Fortnite players are finally getting the long-awaited Driftboard in season 7.
In addition to the snowboard, Epic is also releasing a couple of limited time game modes, one that also involves the Driftboard, and yet another that eliminates all of the guns from the game and lets players play a deadly game of dodgeball using just grenades. Players will only be able to access the snowboard for a limited time.
There’s a few alterations coming with this update, such as reduced spawn rates for certain items. Balloons, gliders, and dual pistols will spawn less frequently as floor loot. Check out the content that’s coming to Fortnite’s in patch v7.40.
