Kevin's Floating Island is back and the new and improved Zapper Trap returns to Fortnite. Take a look at all of the Fortnite patch notes here.

The Fortnite v10.20 Content Update is here, bringing Kevin back to the game in the form of the floating island above Fatal Fields.

Here are some of the other changes listed in the patch notes.

Zapper Trap

The new Zapper Trap is here, and it doesn't seem like it's going to be very useful at first glance.

It takes up an inventory slot and only does 50 damage, so we will probably only see it used in niche situations, but that remains to be seen.

  • This item is a thrown consumable and occupies an inventory slot.
  • On impact, the thrown object deploys a damaging trap on both sides of a building piece.
  • Upon impacting terrain, it automatically builds a wall and then deploys a damaging trap on both sides of the wall.
    • The traps shock enemy players who are within a tile of their face.
      • Damage: 50
    • The traps have a 1-second deploy time before they can be triggered.
    • When triggered, the traps have a 0.5-second delay before firing.
    • After the traps have fired, they have a cooldown of 2 seconds before they can be triggered again.
  • Epic Rarity.
  • Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
  • Drops in stacks of 2.
  • Max stack size: 4.
