It's Christmas in Fortnite! Patch 15.10 is now available to honor the holiday season with new features, rewards and skins.
At the same time, it's the first update of Season 5, so you'll have to momentarily let go of your job as a wild bounty hunter to put on a more festive and warm outfit.
Epic Games hasn't released a full official patch note for v15.00. We're doing our best to collect the news and summarize it for you in this article.
Updates
Increase in the quantity of gold bars acquired each time they're obtained.
Decreased frequency of appearance.
Operation: Snowdown
Winter is coming this week. Join Snowmando for new Quests, chilling Items added to the Island, and new and fan-favorite LTMs you won't wanna miss. Complete all the Operation: Snowdown Quests and earn a ton of free snowy cosmetics, including two exclusive Outfits!
New Items
Mancake misplaced his stash of weapons throughout the Island. The new Cowboy Repeater Rifle combines a rapid shooting style with dead-eye accuracy. Syr-yp!
Save up those Bars because the fire-loving Blaze has also been equipped with an Exotic-class weapon for sale, the fiery Dragon's Breath Sniper. To combat the heat, a new Character has arrived and will be packing their own chilly armaments.
With the beginning of the winter festivities of Fortnite patch 15.10, two new exotic weapons join your arsenal: Dragon's Breath Sniper and The Big Chill.
New Options
Based on player-requested feedback, we've added an option to toggle on or off Pre-Edits; with Pre-Edits 'off' new builds will always appear in their default, unedited state when building.
On the next gen hardware front, 15.10 brings '120 FPS Mode' option for a buttery smooth framerate that would make Mancake blush. Note: In 120 FPS Mode, the resolution display will be capped at 1440p on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and 1080p for Xbox Series S.
New LTM: Spy Within
Drop in to a new LTM playlist, Spy Within, featuring new games made by top community creators. The team of Spies must hunt down the team of Agents as they complete objectives. Don't act sus, or the agents will vote you off the island!
Fortnite's new Christmas LTM is called The Spy Within, and it will make you win exclusive cosmetics. If you enjoy playing Among Us, the concept of this mini-game should catch your attention.
