Fortnite: remote explosives are about to be added to Battle Royale

4.8
Otherwise known as a sticky bomb, these explosives are activated from a distance and have the potential to increase strategic death-dealing across the map.

As they’ve just been revealed by Epic Games, we’d expect remote explosives to turn up in this week’s update, which kicks off Week 4 Challenges. Don’t be surprised to find remote explosives linked to a specific challenge.

They’re also likely to replace smoke grenades, which Epic has said are being removed from the game entirely as no one really uses them. This week’s patch will also bring loot llamas but don’t expect jetpacks anytime soon.

Other recent weapons added to Fortnite include the Hunting Rifle, the Hand Cannon and the Crossbow with unlimited ammo.

Sign-ups began yesterday for the iOS version of Fortnite in case you’re interested in taking your game on the move with you, and the good news is there is cross-play and progress saving between mobile and your console of choice or PC.

Epcot Interesting. I feel like this could be a good or a bad addition. Will it be an instant kill if you it hits them when it goes off?
I feel like if you have full shields you won't get knocked out. That would be too op in my opinion
