes peeled for guides on Twin Galaxies to help you complete them. In other Fortnite news, players have used the recently released shopping cart to destroy the meteor in the middle of Dusty Divot, and Rick Fox, CEO of Echo Fox, has said the organisation is looking into competitive Fortnite.
