New week, new Fortnite patch. Epic Games has a very long streak of Fortnite updates, at least once a week, in which it includes new content, in addition to fixing some systems of the three Fortnite game modes to improve the user experience. This week comes a patch of those considered '' minor '', the patch 8.11, and then we will tell you their news.
As we say, this is a minor update, so there are not as many changes as in last week's patch. Of course, we have a new single-shot pistol and a new game mode that promises to bring joy to the most accurate players during the next few days.
Next, we tell you all the news of the patch 8.11 of Fortnite. Yes, El Boloncho returns after a brief period of disappearance, although its use will be limited.
New gun and game mode for Fortnite Battle Royale
The main new in Fortnite update this week it's the matchlock gun. It is a weapon with a single shot per magazine that, although it is very powerful, is quite slow, so we better be precise.

In addition, it arrives a new game mode called Single Shot, and you can imagine what the thing is about. This is a mode in which gravity has dropped considerably and we have to finish off the opponent with a single shot. In this mode, only marksman weapons are available.
