Fortnite Slurp Juice is Getting Buffed in v5.10 Content Update

The next major content update for Fortnite Battle Royale is set to be the v5.10 update, and its patch notes will likely include the addition of the newly announced Compact SMG legendary and epic weapon and a major buff to the Fortnite Slurp Juice item.

This revelation of a major buff coming to the Slurp Juice healing item in Fortnite came by the way of an Epic Games employee on the official subbreddit for Epic Games' popular battle royale game.

News of the buff came in response to a thread where one community member suggested a change to the Fortnite Slurp Juice healing item that consisted of the item giving its healing ability to a player's health if their shields are full or to a player's shields if their health is full. Currently the Slurp Juice gives 25 shield and 25 health over a duration of 25 seconds.

Epic Games employee EpicEricSw stated in a post on the thread that the Slurp Juice would be getting a major change in its mechanics in the upcoming v5.10 content update. This change will consist of the healing item giving "75 points (2hp/s), but prioritizes HP first. If HP is full it'll go to Shield".

Many members of the Fortnite community were excited to hear of the expected changes to the Slurp Juice healing item, as many have felt that its current healing power did not deem it worthy of its high rarity compared to the battle royale game's other healing items. Now players will have an extra powerful healing item directed at their health points, while also having the ability to heal their shields once their health is full.
