The Fortnite Updates V8.11 is live now on all Fortnite platforms,which brings yet another new weapon to Battle Royale:
The Flint-Knock Pistol! The Flint-Knock pistol is the older brother to the previously vaulted Revolver and has a etchings on the side, mimicking a pirate’s pistol. On March 20 th, Epic Games posted a video showing off the Flint-Knock pistol on their official Twitter, giving players a first peek at what this new weapon looks like, as you can check below. Aside from the Flint-Knock pistol, Patch Notes V8.11 brings changes and additions to other aspects of the game. Keep on reading for more details on the update.
The Flint-Knock Pistol Overview
The new weapon is named the Flint-Knock Pistol, and it looks powerful. The weapon deals 86/90 damage in close range, which will blast away enemy opponents close enough to the weapon. However, Epic Games states there is "significant damage falloff" as players shoot from distance, which will cause players who fire the weapon to be thrusted back. To avoid this, players have to crouch when they fire it. Players will have to reload after every shot, and with a three second reload time, players will need to be accurate or they may find themselves back in the lobby. The Flint-Knock Pistol uses Heavy Ammo and can be found in floor loot in Common and Uncommon rarities.
Other Changes In Patch Notes V8.11
Aside from the new weapon, Patch Notes V8.11 introduces a new LTM,One Shot. This mode enables low gravity and restricts player health to just 50. Sniper Rifles and Hunting Rifles are the only weapons available, while Bandages are your only help if things go wrong.
Additionally, patch v8.11 brings back a fan-favorite item: Impulse grenades. Even better, the grenades are now more effective against vehicles, which were barely in the game when these were vaulted back in season 6.
