Update v10.30

Update v10.30 of Fortnite was released on September 11th 2019 during Season X.
== Battle Royale ==
=== Gameplay ===
* Moisty Palms
** The Rift Beacon at Paradise Palms has created this new POI! In addition to its swampy nature, this Rift Zone is known for being a good place to keep a low profile.
** While in the Rift Zone, crouching will disguise players as a random prop. They can exit the prop state by using the Primary Fire button.
** Players are still able to take damage while in prop form.
** ADS lets players lock in place and look around for unsuspecting victims.
* Greasy Grove
** A Rift Zone has brought back Greasy Grove! But this time, Durrr Burger is out, and Tacos are in!
** Periodically, Spicy Tacos will rain down from the sky. Their smell is so overwhelmingly appetizing that players in the Zone can’t help but dance!
*** While dancing, players are invulnerable to damage from others and will regenerate health at 20 HP per second.
**** Dancing does not block Storm Damage or regenerate Health in the Storm.
** Spicy Tacos can be consumed for 10 Effective Health (sum of a player’s Health + Shield) and a temporary increase in movement speed (40% increase for 20 seconds).
*** The Spicy Tacos don’t last long — grab them before they expire!
** Community Choice
*** Players will get to vote on what’s featured in the Item Shop!
*** The first community vote starts this week. For more information about Community Choice, check out our blog post
=== Weapons + Items ===
* Vaulted the Burst SMG in all rarities.
* Unvaulted the Tactical Submachine Gun.
=== Art + Animation ===
* When players’ characters are near a wall, they will lower their weapon while in their idle pose.
** This is to reduce instances in which the hands of players’ characters appear through walls.
=== Audio ===

=== Mobile ===
* New Settings
** Building and Editing
*** Players can now adjust the touch sensitivity settings for both building and editing.

** Edit Confirm On Release
*** This setting will allow players to confirm an edit anytime they release their edit selection.
** Touch Acceleration multiplier
*** A value of 1 will have full touch look acceleration, and a value of 0 will have no touch look acceleration.
*** This is is not synonymous with sensitivity. Lower values do not necessarily translate to slower look speeds.
* New Button
** Edit Select Reset button
*** This button is located in the HUD Layout Tool.
*** This will reset the edit state of build pieces upon opening them for editing.
* Added 60 FPS support to the iPhone X.
* Updated autofire reticle to increase visibility when against high value surfaces.
* Autofire adjustments to Drum and Tactical Shotgun.

What's New?
Penny Hits the Road Part 2: This week, help Penny make her way to the Radio Station in this edge-of-your-seat sequel where things get a little bit weird. Load up the truck and gather your group because it’s time to Hit the Road with a new weekly quest.
Field Agent Rio Returns: Get ready to load up the Phase Cannon and Phase Blast the Husks! Field Agent Rio Returns to the Event Store!
=== Mission + Systems ===
* This week brings a special new quest to “Hit the Road” courtesy of Lars and his love of all things musical. Check your quest log for more information!
* Removed some of the potential enemy spawn directions from several amplifiers in the Twine Peaks Storm Shield Defense map.
** Removed “crossed” spawns that caused structures to be destroyed on Husk spawn. This made specific spawns very difficult to build enough defenses to survive certain waves.
* Dialog will now appear if players attempt to start a Storm Shield Defense mission while their Storm Shield fort is still being disassembled. The fort must be stable (no more ongoing edits) before a mission / wait for assistance action can be started.
* Pure Drop of Rain rewards for power level 140 missions have increased by 25%.
** Example: a 64 Pure Drops of Rain reward prior to this update will now reward 80 Pure Drops of Rain.
* For 4 Player Missions starting at power level 108, evolution material and PERK-UP rewards have been increased across the board. Some examples below:
** A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 168 Pure Drops of Rain in a power level 108 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 256 Pure Drops of Rain.
** A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 168 Pure Drops of Rain in a power level 140 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 320 Pure Drops of Rain.
** A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 164 Epic PERK-UP in a PL 108 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 204 Epic PERK-UP.
** A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 164 Epic PERK-UP in a PL 140 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 248 Epic PERK-UP.
** Note: These are just examples. You may find yourself earning more or less than these examples depending on mission objective performance. Review this blog post for more information!
