November 20 marked the release of Fortnite’s v6.30 Content Update and the introduction of the all new ‘Dynamite’ explosive item.

Originally announced on November 19 via the in-game news section, Dynamite will allow players to light a fuse and then stand back to watch the world go up in smoke.

“Light the fuse and wait for the boom!” was the only piece of information that players received with the original announcement, but now the release of the patch notes has revealed all.

Also being added to the game is the Wild West LTM where players will “use weapons from frontier times” as the fight one another.

The full patch notes, which include the all-new ‘Ghost Pistol’ for Save the World, can be found below:

HOWDY PARTNERS,
