Fortnite version 17.10 is here, and the patch notes include a major gameplay shift. Players who have jumped into Fortnite Season 7 already know that an alien invasion is currently underway, with the Imagined Order (IO) leading a supposed resistance. While the alien Mothership still looms large, casting a shadow over the entire island, Epic is introducing a new way for players to get on board the Mothership starting this week.
Fortnite 17.10 patch notes
Fortnite patch 17.10, as its name suggests, is the first major gameplay patch since the launch of the new season Come from Sports betting site VPbet . According to the Fortnite Trello board, the update fixes a problem with the NPC Collection book, allowing players to properly close out their entries for Doctor Slone and Bunker Jonesy.
Meanwhile, on Twitter, the Fortnite Status account’s version of the 17.10 update includes just that one bullet point–“A new surprise descends. A way inside the Mothership?”– but elsewhere the news blog confirms several more changes. Starting with today’s update, the Mothership will become its own location in rounds of Battle Royale, taking players off-land and high above even Mount Kay, the summit of Apollo. To get aboard the Mothership, players will need to find Abductors, which look like smaller versions of UFOs that hover over a spot for a short while at random across the island. If you’re standing under an Abductor when its tractor beam goes into action you’ll be taken to the Mothership.
Once on the ship, you’ll have a short period of time to collect as many orbs as you can, including time-extending orbs to give yourself extra time aboard the ship. The more orbs you collect before you’re sent away, the better loot you’ll be sent away with. Think of it as a bonus stage in an old-school platformer. The game’s official accounts were first to tease the incoming gameplay change yesterday, posting as the in-universe characters, the Hot Saucers.
