Fortnite has added bonus Styles in v19.01. Progress past Level 140 this Season to unlock the Photo Negative, Scarlet Blackout, and Gilded Reality Super Level Styles for Shanta, Ronin, Lt John Llama, Harlowe, and Spider-Man.
Fortnite has also fixed several bugs in the update including an issue that caused them to disable Split Screen. Split Screen is now re-enabled. The issue involving Reboot Vans sometimes not rebooting players if more than one teammate was interacting with the Van has also been resolved.
