The Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud return To celebrate the arrival of Son Gohan and Piccolo in Fortnite, two Dragon Ball-themed items will be making a return to the loot pool: The Kamehameha and the Nimbus Cloud! You can find these items by searching Capsule Corp capsules that fall from the sky. These powerful items won’t be around forever, so enjoy them while you can.

Fortnite Update V6.20 allows players to fly anywhere on the map using the Cube The Fortnitemares update that released for Fortnite Battle Royale on Wednesday, October 24 allows players to quickly fly around the map thanks to the new positioning of the Cube. The Cube, affectionately nicknamed Kevin by the Fortnite community, has made its way back to Leaky Lake, and is currently floating in the sky, with fragments of the island that used to sit in the middle of Loot Lake scattered above it. Thanks to this new arrangement, Fortnite fan and Reddit user ‘ImSpeedyGonzalez’ has discovered that by harnessing the power of the Cube, players can fly to any other location on the map, allowing for brand new rotations that were previously not possible in the game. ImSpeedyGonzalez explains that due to the island now being split into pieces around Kevin instead of hovering over him, players get bounced much higher into the air than before, while Leaky Lake’s fairly central position on the map gives plenty of options as to where they can travel to. All Fortnite fans need to do to make use of this new rotation method is stand on one of the island fragments in the sky, and fire a few shots at the Cube. Then, jump towards it, pulling out your glider. Due to you dealing damage to it, the Cube will fire a shot of lightning at you, thrusting you high into the air, letting you pull out your glider and soar away. Fortnite’s V6.20 update brought a brand new Limited Time Mode called Fortnitemares, along with a brand new weapon, and lots of leaked cosmetics thanks to data miners. The update is live and available right now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Fortnite 16.30 update patch notes: Neymar skin, new exotic bow, crafting changes Epic GamesEpic Games have released the Fortnite v16.30 update that’s bringing a new exotic bow to the loot pool, a new LTM with the Floor Restores, and quality of life changes to the Crafting system. Fortnite Season 6 has been a roaring success so far, with a bunch of new features like tameable wild animals, a crafting system for making powerful weapons, and a bunch of map changes including new POIs like The Spire and Colossal Crops. But Epic aren’t stopping there, as another new update has just arrived. In v16.30, players can expect to see the long-overdue arrival of football superstar Neymar Jr, as well as some brand new LTMs and Creative Mode changes. You’ll also be glad to know that the Spire Quests have been fixed, as some players were facing a bug that stopped them from completing the challenges. Take a look down below for everything from the v16.30 patch downtime to what’s expected to come when the official patch notes are released. When is the Fortnite v16.30 update? Downtime details As previously announced by Epic Games, downtime for the 16.30 update began on Tuesday, 27 April, at 4AM ET (9AM BST) with matchmaking being disabled shortly before then. This update isn’t as big as previous ones, so it hopefully shouldn’t take you too long to download. The update sizes for each platform are as follows: PS4: 3.3GB – PS5: 2.4GB – Xbox: 2.3GB – Xbox One: 2.3GB – Switch: 1.5GB – PC: 1.38GB – As usual, Epic Games prepared their Fortnite players for the game to go down for around an hour to get the v16.30 patch live on the servers. Fortunately, downtime is now over, meaning you can jump right in. Fortnite v16.30 patch notes Neymar Jr. skin arrives! This is definitely the highlight of this latest patch: After weeks of teasing, Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. finally arrives in Fortnite with the v16.30 update. Players will need to complete a new set of quests to unlock the sports icon and his matching cosmetics, which include a back bling and pickaxe. You can find out how to unlock Neymar Jr. right here. Neymar Jr. LTM: Soccer Ball As well as the football pro himself arriving on the Island, Neymar Jr. is getting his own themed limited-time mode called Soccer Ball. Players will compete in an 8v8 showdown where eliminating other players will give Gold Bars as a reward. This can then be used to upgrade equipment. There will also be infinite respawns. New Unstable Bow exotic weapon Following in the footsteps of the Grappler Bow, which went live during the v16.20 update, a brand new exotic weapon has been added to Fortnite. It’s called the Unstable Bow, and the name seems very appropriate. The official weapon description reads, “A bow that fires… something”. When fired, it will either launch a Fire Arrow, a Shockwave Arrow, a Grenades Arrow, or a Stink Arrow, which sounds pretty fun. Unstable Bow! Description: “”Bow that fires…. something! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯””It will one of these randomly: Fire Arrow, Shockwave Arrow, Grenades Arrow or Stink Arrow pic.twitter.com/lbS0xDLNuy — HYPEX (@HYPEX) April 27, 2021 The Floor Restores LTM We don’t know much about this limited-time mode yet, but Epic have teased that players will need to “stay low and stay safe” in the new Floor Restores LTM.

