20 Jan Fortnite: Patch Notes 15.21, Predator Unleashed, Jungle Hunter Quests & More!
Fortnite just experienced the arrival of one ugly movie monster.
It was a quick turnaround for Epic Games after releasing Fortnite: Battle Royale patch 15.20 just last week. That update notably introduced an Easter egg, which hinted that iconic movie monster Predator crash-landed in Stealthy Stronghold. Two unlockable in-game Predator emotes then confirmed that the well-equipped hunter from another planet would soon arrive on Fortnite’s island. That premonition came true after patch 15.21’s downtime concluded early this morning. Predator is here, and he brought a slew of cosmetics to unlock and challenges for Fortnite fans to complete.

The antagonist of the 1987 John McTiernan-directed vehicle has joined the Fortnite Season 5 universe. Not only is he an unlockable cosmetic, but Predator is also a boss character who roams the jungles of Stealthy Stronghold. This alien hunter is the first boss of this season, and once defeated, he drops a Mythic gadget that most Predator-fans will recognize. It’s called Predator’s Cloaking Device, and the item grants temporary invisibility. He’s a bit troublesome to fight, considering that he uses the cloaking device, but focusing fire will get the job done.
Here’s is Predator’s complete set via HYPEX:

IO Guards Removed from Arena Mode
Epic Games responded positively to competitive player feedback regarding the pesky IO Guard non-player characters (NPCs). The developers announced yesterday that these in-game patrol characters would no longer exist in Arena Mode. Patch 15.21 was their opportunity to remove these NPCs and create a more level playing field. Have no fear; you can now drop on Misty Meadows and multiple other locations without suffering the IO Guard wrath. It’s a welcome change for competitive players, especially with a $3M USD on the docket for early-February.
