Fortnite Patch V5.30 Brings Rift-To-Go, Tomato Temple, Score Royale

Patch V5.30 released earlier today and it’s one of the big ones. There’s a number of bug changes and fixes, some fairly insignificant but there are some massive changes included too, such as a new place-of-interest on the map, a brand new limited time mode called Score Royale, a shotgun buff, changes to impulse grenades, a brand new item… when you're not boogieing down with the latest emote, check out all the details below.

Score Royale LTM

A new solo LTM has been added called Score Royale in which you earn points by collecting coins and completing tasks such as getting kills and opening chests. The first person to cross the high-score threshold wins the game, rather than being the last person standing. Here’s the full breakdown of points:

Winning Score (Solo)	2000
Winning Score (Duos)	3000
Winning Score (Squads)	4500
Use an Apple or Mushroom	10
Open an Ammo Box	25
Open a Llama	50
Open a Supply Drop	100
Eliminate an Enemy	100
Open a Treasure Chest	50
Find a Bronze Coin	30
Find a Silver Coin	50
Find a Gold Coin	100

Rift-To-Go

The Rift-To-Go is the new item dropping into Fortnite Battle Royale. It's your ace in the hole, creating a Rift for yourself and allies. Escape danger or dive into it!

Can’t find a rift to escape the storm? Now you can carry one with you with the new Rift-To-Go item, a portable rift with a one-time use that can be used for both you and your teammates. It’s an Epic rarity item and you can carry two at once, but the rift only stays for 10 seconds after you use it.

Tomato Temple

Ascend to Royale-ty as Tomatohead by completing the Tomatohead challenges, available for past and present owners of the outfit.

Earlier this week, a burnt, shrivelled tomato head came through a portal on top of Uncle Pete’s Pizza Pit in Tomato Town. Now, the entirety of Tomato Town has been replaced by the new and improved Tomato Temple, along with an upgraded Tomatohead skin with some exclusive challenges you can find here. Tomato Town has been a mediocre place to drop for some time now so this is a welcome change to the map.

Other changes

Along with the major additions, there’s been a number of smaller changes this week. Impulse grenades can now be carried in stacks of nine instead of eight, the pump shotgun equip time has been shortened from 0.96 seconds to 0.88, the double-barrel shotgun has a 15% smaller spread when crouched, and clingers will now only explode when the fuse has expired rather than when the thing they’re attached to has been destroyed.

There’s plenty more too, and you can read about all the changes here on the official post from Epic. In other Fortnite news today though, check out all the leaked skins and emotes or find out how to unlock the new Boogie Down emote.