Fortnite update v13.30: Epic reveals fixes in next patch Epic Games[jwplayer Puy4UiEa]Epic Games have revealed a full list of bug fixes that are coming in the V13.30 patch with a few annoying issues finally becoming things of the past. When Fortnite burst onto the battle royale market, Epic were continually praised for their constant updates that gave the game a fresh coat of pain. These patches regularly introduce new weapons, new map locations, and address any outstanding problems in the way of bugs and exploits. Though the updates are no longer as regular as they used to be, players are gearing up for the V13.30 patch that should see the introduction of the previously teased cars. Yet, before we see some new items being released, Epic have confirmed a list of bug fixes that are coming in the next update. On their public Trello board, the developers have a handful of bugs labeled as ‘fixed in next game update’ meaning that these will be addressed in V13.30. These include Whirlpools being disabled, gliding not working around The Authority, Floating Rings not appearing for some players, and Supply Drops not opening at The Authority. So, it is a pretty varied list. On top of those, the black rectangles that some players have seen in the storm will also be a thing of the past while there are also some bug fixes coming for both Save The World and Fortnite mobile. Of course, these are only the fixes and changes that we know about. As noted, cars should also be introduced with the new update given that leakers have previously revealed that they’d be released around July 21. There could also be a return for the Heavy Assault Rifle after it was spotted in the trailer for the Black Manta skin. However, that is pretty much a case of wait and see, so we won’t know if it returning until closer to new patch day.

Fortnite update v13.40: Fixes coming in next patch revealed Epic Games[jwplayer Puy4UiEa]Epic Games have revealed a full list of bug fixes that are set for the upcoming V13.40 patch, as a few annoying issues are set to be rooted out and consigned to the bin. With each passing Fortnite update, Epic Games usually showers their battle royale title with new content. In recent updates, we’ve seen map changes as well as a whole boatload of fresh cosmetics for players to get their hands on. However, these updates usually bring bugs and errors as well. These can be something as simple as having the food items glitch out and not provide any boosts. Though, others are bigger issues and can also cause the game to freeze up or crash altogether. As the release of the V13.40 patch is approaching, with many fans expecting cars to make their arrival on the island, the devs have revealed what bugs they are going to root out and finally address. The early alert to the changes comes courtesy of Epic Games’ public Trello board, where four battle royale-centric issues are confirmed to be getting changes. These include the XP bar not showing up correctly when you level up during a game, not having your Top 25 placing count if you drop at Frenzy Farm or The Yacht, and Ocean’s Bottomless Chug Jug not recharging if another player touches it. On top of those, the devs are also addressing a minor issue where, when playing on PC with a controller, you might see a mouse cursor appear on your screen. A small issue, but an annoying one for players who have seen it. There are other issues that could be fixed and shipped with the new update, including problems with the speed of gliders after redeploying, but they haven’t been confirmed just yet. As the update day approaches, we’ll just have to see what Epic Games ships in terms of any other bug fixes and just overall new content. It is sure to be an interesting patch.

