New Item: Buried Treasure
 
After weeks of speculation of its function, Buried Treasures has finally came. The official description of how this new item gonna work in Fornite Battle Royale is very simple, as you can see below:
 
Buried treasure: follow the map to uncover hidden loot across the island! Find the X that marks the spot and get to digging.
 
So, specifically saying, the Buried Treasure act like a treasure map used by pirates, directing players to the location of a buried chest, which can then be dug out and opened, granting players Legendary loot to help them on their quest for a Victory Royale. Players can only hold one map at a time and anyone who manages to find a chest will be rewarded with Legendary loot. Once you arrive at the target location, you need to dig up the chests using your pickaxe. These maps can be found from floor loot and chests.

Fornite always keep players appealed with new, interesting LTM. In this new mode, players will have ice blocks on their feet, with which they can slide all over the icy place. As you slide more quickly, the friction will greatly decrease, without the risk of falling down on the ground. In addition, you’ll be given a Grappler which has unlimited ammo to help you traverse the endless slipper world. Sounds pretty interesting, right?
 
Aside from the above two mention big features in updateV8.01, there are some balance tweaks. For example, the availability for the Infantry Rifle and Clinger has been reduced. Bottle Rockets have now been vaulted.
 
In Update v8.01, also fixes a bug wherein pressing the fire button with two fingers causes the fire action to continuously loop for Fortnite Mobile version.
