A new scoped revolver weapon and glider redeploy item will be the two main highlights of the Fortnite 7.20 update patch notes for the community of the massively popular battle royale title.

Featuring perfect accuracy, players are sure to be looking forward to seeing what kind of damage they will be able to inflict on their enemies in their quests for Victory Royales with the new weapon tomorrow when it is added to the live servers of the game by the way of the Fortnite 7.20 patch notes.

The other major addition that players will be looking forward to trying out from the new patch notes will be the glider redeploy item that will mark the return of the controversial game mechanic.

With the glider redeploy item being a piece of loot that players will have to find in order to use and only having a limited amount of charges to allow for the use of glider redeploy, it will be very interesting to see how the community responds to the return of the glider redeploy mechanic in its new form with the implementation of the Fortnite update 7.20 patch notes. 

A whole host of bug fixes and other quality of life changes will also be implemented on Tuesday. These will consist of fixes to the ghost shot, mounted turret hit marker, X-4 Stormwing glider redeploy and zipline bugs. A new wall building mechanic and sensitivity changes will also be introduced to the battle royale game. 

Due to the Fortnite 7.20 update patch notes having the potential to shake up the meta of the battle royale game in a drastic way with the scoped revolver and glider redeploy item, tomorrow will be a very important day for the immediate future of the title.
