Fortnite 3.02 is now being rolled out across PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android. (iOS users are still stuck in limbo.) Also known as the 15.30 update, the new Fortnite patch for today, February 2, adds a good chunk of content for players to check out.
Fortnite 3.02 Update Patch Notes and Datamined Files
As is now tradition, committed dataminers are quick to uncover what the new Fortnite 3.02 update adds and changes:
@FortTory discovered three new exotic weapons in the game files. These include the Burst Quad Launcher, the Chug Cannon, and the Frozen SMG. They all appear to be formidable guns, so it will be interesting to see how Epic Games adds them into rotation.

@FortTory has information on how the Madalorian LTM will work:
For the new Mandalorian LTM:
