Even though Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is just around the corner, there’s still some time left in the ongoing Star Wars season for us to enjoy.

This week’s news is part of it! Although it may not seem significant compared to larger events, it’s definitely going to garner much attention.

As a dedicated gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement about the latest addition to our favorite game with the Mandalorian Rising update! Let me walk you through all the new elements being introduced in today’s Fortnite upgrade.

Fortnite update today (22nd May): What changes in the patch notes?

Starting off with the big one, a new Mandalorian skin is being added to the game.

In the shop, you’ll find the Battle Attire of the Mandalorian Warrior, priced at 1,800 V-Bucks. You can purchase it there.

Besides being offered individually, it’s additionally included in the Champions of Mandalor bundle priced at 2,500 V-Bucks. This bundle will also contain the following items:

  • Vibrodagger & Personal Shield Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks)
  • Mandalorian Cape Back Bling (400 V-Bucks)
  • Beskar Forge Emote (300 V-Bucks)
  • Whistling Bird Salute Emote (300 V-Bucks)

In simpler terms, you’ll have the freedom to personalize the appearance of the Mandalorian character, by selecting various armor components to create a distinctive style that’s all your own.

Besides the new cosmetics, you can also expect some adjustments in the gameplay inspired by the Mandalorian series.

As a thrilled player, I’m excited to share that the iconic Amban Sniper Rifle and Mandalorian Jetpack are set to reappear in our game’s loot collection! To add more excitement, we’re also introducing the sleek WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistols to our arsenal. Can’t wait to get my hands on these new additions!

On the island, players can additionally hire Mercenaries from the Mandalorian faction to join their team. Four distinct roles are accessible: Heavies, Scouts, Supplies Specialists, and Medics.

Each Mandalorian type will have a specific ability to help you out in combat.

While that seems to be the bulk of the update, there will also likely be a few balance tweaks.

Additionally, you might notice some clues pointing towards the forthcoming Live Show which signifies the conclusion of the ongoing Fortnite season.
