Hamster balls, free vending machines, yet another extension to the infinite dab: Fortnite patch v8.10 is here, and brings with it yet another wave of changes to the game. Sometimes I feel like I could blink and accidentally miss a Fortnite patch.
First up, if you’ve ever been out of pocket in Fortnite and wanted some goodies from the vending machine, you’re in luck. The material cost of items has now been removed, meaning vending machines have essentially become another form of loot chest. Each vending machine will now self-destruct once an item’s been claimed. Seems like they could do with some maintenance.
Those Jurassic World-style hamster balls, meanwhile, are indeed making their debut in this patch. They can be found at expedition outposts and near pirate camp loot stashes, and feature both a grappler and boost function to help players “swing through the trees”. Surprisingly the balls also provide players with a fair amount of protection: the vehicles have 300 health and prevent the player inside taking damage. Until the ball gets destroyed, of course.