Fortnite update unvaults two fan-favorite weapons & changes loot again Epic GamesEpic Games announced that a new Fortnite update has unvaulted two fan-favorite items – the Tactical Shotgun and the Infantry Rifle – while also changing up the game’s loot so that even more Crafting Parts and classic weapons spawn in the world. Ever since Fortnite Season 6’s launch, fans have been complaining about the rate at which Crafting Parts appear. These parts are used to upgrade Makeshift weapons into either Mechanical or Primal weapons, and they’re detrimental to your survival in the long-term. Now, Epic has released a new update for Fortnite that, amongst other things, changes up how much the parts spawn. Most notably, the developers have doubled the chance of the parts spawning as floor loot. In addition, the chance of cars dropping Mechanical Parts has been increased by 50%. Epic has also unvaulted both the Tactical Shotgun and the Infantry Rifle. The former has been vaulted ever since Season 6 started, while the latter hasn’t been in the game since Chapter 1 of the game’s life, getting vaulted at the started Chapter 2 Season 1. Read More: Fortnite lawsuit reveals The Rock, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande skins, Metroid crossover, more – Both the Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle come in Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities, so their inclusion will add a ton of potential to the Fortnite island. It’s unknown if either of these weapons will be craftable using a Makeshift Rifle and Mechanical Parts. ✅ Two favorites return! Unvaulted the Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle ✅ Doubling chance of Crafting Parts in floor loot (again!) ✅ Mech Parts dropped from cars increased 50% ✅ Improved loot chances for fish spots, Supply Drops, and Bunker Chests – favoring Classic weapons pic.twitter.com/O2gnsHj4Yh— Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) May 3, 2021 Finally, Epic has also changed up the loot pool for Fishing Spots, Supply Drops, and Bunker Chests. According to them, they will now favor Classic weapons more than Primal ones, meaning players should see more Mechanical Rifles, Pump Shotguns, and Mechanical Submachine guns, as well as the aforementioned Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle. Luckily, these changes will be available the next time you boot up the game, with no actual download or update needed on any platform. The next major update for the game has not been announced.

Fortnite update patches wall exploit and changes Search & Destroy LTM Epic GamesThe Fortnite 11.50 update introduced a game-breaking bug that allowed players to completely phase through walls, but Epic Games have now solved the problem. As part of the February 5 update, Fortnite moved to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics engine system, which ended up creating a plethora of bugs. Perhaps the most game-breaking of the bugs was one that allowed players to completely phase through a wall if they ran into it long enough. Obviously, this is a major problem in Fortnite since building makes up a large part of the game. Considering the significance of this issue and the attention it was getting on social media and Reddit, Epic got to work and fixed it in a timely fashion. We released a fix to address players being able to phase through their builds. Thank you for your reports! pic.twitter.com/qLnvtVwdri — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) February 6, 2020 Epic made another change shortly afterwards, but it was more of a quality of life improvement than a bug fix. The new Search and Destroy LTM, added as part of the Love and War event, was reduced from a best-of-11 to a best-of-seven, meaning teams now only need to win four rounds to claim victory. This change was because the Love and War challenges require players to play the S&D LTM and complete various objectives, and players were getting frustrated by how long some matches were taking. Considering one of the challenges is to play a certain amount of matches, players will appreciate this more shortened approach to it. Of course, they will still have to purchase items from the Vending Machines and earn gold, so they’ll end up probably playing several games anyway. Search and Destroy Update: We’ve adjusted match length to Best of 7. pic.twitter.com/LtoCQg9EEs — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) February 5, 2020 The Love and Wars challenges unlock gradually, with all of them becoming available on February 9. They will be around until February 17, so players have plenty of time to grind them all out for some free cosmetics. This will, in all likelihood, be the last major event of Chapter 2: Season 1, as Epic have announced that Season 2 will be kicking off on February 20 after it was recently delayed.

