Fortnite Update 5.21 Patch: Update Download Available

The most recent patch released for Fortnite, v5.21, was introduced this week on Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, PS4 and mobile. This update adds new features to the game: time-limited modes named Sniper Shootout and Soaring 50s, as well as a weapon called Heavy Sniper. In this article we will take a closer look at these additions to see if they are improving Fortnite in any way.

Sniper Shootout LTM

This new LTM features only sniper rifles, such as scoped guns (including newly added Heavy Sniper) and non-scoped long-range guns. A very important part of the shooter genre, snipers-only mode provides players with an exciting experience, creating a stressful and tense atmosphere. While it is better to avoid getting shot, the map offers many health packs and shield buffs, so there is always a chance to improve the health levels. Overall, Sniper Shootout is definitely up there with other great Fortnite LTMs.

Soaring 50s LTM

Getting its name from added mobility options, Soaring 50s is a standard 50v50 mode. This extra mobility was achieved mostly thanks to the glider, which can be used in the air at least 10 meters above the ground. The additional launch pads, bounce pads and impulse grenades provide more ways of starting the flight. The mobility in this LTM allows to escape the danger in many situations, but it can also isolate a player from his teammates. This mode is fast-paced, but also chaotic, so there will be those who will not enjoy it fully.

Heavy Sniper

This new weapon is available in Epic-level and Legendary-level versions. It can be found in vending machines, chests, supply drops and regular loot. The Heavy Sniper causes a lot of destruction, as its damage is 150+ per shot and 1050+ against structures. Thanks to a minimal bullet drop, this weapon is very effective at long-range distances. The only real downside is rather the long reload time and just one bullet in the chamber, so every shot matters while using Heavy Sniper.

Diablo III Available to Download and Play on Switch

Finally, there is some good news for the fans of Diablo III. This very popular game will become available on Switch later this year, being the first Blizzard title compatible with a Nintendo platform in around 15 years. But this is not all, as Legend of Zelda should also arrive on Switch somewhere in 2018.

Porting of Diablo III to Switch went smoothly

According to Pete Stilwell, a senior producer, the process of porting Diablo III was accomplished without any complications and the hardest part of it was the “conversion on the graphics site”. During a meeting that took place earlier this week in San Francisco, Stilwell offered hope to the fans of Blizzard productions, saying that the porting of Diablo III to Switch is just the beginning and more titles are expected to follow. He also praised Nintendo for their help and attitude in the porting process.

The whole process took nine months

Diablo III was a perfect choice for a Switch port, as a lot of work was done a few years ago, when the game was transformed from PC to consoles. It is also worth mentioning that Blizzard had additional help from Iron Galaxy, the studio responsible for the Switch port of Skyrim in 2017. In case of Diablo III, the whole process of making the game compatible with Switch took around nine months.

What about other Blizzard games

The successful process of porting Diablo III does not mean that all other Blizzards titles will be adapted to Switch, as each game will still require a separate process. Overwatch was given as an example of such game, however, Stilwell said that there is a possibility of a Switch port of this title as well.

We do not have good news for those who hope to see Diablo on mobile devices, as Stilwell stated that there is no interest in this. He also said that they would have to face many challenges in the process of adopting Diablo to the requirements of smartphones.

The senior producer also stated that the version of Diablo III will be much improved, compared to the game we all played after its launch in 2012.
