Fortnite v22.10 Update Adds New DMR and Grapple Guns

The latest update for Fortnite Battle Royale is here. We've listed everything that's changed in this new update.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4: Paradise has seen all sorts of weird, chrome happenings occur across the island. Players have been able to blob-ify themselves, phasing through walls and generating all kinds of havoc. Thanks to this latest update, Epic Games has added in a few more ways for players to get around the map, and more ways to deal some damage while they're at it.

Fortnite v22.10 Update: Full Patch Notes Detailed

Cobra DMR

When one door closes, another one opens. The normal DMR has been vaulted, but taking its place is the fast fire Cobra DMR. Cobra DMRs can be collected from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, fishing, Loot Sharks, and Reality Sapling Fruit.

Holo-Chests

Keys can now be used to open Holo-Chests, along with Security Vaults. One Key is all you need to open a Holo-Chest, which shows a holographic preview of what’s inside.

Two Keys are needed to open an Exotic Holo-Chest, containing an Exotic item.

Grapple Gloves

The Grapple Gloves are back, and can now be found on the ground, in Chests, Supply Drops, and Legendary and Mythic Reality Sapling Fruit. Grapple Gloves will be available until the v22.20 update.
