Content Patch v7.20 - Sneaky Snowman?!

The last couple of weeks were very busy for Epic as they released Patch v7.20 and put on the epic Ice Storm event.

As often happens, Epic followed up the recent patch with a weekly content update. There were changes for Save the World and Battle Royale which were pretty great, but Fortnite Creative also got some love! This recent content update brought some vaulted weapons into Creative and a new item we're really excited about: The Sneaky Snowman!


SNEAKY SNOWMAN

It's a cool new wearable disguise not unlike the bush and can be found as floor loot or in chests or loot llamas. They drop in stacks of five and you can stack 'em up to ten.

Sneaky Snowman represent the "next level bush" because it has some advantages! Not only can you wear it, but you can throw it to create a destructible snowman to distract your opponents. Every snowman on the field could be a potential enemy... or they could be RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Jump scares don't work well in text. Oh well.

We're all really excited to see the influx of Sneaky Snowman-related minigame islands that are going to be popping up soon!

The Sneaky Snowman can be destroyed by shooting or pickaxing it to death. It starts with 100 health and when worn, it acts as a shield, granting the wearer an additional 100 effective health. Epic apparently though that was a bit OP, so they ensured that the snowman would also be destroyed if the wearer switches weapons or enters into building mode.