Fortnite v9.40 Update patch notes – Tactical Shotgun variants, weapon unvault, and more Epic Games have officially released the Fortnite v9.40 update, with the new patch going live on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. With Epic Games taking a two week summer holiday, fans of the popular battle royale title have had to make do with Content Updates, smaller patches that only add one or two items, instead of the larger updates which often make major changes to the game. Epic Games are now back at work, so it comes as no surprise that the v9.40 update is one of the biggest we’ve seen in Season 9, bringing two new versions of one of the game’s most legendary weapons, plus a host of bug fixes which should improve gameplay. What’s new in the Fortnite v9.40 patch notes? When does Fortnite’s v9.40 update go live? The v9.40 update is slated to go live on Wednesday, July 17 at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST. The patch will require downtime to install, so matchmaking should be disabled 20-25 minutes prior to the scheduled release time. Since this update is likely to be a large one, expect the downtime to last for several hours, so make sure to plan your schedule accordingly! The v9.40 update is closing in! Downtime begins tomorrow, July 17 at 4 AM ET (0800 UTC). — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 16, 2019 Epic and Legendary Tactical Shotgun The headline addition to Fortnite in the v9.40 update is the introduction of two new versions of the Tactical Shotgun. The weapon has been a staple of the game since its launch in September 2017, and players will now have two updated versions of the gun to wield in search of Victory Royales. The Epic and Legendary rarities will deal a maximum of 83 and 87 damage respectively, holding eight shells and firing off 1.5 shots per second. The two variants feature a complete redesign, giving them a more dangerous look than the classic red versions players have become accustomed to.

While nothing concrete has been announced about the new weapons, they’ll likely sport the high fire-rate that Tac Shotguns are known for with an increased damage profile.

The countdown for Fortnite’s Cattus vs Doggus event is underway.

Fortnite update 30.30 patch notes: New Deadpool skin, Cybertruck & Fall Guys collab Epic Games/DexertoThe new Fortnite update v30.30 brings Tesla’s Cybertruck vehicle to the Chapter 5 Season 3 island alongside Fall Guys assets to UEFN and a new Deadpool skin rumored to arrive soon. Fortnite officially announced that Cybertruck will be added to the game on July 23 as part of update 30.30, leaving players to wonder if it’s an actual vehicle or just another cosmetic skin for existing ones on the island. However, now that the update is out, it brings some important info regarding the vehicle, Fall Guys assets to UEFN, and new cosmetic skins including a comic version of Deadpool & Wolverine. Alongside that, a new Rocket Racing season has also arrived which adds new tracks and vehicles into the game. Since there’s a lot of content to go through, here’s a full rundown of the patch notes. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 update 30.30 downtime details Fortnite update v30.30 was released on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 5 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 12 PM BST. Downtime for this update has ended and the servers are live, so you can jump back in whenever you want! Fortnite July 23 update v30.30 full patch notes Tesla Cybertruck vehicle and Summer Road Trip quests Fortnite released a teaser video for Cybertruck’s release on July 22 in which the vehicle can be seen dragging an IO tank, a War Bus, and a pickup truck. There have been leaks in the past that have hinted towards the vehicle just being a cosmetic skin, unlike any Rocket Racing vehicles in the Item Shop. Now the 30.30 update finally confirms that the Cybertruck is indeed a cosmetic skin for vehicles in Fortnite and a vehicle in Rocket League. The vehicle can be claimed for free by completing Summer Road Trip Quests either in Fortnite or Rocket League as Cybertruck will be made available across both games. Fall Guys drops into UEFN Fortnite’s Creative X account posted a glimpse of Fall Guys assets in UEFN that were initially set to arrive in May 2024. However, this content has finally arrived where UEFN creators can now make islands and obstacle courses with Fall Guys assets. Moreover, every Fortnite skin will be converted into a Fall Guys Bean character on the island automatically, similar to their LEGO styles. Hundreds of Fall Guys character styles will eventually be rolled out for existing Fortnite skins. The Fall Guys collab will also add a Battle Royale gameplay event similar to the Mothership event in Chapter 2. Players will be converted into Fall Guys bean characters, according to a leak, and will compete in an obstacle course for loot. New Rocket Racing season The 30.30 Fortnite update also brings a new season of Rocket Racing called Inferno Island. The season adds five new Epic-made tracks, a new Lockjaw Starter Quest Pack, and a new Casual Racing playlist in case you’d like more chilled-out races. It also resets your Ranked Racing ranks and brings a new set of quests to complete in exchange for free rewards and XP. You can read the full patch notes for the new Rocket Racing season right here. Adidas Streetwear skins collab Fortnite has partnered with Adidas to bring six exclusive skins to the Item Shop. This collab brings a new Streetwear design to skins along with customization options that allow players to experiment with different patterns and color combinations. You can read all about how to get the Adidas skins and their prices in Fortnite right here. New Deadpool and Wolverine skins With the ongoing hype around Marvel Studios’ film Deadpool and Wolverine, Fortnite is releasing comic variants of the characters as skins once again in the game. Previously, Deadpool and Wolverine skins were available in Chapter 2 via Battle Pass rewards, but resembled Fortnite’s contemporary design. Since players wanted Epic to bring back those outfits, it’s actually rare that Fortnite re-releases a Battle Pass skin. Hence the comic variants of the characters and more items will soon be released in the Item Shop right around the film’s release on July 26. New skins and August Crew Pack Data miners such as HYPEX have unveiled more skins that were added to the game files and will make their way to Fortnite soon. These include four new original character skins and the August Crew Pack skin that will be announced in the coming days. Furthermore, assets to a collab with Alan Walker were also found in the game files hinting at a cosmetic skin and more items coming to Fortnite in the future.

