Things are getting seriously smelly in Fortnite's version 4.4 update

We've already talked about how PUBG Mobile's huge update launched earlier today, but Fortnite's got one for us too. This time we're getting more gear, a new limited-time mode, and a few decent fixes for good measure.

In terms of new gear (aside from the Russell-like 8-bit outfit you can buy from the shop), you've got the new Stink Bomb to mess around with. Clear out rooms easy-peasy with this smelly grenade, and pick off your enemies like gnats. Laughing maniacally while doing so is optional, but recommended.

Of course, you can't actually smell anything. The gas just deals five damage every half-second, and with a nine-second duration that's not something you're going to want to hang around in.

You can also change things up a bit in Fortnite's newest mode: Final Fight. Rather than battling it out until the final circle, the storm circle stops after the third constriction, triggering a pulse-hammering countdown. With five teams of 20, the winners when the timer ticks down to zero are those with the most teammates.

Final Fight won't be around forever so get updating, folks, and happy fighting.
