Fortnite update 26.20 patch notes

Ahsoka Tano skin unlock

The most recent patch, 26.20, decrypts Ahsoka Tano’s additional cosmetics from the Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass. The cosmetic rewards can now be unlocked by accomplishing quests in the Quests Tab.

The cosmetic elements include a loading screen, emoticon, emote, pickaxe, and two selectable Ahsoka Tano skin styles. Battle Pass owners have until the conclusion of Chapter 4 Season 4 to unlock the skin.

Lightsabers and Rift Gates return

Additionally, the Ahsoka Tano quests reintroduce the cherished mythic Lightsabers to the Fortnite island. Epic Games has also introduced Ahsoka’s signature weapon, a white lightsaber, to commemorate her Disney+ series.

In addition, Rift Gates are now operational, enabling players to acquire Force abilities such as Push, Pull, Sprint Faster, Double Jump, and Throw. Depending on the Rift Gate you enter and the Star Wars NPC you interact with, the gates also bestow players’ lightsabers.

New augments

Each Fortnite update adds new augments to the island, altering the gameplay dynamics for players. With the release of update 26.20, two new augments that grant certain abilities have been added to the game.

The newly added Marksman Headshots augment deals increased headshot damage with Marksman Rifles and the Ninja Training augment grants increased movement speed while crouching, best to use in subterfuge while heisting Thorne’s properties.