There are three styles namely Expressionist, Prismatic Terazzo, and Glasswork available for five Battle Pass outfits. The skins that haven’t received the super level styles are Peter Griffin and Underground Jones.

Map changes Fortnite update 28.10 also brings a significant change to the Chapter 5 Season 1 map by melting the snow that Winterfest 2023 brought upon the island. Certain POIs that were once completely covered with snow will now see a change in the biome. New weapons and items Two new items, the EMP Stealth Camo and Cardboard Box, that was seen in the Chapter 5 Season 1 trailer are finally here and players will get to choose stealth as their strategy to infiltrate Society Mansions on the map. Even though the EMP Stealth Camo has a cooldown, it has unlimited uses to help make obscuring a long-term strategy. You can’t attack while the EMP Stealth Camo is active, but you can disable it early by unequipping it, swapping to another item in your inventory, or simply deactivating it. Upon disabling the device, you’ll unleash an EMP effect, damaging enemy Shields and bringing nearby vehicles to a stop. Furthermore, you can now hide in a Cardboard Box to blend in with the environment. You don’t have to sit still in a Cardboard Box, so try using it to advance secretly. Weapon unvaults The Anvil Rocket Launcher has been unvaulted with the new update. Lock onto a vehicle target and fire a rocket in its direction. Anvil Rocket Launchers are findable from the ground and Chests and are for sale from Mecha Team Shadow in exchange for Bars.

Fortnite Festival also received numerous fixes with Jam Tracks for three more Lobby Music items as well as some gameplay improvements. Balance Changes The Enforcer AR has received a slight increase in bullet speed, damage, and headshot damage (and a reduction in bullet drop). This AR was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options. – The Reaper Sniper Rifle has received a slight reduction in bullet speed (and an increase in bullet drop), as many Reaper snipes were too easy to land with little counterplay. – The Hyper SMG has received an increase in overall accuracy via a tightened bullet spread. Like the Enforcer AR, this SMG was lagging and needed a boost to compete with other weapon options. – The Ballistic Shield has received a slight decrease in damage required to stagger the holder. This loadout option was often too powerful compared to others, especially in Zero Build. – Storm circle speed, sprint speed, and Energy regeneration have been reverted to match the same speed from Chapter 4. These reverted speeds better fit the current ideal pace of Fortnite BR. – Miscellaneous changes Fixed an issue where players could sometimes be randomly eliminated in Snooty Steppes while walking along the cliffside. – Fixed an issue that could cause your crosshair to flick in another direction while you were sliding and aiming down sights with a scoped Sniper Rifle. – FOV Slider added to customize minimum and maximum settings. – Fixed an issue where using the same Emote as a nearby player could result in you facing the wrong direction. – The EMP Stealth Camo, Cardboard Boxes, and Anvil Rocket Launcher are not included in tournaments. – That’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite patch update 28.10.

