Update 17.30 will arrive in Fortnite next week in the first ever back-to-back-to-back update.

Every major update has new cosmetics and with 17.21 having none, we're almost guaranteed to get some. As Ariana Grande is anticipated and rumoured to be linked to the upcoming event, maybe we'll see some related cosmetics?

UPDATE: A couple of new cosmetics have been identified

It's unlikely any new weapons will arrive in this update, considering we just had the Plasma Cannon in update 17.21. However, we may see some adjustments to weapons including some being Vaulted or Unvaulted.
