Epic’s Fortnite will receive its next big update mode with the “Horde Bash Update” releasing on Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac on October 5.
The new update will deliver an all-new “Challenge the Horde” gameplay mode, a new in-game event, new heroes, weapons, and more.
Challenge The Horde Mode
It all starts in a staging area. You’ll have unlimited time, but limited resources to build a portable horde fort. Once you’ve designed the perfect fort, exit the staging area and party with up to three friends. Your forts will be ready for action when your team hits the ground. As you survive, you’ll receive more resources and more rewards to Challenge The Horde.
Scavenger Event
With the new update comes a new event llama. The Scavenger Llamas holds four new Heroes, nine weapons, two new Defenders. Earn the Scavenger currency by completing quests and playing the new Challenge The Horde mode. The Scavenger weapon set is delicate, but they’re all cheap to craft.
