Epic Games have released their weekly update for their free-to-play battle royale title — Fortnite.

The latest update, titled v10.20, brings a slew of great new fixes and features. The two big main ones are the new electrifying trap — the Zapper Trap, and the return of the Floating Island — now with the return of the Motel! In additions to these new features, Epic Games also went into the game and like usual, patched some new fixes for both the weapons and items of Fortnite.

Check out the full set of patch notes for Fortnite down below:

WHAT’S NEW?

Zapper Trap
This electrifying item is not only shocking in its execution but also in its innovation — it creates a trap that attaches to both sides of a surface!
