Fortnite update 17.30 patch notes: Ariana Grande, Grab-Itron, Slurpy Swamp Scramble Epic GamesFortnite update 17.30 is here and it\u2019s introducing some exciting new content, including the Ariana Grande Rift Tour concert and skin, the new Grab-Itron weapon, Slurpy Swamp Scramble, and more. Epic Games have been churning out new Fortnite patches in recent weeks. The previous one added a new weapon among other things. It\u2019s a great way to keep things fresh for players now that the game has entered its twilight years. However, update 17.30 looks like it\u2019s going to be even better than the last. Not only is it expected to finally introduce the Grab-Itron, which players have been dying to get their hands on for quite some time. It\u2019s also going to ramp up alien activity on the island and prepare the game for Ariana Grande\u2019s arrival. Here\u2019s everything we know so far. Fortnite update 17.30 patch notes Ariana Grande Rift Tour concert Fortnite leakers revealed that an Ariana Grande concert and skin were going to crash land in the Fortnite universe several weeks ago, and now both the Rift Tour and the accompanying skin have been confirmed. The latest update has added all the necessary files to the game, so now it\u2019s just a case of patiently waiting for the event to arrive. The Ariana Grande skin will be available at the following times and dates: 5 PM PDT (August 4) – 8 PM EDT (August 4) – 1 AM BST (August 5) – The concert will take place two days later on Friday, August 6 at 3 PM PDT \/ 6 PM EDT \/ 11 PM BST. Grab-Itron weapon After being teased and leaked countless times, the Grab-Itron was added to the code in previous updates. It still hasn\u2019t gone live yet, but that\u2019s expected to change in the latest patch. Much like a traditional gravity gun, the Grab-Itron weapon lets Fortnite players grab enemies and objects and sling them around the map.

If you get eliminated, you\u2019ll respawn right away and you\u2019ll be given a new loadout each time. To make things even more exciting, the non-player-made buildings at the location of battle will be more durable, and if one team gets too far ahead, they\u2019ll be marked and become visible behind wards until the margin has narrowed. More Suicide Squad crossovers? The previously-announced Bloodsport skin has now been added to Fortnite, but a new set of Sprays have teased that more Suicide Squad skins could be on the way. As well as a new Harley Quinn style, the Sprays hint that Peacemaker, King Shark, and the Polka-Dot Man might be joining the rest of the DC Comics characters on the Island fairly soon. Theres a high chance more Suicide Squad cosmetics are on the way!#Fortnite pic.twitter.com\/hMa9LdOU90 \u2014 Max \u2013 Fortnite Leaks & Info (@FNLeaksAndInfo) August 3, 2021 New skins react to music Here\u2019s a fun one to round out this update\u2019s patch notes.
