Fortnite Uncharted crossover
Fortnite is set to crossover with the upcoming Uncharted movie on February 17, bringing skins for both Tom Holland’s Nathan Drake and Sophia Ali’s Chloe Frazer, as well as their look from the games.
Players will be able to purchase these skins from the Fortnite Item Shop, but there’s more than just cosmetic items coming from Uncharted…
Treasure Map returns
As part of the Uncharted crossover, Fortnite players will have the chance to hunt for riches of their own. The Treasure Map, which was last seen in May 2019, returns as part of the 19.30 update.

The Treasure Map leads players to a location with a buried treasure chest, which Legendary or Mythic weapons inside. Players can only hold one Treasure Map at a time but can use multiple during a match.
The item has received a visual update in this patch, which we can see thanks to leaker ShiinaBR.
Gyro & Flick Stick Controller Options
Epic Games have also given players new ways to play the game, adding the Gyro and Flick Stick controller options as part of this patch.
Players who use Nintendo Switch or Android devices already know about Gyro controls, but this update “brings more robust gyro controls to Fortnite on these two platforms, plus PS4, PS5, and PC.”

Gyro controls will let players control the camera by turning the controller. This setting is found in the ‘Touch and Motion’ settings tab, and Epic say it “can offer more precision than standard stick aiming.”
Initial Screen removed
Players who boot up Fortnite after the 19.30 patch will notice that they are no longer taken to the screen where you choose between Save the World, Battle Royale, and Creative modes.
Instead, you will be taken directly to the pre-game lobby, where you will be able to select what you want to do.
