Below you’ll find everything we know about Fortnite update 19.30 so far.

Uncharted crossover skins arrive
Epic Games recently began teasing twomajor crossover skinsby sending clues to creators. Shortly after, leakers unveiled that it was none other than Uncharted stars Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer.
There will be two styles available for each skin – one based on their video game looks, and the other based on the new live-action movie, where they’re played by Tom Holland and Sophia Ali.
Epic hasn’t confirmed a release date for the Uncharted skins yet, but they will definitely be released during this update’s lifespan (which is typically two weeks).
The ‘Buried Treasure’ Map is back
A previously vaulted Fortnite item known, the Buried Treasure Map, is making a comeback as part of the Uncharted collaboration – which makes sense given the treasure hunting themes of the movie.

Players will be able to use the Buried Treasure Map to find guaranteed Legendary weapons and items. They’ll be guided by a light in the sky and a red line that will take them straight to the goal.
IO Drills will start to cause earthquakes
According to leaker HYPEX, a new feature following the 19.30 update will be that IO Drills across the map can now be ‘felt’ by players – meaning there will be earthquakes that can damage your builds.
IO Drill Sites should now be marked on the map, too, so you’ll know where to avoid (or where to visit, if you’re interested in experiencing the new feature).
The IO’s driller(s) will be felt during the matches (not in comp), here’s what they’ll do:
– Earthquakes– If the player is near the drill site, the builds will get damaged/broken

UI updates
There have also been a couple of changes to the menu system that should make playing Fortnite a smoother experience. Firstly, there’s now an option to clear all locker notifications – which is long overdue.
Secondly, the start menu screen that lets you choose between Save The World, Battle Royale, and Creative has gone. Instead, you’ll now jump straight into the Battle Royale lobby when you load up the game.
