25 May Fortnite: Patch v16.50 — Dualies Return, Leaked Cosmetics, Bug Fixes

Find out what’s new in Fortnite patch v16.50!

Fortnite Battle Royale has entered the homestretch in Chapter 2 – Season 6. Since March, players have experienced new locations, a crafting system, vehicle mods and much more. Season 7 is due for release on June 8, meaning there are just two weeks left in this “Primal” stint.

Patch v16.50 marks the final update of Season 6. Epic Games provided some teasers on its @FortniteStatus Twitter account, including the return of a “fan-favorite” weapon and preparation for the final “Wild Week,” an in-game event that began three weeks ago. Let’s dive into the patch notes and see what the last hurrah has to offer.

Dual Pistols Return

The Dual Pistols have returned from the vault for update v16.50. Dubbed a “fan-favorite,” the Dualies exited Fortnite’s loot pool in Chapter 1 – Season 9. Aside from Limited Time Modes (LTMs), they had not reappeared in Battle Royale mode. That changed in Chapter 2 – Season 5 when Epic Games created a new Exotic weapon, known as the Hop Rocks Dualies. Players can still obtain this weapon in Chapter 2 – Season 6, and now they can use the original Dual Pistols.
