Over 30 new Fortnite fish types could be coming in Season 3 Epic GamesOver 30 new fish have been found in Fortnite\u2019s game files, indicating that the mechanic is getting a major overhaul in Season 3. On top of the new species, a new Fishing String item has been uncovered, and new achievements pertaining to fishing. Fishing could be getting totally overhauled in Fortnite in Season 3. While the mechanic has been in the game since the start of Chapter 2, it\u2019s kind of stagnated in the last couple of months. With no new fish infiltrating the ocean, despite the map being flooded at the start of Season 3, there\u2019s no real appeal to throwing out a line \u2014 or a harpoon. However, that could change in just a few weeks. Fortnite dataminers have discovered over 30 new types of fish deep in the game\u2019s files. They include new variations of Floppers, Slurpfish, and Small Fries, as well as other fish yet to be added in any capacity. This includes some jellyfish-like creatures and pufferfish, which could soon be washing up on the shores of Fortnite. Some of the fish will also spawn in different areas of the map, much like real life. There\u2019s a lot of new fish there, so it could just be that some are reskins with no real purpose other than being a different color. However, dataminer HYPEX pointed out some new statistics for healing, duration, and radius that could indicate each individual fish will do something different. Some new variables: Fire & Hop Flopper.Heal = 15 Fire & Hop Flopper.Duration = 20secFlopperShield.Heal = 50 Default.FlopperJellyFish.Heal = 50 FlopperJellyFish.Radius = 500FlopperThermal.Heal = 15 FlopperThermal.Duration = 20secFlopperMiniGame.SizePercentileThreshold: 0.5 \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) August 5, 2020 There\u2019s also a new fishing rod titled \u201cFishing String\u201d in the files that players can use to catch their feed. New achievements and stats are also on the way, showcasing that Epic is committed to making fishing more enjoyable in Season 4, if not Season 3. The increased variety is sure to please a lot of players. It adds a bit more value to fishing than just casting a line and farming Floppers. You could snatch a game-changing catch with one of these new specimens coming soon. Fishing Strings added in v13.40: \u2013 First Catch! \u2013 New! \u2013 No. # \u2013 Personal Best! \u2013 # cm \u2013 Requires pro fishing rodFishing Details in this thread: \u2014 iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) August 5, 2020 There\u2019s no indication on when such a change will land. Just because it\u2019s in the game files after Patch v13.40 doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll come on v13.50. Sometimes it takes Epic weeks, months, or even seasons to add new content. Just look at the release of cars recently. One thing is for sure though. Fishing in Fortnite is about to get a whole lot more interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
