A new grenade is coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale.
The Chiller Grenade appeared in Fortnite’s news tab today with a description reading “Give your enemies cold feet with this winter blast!”
This could mean a number of different things. It’s possible the Chiller Grenade operates like its trap equivalent, giving people slippery ice blocks on their feet. Another possibility is that the grenade freezes enemy players in place, freezing them to the ground. This would be similar to the Boogie Bomb which makes players dance in place for a few seconds.
The Chiller Grenade will be added to the game as part of the v7.30 patch tomorrow morning. Downtime for the update begins at 4 am ET on Tuesday, January 29th. That’s when the Ice Storm Challenges end also and we (thankfully) will no longer have to fight Ice Legion monsters.
Season 7, Week 9 kicks off this coming Thursday as the season draws to a close. Season 8 will kick off after a couple week break at the end of February.
