Fortnite Update 16.30 Batshack, New Exotic Bow, New Mythic!

Fortnite Update 16.30 came out today and there is SO MUCH THAT’S NEW! In this video I review it all for you. First, there’s a new, but largely useless, island just South of Flush Factory. According to the learkers, this is called Oroisle and may indicate that the Oro skin, or a female varient, will be coming to the shop. The island does have a chest spawn and several floor loot spawns, as well as enough rocks to get nearly max brick/stone, but otherwise it doesn’t currently serve a major purpose. Another small addition hey made is a new Batshack that ties to the 6-issue DC/Fortnite comic series. Again, leakers are saying the files refer to it as the Batshack, and it does indeed have a batman symbol on it. It has a couple chest spawns, some slurp barrels and floot loot. You can find it West of Slurpy Swamps and South of Shanty Town in a new building.

Separate from those minor map changes, two new weapons are now in the game. The first one is a new Exotic Unstable Bow. This bow transforms into either a Shockwave Bow, an Explosive Bow, a Flame Bow, or a Stink Bow randomly each time it reloads. You can purchase it for 500 bars from Rebirth Raven who spawns at a house between Fort Crumpet and Sweaty Sands. The second one is Raz’s Mythic Explosive Bow. As of this update, Raz has moved to The Spire, replacing the Spire Assassin, which also means that the useless Mythic Recycler is vaulted. Raz is pretty difficult to fight in solos because not only does he fire his Explosive Bow at you, but he also has some sort of soul-sucking power that he’ll use on you when you fight close to him. This power attacks your health (not your shield), so if you stay close for too long, you will absolutely lose. As for his Mythic Explosive Bow, it’s only slightly improved over the Legendary version, so in my opinion it’s not even worthwhile.

To no one’s surprise, the Neymar Jr battlepass rewards became available with this update. They are only available to Battlepass owners and they are all soccer-related. As part of this, three new characters have been added to the map, all of which are soccer skins. They spawn at Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges and Dirty Docks. You have to interact with each of them and complete quests to unlock the Neymar Jr skin. Then you’ll have to do a few quests while wearing the Neymar Jr skin in order to complete the get the rest of the rewards.
