Now Playing: Fortnite Battle Royale - Full Mobile Match Gameplay
No matter what system you play on, Fortnite has something new for you to check out with its new update. Those who are in the ongoing Fortnite mobile test for iOS, however, can look forward to some platform-specific improvements.
Fortnite's 3.4 update is headlined by its new content--namely, the Guided Missile weapon and Sniper Shootout v2 mode--but there are other changes of note. As detailed in the patch notes, mobile players will now get a new message if they try to run the game on an unsupported device. It'll let you know specifically which iPhone and iPad models can run the game. There's also a message pointing out that the game doesn't support jailbroken devices.
Regardless of which iOS device you're using, you'll now benefit from 4X MSAA anti-aliasing, which should sharpen the look of the game. You can also use whispers and party text chat, and the way doors auto-open has been modified. Additionally, there's a new tutorial when you first play to explain the tap-to-swing controls.








Also of note is a new "game data download system" that Epic says should allow future updates to be "much smaller." You can grab a small update on the App Store, and when you open the game, a 1.8 GB update will download. During this process, you'll be presented with the screen above, which cycles through a series of images highlighting the key features of the game, tips on how to play, and an explanation of the basic controls.
Alongside these new features, a variety of mobile-specific bugs have been fixed. You can see all of the patch notes that only pertain to mobile below. Battle Pass owners also have new Week 6 challenges to now complete.
