Falcon Scout And Bush Bomb

If you're skilled with it, the Falcon Scout can also be used for utility while in a fight too. Pick up downed players to either finish them off from a height or transport them to safety for a hasty revive. Click here to learn more about the Falcon Scout.
There's a new grenade in town with the Bush Bomb. This new item is capable of sprouting cover out of nowhere and is capable of blocking line of sight in a pinch. Click here to learn more about the Bush Bomb.

Here are all of the new Reality Augments added to Fortnite in v23.20:

Hired Characters Hitch A Ride
Fortnite v23.20 fixes a huge oversight that has bugged players for ages. Hired characters are now capable of riding along as passengers in vehicles, so there's no need to leave them behind any longer. Helsie and Raptorian the Brave will certainly thank you for bringing them along for the ride!
Competitive Notes
While new Reality Augments are arriving in Fortnite Battle Royale, not all of them are coming to competitive playlists. Epic Games has decided to leave 'Rarity Check' out of the Augment pool in competitive matches. It will only appear in standard lobbies.
