The main feature of Fortnite Content Update 9.41 is, of course, the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle which offers players a sneak peek at Storm activity before it happens. While the overall stats for this weapon aren’t all that different from a traditional Sniper, the Storm Scout’s greatest advantage lies in its added ability. Those who know where the storm will go can locate the best spots to camp while picking off opponents from a distance. Beyond that, Birthday Presents and Birthday Cake offer new avenues for health and loot, but neither item drastically changes the game as we know it.
Fortnite Content Update 9.41 arrives just 24 hours after the main 9.41 update that featured fixes for Creative Mode and iOS. Because that patch arrives so shortly before this one, an additional download is not required to experience Fortnite Content Update 9.41.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile.
