Delulu Mode Gets a Wild Weapon Overhaul
Delulu mode is going completely wild this weekend with major loot changes that flip normal gameplay on its head. Epic Games has removed traditional weapons and added back old favorites that focus on throwables and utility items.
What’s Vaulted This Weekend
All the weapons you normally use are gone for now. Assault Rifles, Shotguns, and Pistols have been temporarily vaulted in Delulu mode. This means fights won’t end as quickly, and you’ll need to get creative with how you take down other players.
What’s Been Unvaulted
The new loot pool brings back some fan-favorite items that haven’t been around in a while. You will find Harpoon Guns for pulling enemies closer or launching yourself around. Grenades and Stink Bombs are back for explosive plays. You can also grab Rusty Cans and Candy to throw at opponents.
Longer Storm Circles
Storm circles now last longer in Delulu / Party Crashers LTM, which gives you extra time to explore the map and team up with random players. Some of the best moments in this mode happen when strangers decide to work together and cause chaos around the island.
Use this extra time to find a squad that matches your energy. Maybe you’ll spend the match dancing, or maybe you’ll team up to take down a bigger group. The longer circles make these spontaneous moments possible.
Demon Rush Melee Mayhem Changes
The Demon Rush mode is also getting updates this weekend that make melee combat way more accessible and fun. If you’ve been struggling to find good melee weapons or build strong combinations, these changes will help.
Rumi’s Empowered Sword Spawns More Often
Rumi’s Empowered Sword now has a higher chance of appearing when matches start. This powerful weapon is one of the best melee options in the mode, and you’ll see it more frequently in your games.
Cheaper and Easier Melee Weapons
Vending Machines across the map have been updated with better deals. Melee weapons cost less currency now, and when you buy from machines, you’re more likely to get perks that boost your close-range fighting. This makes it easier to build a melee-focused loadout without grinding for hours.
Better Augment Discovery
Finding strong Augments is now simpler thanks to improved drop rates. You can discover powerful combinations faster, which lets you experiment with different builds and find what works best for your playstyle.
These Fortnite weekend events are live very soon, so jump into Fortnite and take advantage of the changes before they’re gone on Monday morning!
