Fortnite players get access to update 28.30: The patch is available within a downtime – the servers have been offline since this morning. The first patch notes show what is changing in the popular Lego mode. It is now possible to make a fishing rod. “There are four levels of frequency that can be crafted. With a fishing rod that has a higher level of frequency, you will be able to land your catch more easily, but those with a lower level of frequency are easier to produce,” write the developers. You can make an ordinary fishing rod with a workbench at level 1. You unlock the required recipe by adding a rope to your inventory.
Build a fishing rod and catch fish
For the Epic Angel in turn, you need a workbench at level 4 and the corresponding recipe. This is available when you add a Frostpine Staff to your inventory. With your fishing rod you finally try to catch one of the new fish that are coming into play with Update 28.30 in Fortnite (buy now for €23.99), including Green Zappler, Blue Slurpfish and Volcanic Chili Fish. Which fish you have on the hook depends, among other things, on the biome, the body of water, the weather and the time of day. You shouldn't let legendary fish back into the water, because in an upcoming update there will be the possibility of displaying them.
New: the food processing station
New is the food processing station, with which you can process the fish you catch into fish fillets or produce smoked fish and sushi. You can get the recipe if you make something at the sawmill. By the way: To create a fishing spot on a body of water, it's best to throw some bait into the water. You get these from bait buckets, which are available in four levels of frequency that can be produced. Also new with Fortnite Update 28.30 are two new resources: sand (using a shovel in sandy areas) and glass (produced at a workbench). If you add glass to your inventory and have a workbench, you will receive this Binoculars recipe. The same applies to the new one Compass, which adds navigation to the HUD. With the Advanced Compass you can even add map markers to the HUD.
