In Fortnite’s v23.30 update, the Son Gohan and Piccolo skins from the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie make their Fortnite debut. In addition, the Kamehameha attack item and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun) mobility item are out of the vault, and Dragon Ball Adventure Island is back!
Also, if you’re getting tired of getting smashed by the Deku, there’s another defense that’s just been fixed. If you scroll all way down to the bottom, you’ll notice that now the Guardian Shield will block damage from Deku’s Smash. This is now a great reason to have this shield in your inventory!
GO BEYOND ONCE AGAIN IN BATTLE ROYALE
Throughout each match in Battle Royale/Zero Build, the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun) items will fall from the sky in capsules. Launch a devastating energy beam with the Kamehameha, and with the Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun), take flight around the Island! The frequency of capsules will increase as the Storm closes in, meaning the end of each match will be primetime for an epic showdown.
These two items will remain in Battle Royale/Zero Build until v23.40.
BEYOND BATTLE ROYALE: DRAGON BALL ADVENTURE ISLAND RETURNS
The adventure continues!
Back in Fortnite starting now, go on a Dragon Ball collecting adventure in Dragon Ball Adventure Island. Made by creator team Vysena Studios, this island features sites inspired by iconic locations from Dragon Ball — visit Goku’s House, Kami’s Palace, the Room of Spirit & Time, and Beerus’ Planet! At any time during your adventure, test your power in Tenkaichi Budokai, the open PvP battle arena.
