After a month-long hiatus, Fortnite update 25.20 is finally here, and it's brought home some crossover skins as an apology.
Good news everyone! Fortnite has returned from it's summer hiatus with update 25.20 arriving today after some downtime (even if it was a day late). Speaking of things that went on a hiatus and returned within the last week, Futurama is back, and to celebrate, Fry, Leela and Bender have made their way to Fortnite alongside this latest update.
The Futurama X Fortnite crossover features skins for Fry, Leela, and Bender, with extra styles based on their alternate universe counterparts from the season four episode 'The Farnsworth Parabox' with Nibbler, Ben Rodríguez, and the glorious Hypnotoad making cameos as back blings. Not only that but Bender's Shiny Metal Raygun has appeared on the island as a special weapon, which will remain in-game until update 25.30.
Fortnite 25.20 patch notes
The following is the Fortnite Update 25.20 patch notes as posted by Epic Games on the Fortnite Website:
New Weapons
Benders Shiny Metal Raygun
On the Island ‘til v25.30, Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun can be found from the ground, or from Bender himself if you have the Bars. Fire an infinite supply of plasma with this weapon — but be careful because it'll overheat and need to cool down if you fire too much at once!

Mammoth Pistol
Like an ancient beast, the new Mammoth Pistol is big and powerful and at home in the Wilds. It’s a large-caliber, single-shot pistol that uses heavy ammo, meaning it’ll deliver a crushing blow if you land a shot!
Mammoth Pistols can be found not only in the Wilds but across the whole Island. Get one from the ground, Chests, Holo-Chests, or a flying drone.
New Reality Augments
Pistol Recycle
Timely for the Mammoth Pistol’s unleashing, v25.20 brings the Pistol Recycle Reality Augment! Activate this new Reality Augment and your Pistol shots will have a chance to cost 0 ammo.
Desperate Reload
Alongside Pistol Recycle, the Desperate Reload Reality Augment has been unvaulted! With this Reality Augment, your Pistols will reload faster when reloaded with an empty clip.
Scoped Salvo
In addition to the Pistol-related Reality Augments, Scoped Salvo makes its debut in v25.20! Activate Scoped Salvo for your scoped weapons to have increased damage (but a decreased fire rate).
Lever Action Shotgun Unvaulted
Turn the battle back to your direction with the Lever Action Shotgun! This unvaulted weapon can be found from the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, a flying drone, or claiming a POI.
To accommodate the return of the Lever Action Shotgun, the Maven Auto Shotgun is now currently only obtainable from Characters.
Flare Gun Note
Note: When the Firework Flare Gun was vaulted at the end of Summer Escape, the regular Flare Gun stayed vaulted. The Flare Gun remains vaulted in v25.20.
Competitive Notes
Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is not included in tournaments.
And that's everything included in Fortnite Update 25.20, there doesn't seem to be too many balance changes, but the new and unvaulted weapons should hopefully bring a bit of spice to the thus-far underwhelming Chapter 4 Season 3.
