Fortnite Update 35.10 Receives the New Cinderwatch Shell Map
Fortnite Ballistic v35.10: Test Grounds Update 2
Test Grounds Update #2 is live with v35.10 on May 16! The update includes the new Cinderwatch shell map, the DL-44 Blaster Pistol from Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE, new functionality and features, game improvements, and more. Let’s get into it:
Introducing Cinderwatch
Cinderwatch is a new map that is based on Mediterranean architecture. There are no environmental details about the map, but Epic Games is seeking player feedback.
Big Change: Gadgets Are Now Free!
The best things in life are free, including gadgets! After selecting a gadget at the start of a match, you’ll no longer have to buy it. Instead, you’ll boot into each round with two of your selected gadget at your disposal in your inventory, free of charge.
From a Galaxy Far, Far Away: the DL-44 Blaster Pistol
This blaster’s quite the traveler! Replacing the starter Ranger Pistol until v36.00 is the DL-44 Blaster Pistol, a reliable and accurate sidearm that packs a punch.
New Pistol Slot & Vote-to-Surrender
New in v35.10 is a dedicated pistol slot, which means that pistols will no longer take the spot of your primary weapon. Buying the Hand Cannon or any other pistol added to Ballistic in the future will now replace the Ranger Pistol instead. (Or until v36.00, the DL-44 Blaster Pistol.)
Map Changes to Storm Chaser Cove
Several significant layout changes have been made to Storm Chaser Cove in v35.10, following minor adjustments made to the map in v35.00. You’ll notice a wall has been added between Mid and Site B to increase flank time between those two areas. We’ve also slightly increased the size of Site B, and added low-sitting cover and props elsewhere. Let us know your thoughts on these changes, and we’ll continue to iterate as needed.
Improvements & Fixes – v35.10
Storm Chasers Cove
- Fixed two exploits where players could leave the starting area before the barriers went down.
- Fixed several issues related to the mini-map not matching the actual space.
- Fixed an issue where players’ feet would clip into the floor in the Attacker’s Spawn area.
- Fixed an issue where Proximity Mines could clip into a pillar in Site B.
Hammer Fall
- Fixed an issue where players were able to Impulse Grenade themselves to an unintended spot near Statue Square.
Other Changes
- Overdrive’s duration has been reduced from 12 to 10 seconds, and its fire rate increase has been halved.
- Fixed an issue where players were sometimes unable to defuse the Rift Point Device when under the effect of Overdrive.
- Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes crash after selecting “Return to Lobby.”
