Summing up today's update in an official blog post, the Fortnite developers have explained, «Fortnite Battle Royale v24.20 brings the arrival of ODM Gear and Thunder Spears to the Island!»
ODM, if you were wondering, stands for Omni-Directional Mobility Gear. As Epic puts it, «Having this apparatus equipped will give you the ability to grapple in the air and strike opponents below! After attacking with the built-in blades, you’ll immediately boost back into the air so you can grapple elsewhere… or hover and execute another attack.»
Those Thunder Spears, meanwhile, are described as «arm-launched rockets designed to penetrate armoured structures, detonating to damage enemies on both sides».
Attack on Titan fans will be pleased to hear that «also, the Eren Jaeger Outfit is now unlockable in the Battle Pass. However, Eren isn’t the only member of the 'Special Operations Squad': pick up the Captain Levi and Mikasa Ackermann Outfits available now in the Item Shop!»
