From Billie Eilish to LEGO Fortnite, here’s everything new in the Fortnite v29.30 update!
Fortnite’s latest patch has arrived in the form of the v29.30 update. Although Epic Games did not add anything too crazy to Battle Royale mode, there’s still quite a bit to cover. Billie Eilish is now a part of Fortnite, and a new LEGO Fortnite update has made animal taming possible.
This article walks you through the notable updates in the Fortnite v29.30 update.
Billie Eilish invades the Fortnite Festival
Billie Eilish has debuted Fortnite, confirming rumors in the leaked 2024 roadmap. She headlines the Fortnite Festival Season 3 Pass with various rewards available in a Free and Premium track. The Premium costs 1,800 V-Bucks and gets you the Green Roots Billie Outfit instantly.
Animal taming is now possible in LEGO Fortnite
Fortnite v29.30 included a long-awaited update to the LEGO game mode, adding animal taming. Players can now lure animals back to their Village and assign them to an Animal House. The animals available to tame include cows, chickens, sheep, and newly added pigs.
Tactical AR returns to Battle Royale in Fortnite v29.30
Although Battle Royale did not receive a significant update, a legacy weapon has re-entered the loot pool. The Tactical AR, which debuted in Chapter 1, is back in the mix. It spawns in Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities in locations such as Chests and on the ground.
New Confrontational Emote setting in Fortnite v29.30
Epic Games announced a somewhat controversial change before the Fortnite v29.30. Players can now choose whether or not they can see “Confrontational” Emotes. This means you can remove “toxic” taunts such as Take The L and Laugh It Up from your view.
So, if an opponent eliminates and decides to taunt you, there is an option to turn that off. You can find this setting in the “Social Privacy” menu, which is on by default.
