Original article:
New Quests that require players to use an X-4 Stormwing have been added to the game files for Week 6. The plane, which was last seen in Battle Royale during Chapter 2 Season 5, recently received updates that changed the following stats:
- Damage on explosions: 50 (players) & 800 (structures)
- Players who exit the vehicle in-flight will now be ejected to the side instead of launching up into the air. Gliders can still be deployed.
- Impulse Grenades now launch the X-4 Stormwing.
According to a 3D artist who extracted the Stormwing's upcoming spawn locations from the files, the plane will be found in-game on the three floating runways that can currently be seen around the Island.
