Jetpacks Coming To Fortnite Tomorrow
After its delay in March, fans have been asking when Jetpacks will finally make their way to the game's battle royale mode. It turns out that answer is May 22.
"Take flight to all new heights!" Epic teased in March, with promises that Jetpacks were coming soon. Sadly, they were delayed a day before their inclusion due to last minute design issues. It has seemingly taken the last few months to iron those issues out, as the jetpacks officially arrive with the 4.2 content update tomorrow.
Jetpacks are arriving as an item, and like most events in Fortnite is time-limited. You can start flying around using your flight machines starting May 22 at 8:00 AM ET.
Our Take
I really wonder what the initial problem was and how they fixed it. It'll be interesting to see if it becomes a more permanent mode, too.
