Fortnite update 25.10 patch notes
Nike Airphoria event
Players have been waiting for the next major Nike and Fortnite partnership, Airphoria, for several days now. When the collaboration goes live on June 20, 2023, players will be able to drop in and perform tasks in exchange for free rewards in a unique Creative 2.0 experience.
Members of .SWOOSH (Nike’s NFT division) may receive free air drops as a reward for participating in the event. While specifics of the event are yet to be announced, we do know that the Item Shop will soon be stocking new cosmetics inspired by Nike’s Air Max collection.
New Augments
There are two new Reality Augments and one returning Augment being added to Fortnite with this update. Finding these will give you perks like instant weapons and health and shield regeneration.
Here are the new Augments you can now find in Fortnite:
- Mud Warrior (new) – Regenerate Health and Shield while in mud or covered in it.
- SMG Extended Mag (new) – Your SMGs will have increased magazine size.
- Tracker’s Armory (unvaulted) – Receive a Flare Gun and a Shadow Tracker.
You can see more information about how these perks work in our Reality Augments guide.
Super Level Styles
Each season in Fortnite has its own Battle Pass, which contains a variety of intriguing cosmetic items that players work quickly to unlock by racking up XP and Battle Stars. Once a player reaches level 100, though, they typically set their sights on the extremely rare and difficult-to-unlock super level styles.
For the Mariposa, Rian, Lorenzo, Relik, and Trace outfits, the new Wildscorch, Confetti Claw, and Regal Hunter super level styles have arrived. These styles become available to the player at level 125 and can be obtained in full by reaching level 200. So good luck getting them all in time!
New Cloak Gauntlets and Relik NPC boss
In the most recent patch, a new NPC boss was introduced to the map, and he can be found in the Jungle biome, carrying two rare weapons. The jungle biome’s Wildguard Relik is currently roaming throughout the area’s three new POIs in search of his new victim.
Epic GamesIn addition to the NPC, you’ll also find a pair of Cloak Gauntlets, created from reflecting Kinetic Ore and functioning similarly to the Predator’s Cloaking Device by temporarily rendering you invisible for a set period of time when used. This item has a cooldown period, after which it can be used indefinitely for the remainder of the match.
After defeating Wildguard Relik on the Fortnite island, players will obtain the Cloak Gauntlets and a Mythic variation of the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, the game’s strongest assault rifle with an attached red-dot sight.
Ranks reset in Ranked Mode
In preparation for the next season of Ranked Mode, all player ranks have been reset to the beginning with the latest patch. Fortnite players can keep working through the same urgent Ranked Quests as they would in a normal match, as their progress over the challenges has not been reset.
Epic GamesWith this update, however, your Bright Burn emote will no longer show your previous rank as you must climb through the ranks again to be an Unreal contender.
Competitive Ranks
In addition, the update includes the eligibility criteria for this season’s competitive tournaments, which means that players must achieve a particular rank in the Ranked mode before entering a Fortnite tournament.
| Tournament | Rank Requirement |
| FNCS Community Cup | Bronze I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Duos Fill Cup | Silver I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Zero Build Duos Fill Cup | Silver I in Ranked Zero Build |
| Solo Victory Cash Cup | Gold I in Ranked Battle Royale |
