Fortnite content update 7.20 has been rolled out for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android.
A follow-up to last week’s update, the new patch adds new items, a returning LTM and fix some minor issues.
Fitting in with the winter theme, content update 7.20 adds the Sneaky Snowman, which is a brand new disguise.
“Become a master of disguise,” reads the Sneaky Snowman patch notes description.
Perhaps surprisingly, Epic Games has also vaulted one or two classic items.
This includes the Quad Rocket Launcher, the Port-A-fortress and the Grappler.
You can check out the remaining patch notes for content update 7.20 below…
