Fruit Battlegrounds Patch Notes Update 17 - July 2, 2024
The Fruit Battlegrounds update 17 has introduced Flame V2 legendary fruit that can be evolved from Flame fruit. Another quality-of-life update that makes me happy is the ability to hold the M1 attack instead of clicking all the time. Besides new content, developers have dedicated their time to implementing balancing changes and removing errors.
