Fortnite has dropped its latest weekly update, and this one includes a rather surprising crossover with…the NFL? Yup, starting this Friday, Fortnite players will be able to purchase new skins based on the uniforms of all 32 NFL teams. The uniforms will be accompanied by a Limited-Time Mode, Blitz, which speeds up the usual battle royale action. Check out the new NFL threads below.
Of course, that’s not all – the update also includes the new Heavy Assault Rifle and Team Terror Limited Time Mode. Team Terror is a 32-on-32 PvPvE mode, that brings back the cube monsters from the Fortnitemares Halloween event. Speaking of which, Fortnitemares may be finished in Battle Royale, but the event continues in Fortnite Save the World.
