Fortnite v8.11 is now live, Flint-Knock Pistol and Impulse Grenades are back

Epic Games has decided to make some changes with Fortnite. After announcing the coming Flint-Knock pistol, they’ve also decided to make changes with their throwables. The Flint-Lock pistol seems very powerful, but also hard to handle. However, people are more excited about the return of the Impulse Grenade. 8.11 seems like just on point.

Flint-Knock Pistol
Knock, knock…who’s there? Flint-Knock, that’s who! Pick the perfect time and knock yourself or enemies back with this new weapon!

The Flint-Knock pistol is available in Different rarities, and that is Common and Uncommon only. Being tied to only two rarities won’t make this new weapon a big deal. Being powerful and having the ability to knock is not that good. To prevent knocking the shooter needs to crouch, while the knockback of the enemy player depends on the current distance.

However, we can see the return of the impulse grenades as a good thing. Without further ado, you can take a look at all the 8.11 patch notes below:

WEAPONS + ITEMS

  • Flint-Knock Pistol
    • Available in Common and Uncommon Rarities.
    • Found from Floor Loot.
    • Knocks back the shooter. Can also knock back the target if they’re close enough.
      • The closer you are to the target, the farther they get knocked away.
      • The shooter can crouch to prevent the knockback.
    • Close range damage: 86/90
      • Significant damage falloff.
    • Must reload after each shot.

  • Reduced the spawn rate of the Baller from 100% to 50%
