Here are all of the details of what is new in patch 3.0:
GENERAL
Major Improvements to Building!
Players can now build structures just about anywhere, even through trees, rocks and cars.
This allows you more freedom when building (no more pesky trees stopping your ramps).
Structural support still works the same way -- only terrain or other buildings will support your built structures, not objects you build through.
If you run out of materials while building, you’ll now automatically switch to the next material with available resources.
You can turn this feature off with the “Auto Material Change” option in the Game Settings menu.
You can now continuously place the selected building piece by holding down the Primary Fire button.
You can turn this feature off with the “Turbo Building” option in the Game Settings menu.
Battle Royale: Switching between building pieces is now much smoother, especially using console controls or under non-ideal network conditions.
New Orchestral Music Score!
The score was created by film composer Marco Beltrami (Logan, The Hurt Locker, etc.) and Pinar Toprak (Krypton TV series, additional composition for the Justice League film, etc.). The hour long score was recorded in Nashville with an amazing orchestra.
Save the World: All music has been updated with an entirely new soundtrack.
Battle Royale: The Login, Launch, and Lobby menus have updated remixes from the new score.
Added Color Blind Option
This can be found in the new “Accessibility” tab in the game's options.
There's a strength indicator so that you can find a level that works best for you.
Holding down the “Interact/Use” button when approaching a chest or downed ally will now automatically perform the action once in range.
This also works when reviving teammates.
Messaging now displays when party functionality has degraded due to server issues.
This includes being able to join parties and send invitations.
Easy Anti-Cheat protection added to Mac.
Improved the look & feel of the game window title bar, buttons and borders on Windows.
BUG FIXES
Fixed Auto-Run being cancelled when opening the map or inventory screens.
Inventory icons should no longer get stuck in a selected state after being dragged out of the inventory.
Improved CPU performance when activating overlaps, such as traps or triggers.
Optimized grass rendering to improve overall frame rate.
Fixed an issue where incorrect numbers could be shown if you enabled the “Show Net Stats” HUD option.
KNOWN ISSUES
Microphones connected to controllers will be muted when changing any audio volume.
Here is all the juicy details on the
weapons and items changes for Battle Royale fans!
Hand Cannon added.
Fires Heavy ammo.
Epic and Legendary rarity.
Found in Floor Loot, Treasure Chests and Supply Drops. Pump Shotgun behavior has been addressed. Firing the Pump Shotgun and quickly switching weapons will now require you to pump the Shotgun before the next shot.

Removed the Valentine’s Day skin from the Crossbow.
Adjusted Pistol drop chances in floor loot:
