The highly anticipated 15.30 update for Fortnite is finally here, and as expected, there is a ton of new content for players to explore. The update has not only introduced new POIs, skins, and weapons to the game, but laid the foundation for the ending of Chapter 2 Season 5.

Considering the two new skins are named Lovely and Cuddle King, it seems like this update’s theme centers on Valentine’s Day. Both the skins are a part of the Be Mine set, and players can claim the former for free through an upcoming tournament. Fortnite has a long history of celebrating February 14 with adorable skins and events, and from the looks of it, 2021 won’t be any different.

Bounty hunting has been pivotal in the current season, and the latest Mando’s Bounty LTM treads the same path. Players start out with three lives and collect galactic credits by simultaneously eliminating opponents and handling the Mandalorian. The first one to reach the destined credit goal wins the match. As a Victory Royale reward, the winner will receive the Beskar Umbrella skin.
