Fortnite is rolling out its v19.20 update patch today. While Fortnite usually updates its content on at least a weekly basis, this particular update includes some major changes. This includes a brand-new POI, the unvaulting of a fan-favorite weapon, and much more.

Epic Games' enduringly popular free-to-play battle royale shooter is well into its Chapter 3 inaugural season. The current season has seen a robust amount of content added, including an array of new items, POIs, and NPCs. Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 has also seen a return to form for crossover skins, adding Marvel's Green Goblin as one of its latest.

Fortnite's v19.20 update introduces several major pieces of content to the island, the biggest of which is arguably the new Covert Cavern POI. Located in the snowy mountains north of Camp Cuddle, Covert Cavern is a high-tech facility home to theMythic version of the Stinger SMG, which has increased power and recoil. The fan-favorite weapon being unvaulted is the Heavy Shotgun, although this new version differs quite a bit from the original. The Heavy Shotgun is now single slug, longer-range, and requires more accuracy, but can be found in all rarities anywhere.

In addition to the new POI and a pair of weapons, the v19.20 update unlocks Haven's Masks, part of Fortnite's Battle Pass. Locked behind a timed wall until today, players now have the chance to earn the characters various animal-inspired masks. This is done by collecting feathers in chests around the island, which can then be spent in the corresponding tab within the Battle Pass. Each mask requires a special themed quest to make it redeemable, like catching fish to unlock cat masks,