Fortnite update 28.01.01 patch notes: Movement changes, LEGO Fortnite hotfix & more Epic GamesFortnite has now released a v28.01.01 update that brings significant changes to movement and other game modes. Here are the patch notes. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 went under a Winterfest update in the past week that added some holiday season vibes to the island. Players are completing the themed challenges and opening presents to get free rewards in the game. However before Epic Games goes on a company-wide winter break, another update has now arrived in Fortnite that addresses and fixes various issues with Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and other game modes in a comprehensive manner.

So if you’re wondering what’s new in the recent 28.01.01 update, here are the patch notes. Fortnite update 28.01.01 downtime details Fortnite update v28.01.01 was released on Tuesday, November 19, 2023, at 4 AM PT / 6 AM ET / 12 Noon BST. Downtime for this update has ended and the servers are now live, so you can jump back in whenever you want! Fortnite update 28.01.01 patch notes Movement changes After much backlash, Epic finally made adjustments to movement animations and speed in Chapter 5 Season 1. In the official blog post, they said: Movement speed has been increased when crouching, and running. We also reduced camera movement and adjusted the change in view while sprinting to encourage a smoother experience. Plus, we updated the movement animations to better match the adjustments in speed. To help you get adjusted to these updates, we’ve reset everyone’s “Custom Diagonal Movement” settings, so please log in and reconfigure your settings to what feels best. Visibility and Readability improvements Society Medallion icons now stand out more on the map and should be easier to spot at a glance. Epic also reduced the visual noise present in the minimap when several Medallion zones are near one another, especially in the later Storm circles. They have also brightened certain areas of the map where it was a little too dark during the night. The visibility of the Storm’s edge has been improved so it’s more apparent how close it is, as per the community’s request. Weapon icons change Epic said that they were aware of feedback that the Frenzy Auto Shotgun and the Thunder Burst SMG weapon icons were too similar, making it hard to differentiate them. These icons have now been updated to be more visually unique and legible so players can easily find and store them in their loadout. LEGO Fortnite changes When it comes to the most popular ongoing game LEGO Fortnite, Epic has now increased the max stack size for items from 30 to 50. This comes as one of the most useful fixes to the game for many players who complained about low inventory size in survival mode. Furthermore, food will now be more fulfilling, which means your LEGO Fortnite character won’t get hungry too often. There were additional fixes made to the game with the current patch. Here are all of them: Fixed a bug that might have made you lose your items after being eliminated in the transition between aboveground and belowground. – The durability of non-Rare/non-Epic tools and weapons has increased by 30%. For Rare/Epic tools and weapons, the durability has increased by 60%! – Reduced damage of the Brute’s Poison area for all three Brutes. – Reduced damage of the Frost Scorpion explosion. – Sand Scorpions, Scorpions found in caves, regular Scorpions, Crabs on the shoreline, Sand Spiders, and Alpine Frost Spiders are slightly easier to defeat. – Rams now give Heavy Wool. – Grapplers now hold 30 charges. – Spiders won’t jumpscare you as often when turning over rocks. – Rocket Racing changes Epic has also made significant changes to Rocket Racing mode that make it easier for Fortnite players to enjoy the adrenaline and win races. Here are the changes made: Work going on incremental improvements to help players get into their races faster. – Car-on-car collisions have been a major topic among players, especially when a bump from behind spins the car 180 degrees. Today’s update makes those collisions a bit less punishing and should help keep the player’s car facing the finish line. – The Reach Gold rank in Rocket Racing Quest to unlock the Jackie Outfit was rewarding players for reaching Gold II instead of Gold I. Epic has patched this so that racers who have hit Gold I now just need to complete one full race to complete the Quest and receive the Jackie Outfit. – Fortnite Festival changes While many didn’t expect much change with Fortnite Festival, it also received some significant fixes with the current patch. Here are the fixes made: Fixed an error that caused players to see an empty song library in the Main Stage after suspending Fortnite on their device. This should also improve the pauses some players encounter before a song starts. – Fall damage has been disabled in the Main Stage’s Backstage. – Disabled the “Restart Song” functionality (available to Solo players) temporarily. – Fixed an issue where some scores may have been posted to the wrong leaderboard. – Battle Royale balance changes Here are all the significant changes made to the Battle Royale mode in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Flowberries now grant more Shield. – Increased damage for the Ranger Pistol, Shield Breaker EMP, and Ballistic Shield’s pistol. – Snowball Launcher mag size reduced. – Thunder Burst SMG mag size increased. – Reduced the drop rate of the Reaper Sniper Rifle. – Striker AR deals less damage. – The circle indicating a Society Medallion holder is smaller. – Society Medallions now have a brief delay before Shield regen begins.

