Fortnite 7.20 update PATCH NOTES: Sneaky Snowman, Shield Potions and Port-a-Fortress BLOW

Fortnite content update 7.20 has been rolled out for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android.

A follow-up to last week’s update, the new patch adds new items, a returning LTM and fix some minor issues.

Fitting in with the winter theme, content update 7.20 adds the Sneaky Snowman, which is a brand new disguise.

“Become a master of disguise,” reads the Sneaky Snowman patch notes description. 

Perhaps surprisingly, Epic Games has also vaulted one or two classic items.

This includes the Quad Rocket Launcher, the Port-A-fortress and the Grappler.
