One Piece was one of the most hotly anticipated collabs in the game's history, and it's safe to say that it's living up to the hype thus far.

So, with another iconic character coming to the game today, here's what's new in patch v43.10 in today's Fortnite update!

Fortnite update today (12 November): What changes in the patch notes?

The biggest addition in today's Fortnite update is the introduction of Buggy the Clown.

Becoming this week's boss, the captain of the Buggy Pirates will take to Buggy's Beachhead where you can take him on to earn the Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun.

But beyond his introduction today, v43.10 gets us ready for some more additions to come over the next week or so.

On Saturday 14 November, we'll get a boost to Cursed Sprites, giving you a chance to find rarer Sprite variants while you're carrying one. We'll also see Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG added to the loot pool after last week.

And one day later, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto will be arriving at Friendship Villa with the Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle being added to the loot pool, a third Map Fragment and a pirate-themed skin for Miku to fit with the theme.

They'll be joined by the Mini Miku Sprite which grants a Friendship Bubble when emoting with other players, the Suiplash which activates a healing smoke when you have low health, and a secret rare Sprite which grants regenerating Zero Point Dash charges.

And to round out the changes to the loot pool, some of this season's Exotic weapons will now be made available in chests, with one special chest on the map holding all of them at once.

Boss weapons, like Buggy's Special Buggy Ball, will now also be guaranteed drops, so make sure you take them on when you can!
