It also means that the Epic Games team have finally  released the patch notes for the 3.5 Content Update.

BATTLE ROYALE CHANGES

GAMEPLAY

• Limited Time Mode: 50V50 v2

          Two teams of 50 fight to the finish!

    Due to this being a “large squad” mode, Profile Stats will not be tracked. Daily & Weekly challenges will still work, with the exception of the Squad-based challenges (‘Place Top 6 in Squads’, etc.).

• Storm & Map

      Each team has a bus, approaching the island from opposite directions. On the map, the friendly bus has a blue outline, enemy has red.

        Final storm circle visible on minimap at start.

        Players have 10 minutes to loot the map as the storm closes in on the circle, then 5 minutes to fight, and another 5 minutes as the storm shrinks to the end.

        Supply drops come in batches of 3-6, fall every two minutes, and only land in the final storm circle.

        

        Added dotted line to map, which indicates the "battle lines" between the two teams. Crossing the line will make running into enemies more likely.

• Loot

       Farming resources increased 75% over default.

         Increased floor loot spawn likelihood by 15%   Floor  Loot spawns double ammo.

             Ammo boxes spawn triple ammo.

• Chests spawn double ammo & consumables.
• Suuply drops spawn double ammo, and an extra consumable, resource drop and trap.

• Bug Fixes + Mode Improvements
• Fixed a bug that created uneven teams where one side could have more than 50 players.
• Downed players lose health more quickly than normal (10 health per tick).

WEAPONS + ITEMS

• Light Machine Gun added.
• Rare and Epic rarities.
• Can be found in Floor Loot, Treasure Chests, and Vending Machines.
