This week’s Fortnite update will bring a brand new item and game mode to Battle Royale.
Both the Floor is Lava limited-time game mode and a poison trap will be available in version 8.20 of the game. You’ll be able to enjoy them from tomorrow, March 27, after the update goes live.
Every Fortnite player looks forward to the game’s weekly updates, which almost always add new content and keep Battle Royale feeling fresh. And this week’s will be no different.
Watch your step!
Season eight brought lava to Fortnite for the first time, but in regular game modes, you will only find it in certain areas of the map. In the new Floor is Lava LTM, it will take over the map.
You’ll be forced to get to high ground or build above the lava to survive. You can take out your opponents by ensuring they don’t get out of it alive.

You will also have to move around more carefully in standard Battle Royale. A new poison trap, which shoots darts at players who get too close, is coming. It’s not yet clear how much damage each dart will deal.
More bug fixes
This is what we know about Fortnite version 8.20 so far, but Epic Games may have lots more up its sleeve. And you can be sure there will be plenty of bug fixes and improvements, too.
Epic community coordinator Sean Hamilton recently detailed some of those improvements on Reddit. We may have to wait longer for some of them, however; they aren’t all guaranteed for the 8.20 release.
