Fortnite's v5.21 update brings in the Heavy Sniper Rifle and two limited-time modes

Another week's floated past and it's about time for you to get updating your Fortnite, folks. This time you've got a couple of new modes to goof around in, plus a brand new gun to take aim with.

Fortnite remains one of the biggest games in the world right now and it's in the process of trickling out on Android with players already diving in from last Thursday. While v5.21 isn't a huge update there's some neat stuff to sink your teeth into this evening.

Firstly, you've got the new Heavy Sniper Rifle which'll shred through pretty much anything. The damage with this bad boy'll be huge, but I'd assume its reload time will be seriously slow, otherwise this gun is going to need a buff.

Next are two new modes to get down with: Soaring 50's and Sniper Shootout. While both more or less self-explanatory, Soaring 50's features a twist on the usual 50v50 mode, focusing more on getting air than camping for kills.

Sniper Shootout, if you couldn't guess, unleashes you against 99 other competitors with only sniper rifles on the roster. Obviously, the Heavy Sniper's been added while the scoped Assault Rifle's been taken out.
