Fortnite v8.11 shipped with a new weapon called Flint-Knock Pistol

Fortnite v8.11 has shipped with a brand-new weapon called Flint-Knock Pistol. The pistol brings new interesting gameplay and slightly raises the skill ceiling of Fortnite. Shooting from Flint-Knock Pistol will knock you back unless you are in crouched position. At close range, it also knocks back the opponent and deals massive damage (86/90 with Common/Uncommon).

The new pistol needs to reload for three seconds between each shot, making it a unique weapon which will take a lot of getting used to.

Epic Games returned Impulse Grenade to the main mode, massively increasing its damage against vehicles.

With patch 8.11, a new Limited time mode was introduced. In this LTM, players jump high due to low gravity and shoot each other with Sniper Rifles or Hunting Rifles. Everyone has only 50 health, so one good shot will send you back on the queue to School Bus.

There are other various changes to the game which include things like traffic optimization, bug fixes, Co-op mode updates and more. Check out the official patch notes page to know the details.

With the release of Apex Legends Battle Pass, the timing of Fortnite update couldn’t have been better.
