Fortnite update 22.30 early patch notes
The Herald skin finally arrives
This season’s ‘secret skin’ (which isn’t exactly a secret) is The Herald, who you might have already encountered as a boss fight at Herald’s Sanctum.
The skin has been locked away behind a countdown, but shortly after the v22.30 update goes live, it will be available for players to unlock by completing a series of quests like in previous seasons.
Epic GamesThree more Star Wars characters are here
After plenty of rumors and teasers, it’s finally been confirmed that Star Wars icons Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa are coming to Fortnite!
You can find their skins and several matching cosmetics in the Item Shop as soon as downtime ends.
Epic GamesIt’s Skywalker Week!
To celebrate the long-awaited arrival of Luke Skywalker, Fortnite is holding a ‘Skywalker Week’ event that runs until November 8, 2022, and will feature loads of surprises for fans of the franchise.
The Lightsaber, E-11 Blaster Rifle, Pulse Rifle, and Junk Rift have all been unvaulted for the duration of the week. We’ve also heard that Darth Vader might have returned to the Island…
Chrome Punk Goals
A new set of quests has gone live with the v22.30 update. They’re called the Chrome Punk Goals and they involve leveling up your account, so it could take you quite a while to complete them.
The good news is that your efforts will be rewarded nicely, as there’s a Chrome Punk skin available to unlock alongside the Graveyard Rave loading screen and a Chromeseed back bling.
Epic GamesFortnitemares comes to an end…
After two weeks of spooky fun, Fortnitemares is coming to an end following the v22.30 update. This most likely means that event-themed weapons and spawns are going to be vaulted or removed.