In addition to the NPC, you’ll also find a pair of Cloak Gauntlets, created from reflecting Kinetic Ore and functioning similarly to the Predator’s Cloaking Device by temporarily rendering you invisible for a set period of time when used. This item has a cooldown period, after which it can be used indefinitely for the remainder of the match. After defeating Wildguard Relik on the Fortnite island, players will obtain the Cloak Gauntlets and a Mythic variation of the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, the game’s strongest assault rifle with an attached red-dot sight. Ranks reset in Ranked Mode In preparation for the next season of Ranked Mode, all player ranks have been reset to the beginning with the latest patch.

Competitive Ranks In addition, the update includes the eligibility criteria for this season’s competitive tournaments, which means that players must achieve a particular rank in the Ranked mode before entering a Fortnite tournament. Miscellaneous Updates Minor hotfixes were also implemented alongside the larger upgrades, and these included the vaulting and unvaulting of a number of items and weapons.

Fortnite update 24.01 patch notes: Downtime details & what’s included? Epic GamesFortnite update 24.01 has arrived, but what’s included with this patch? Let’s find out. It’s only been a couple of weeks since Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 started, but Epic Games is already launching a mid-season update for the game. These patches usually add new weapons, make map changes, or deliver new quests to complete, but the 24.01 update is a little bit different as it doesn’t seem like there’s much changing at all. We’ve rounded up everything we know about Fortnite update 24.01 below. Fortnite update 24.01 downtime details Downtime for the 24.01 update in Fortnite began at 1AM PT / 4AM ET / 8AM GMT on Monday, March 20, 2023, and lasted just under two hours. Fortnite is back online now, so you can jump in whenever you want! Fortnite update 24.01 patch notes Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) According to leaker Shiina, the main reason for this 24.01 update is to add the “final touches” for Unreal Editor for Fortnite, the long-awaited PC application for creating new games and experiences for Fortnite. It’s set to launch on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, so there’s not long to wait now! “Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) is a new PC application for designing, developing, and publishing games and experiences directly into Fortnite,” explained Epic Games in a blog post about the new application. “With many of Unreal Engine 5’s powerful tools and workflows at your fingertips, including custom asset import, modeling, materials and VFX, Sequencer and Control Rig, you’ll have a whole new world of options for producing and publishing games and experiences for Fortnite that can be enjoyed by millions of players.” Bug fixes for Xbox Series S The official Fortnite Status account on Twitter has confirmed that bugs involving 120 FPS and Splitscreen mode on Xbox Series S were fixed during downtime. And that’s it! It seems like there won’t be any new skins or cosmetics added in this update. It also doesn’t look like there have been any map changes or weapon changes either. Considering this was a 24.01 patch rather than a 24.10 patch, it makes sense that it’s just a small update. Fingers crossed that the next update is a bigger one.

Tilted Towers is now Tainted Towers Following the 22.40 update, Tilted Towers is now known as Tainted Towers.

Fortnite update 22.10 patch notes This season’s Super Styles are nearly here If you’ve already unlocked your favorite skins in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass, you’ll be glad to know that this season’s Super Styles are being added to the game with the 22.10 update.

A new weapon arrives: The Cobra DMR! The DMR has been vaulted with the 22.10 update, but in its place is the brand new Cobra DMR. It fires faster and has a higher clip size than the regular DMR, although there’s slightly more recoil to manage. You can find Cobra DMRs on the ground, in Chests, in Supply Drops, by fishing, by defeating Loot Sharks, and by harvesting Reality Sapling Fruit. Use keys to unlock Holo-Chests The current season of Fortnite introduced players to locked Vaults that require keys to open them, but the 22.10 update has now added another way to use those keys: Holo-Chests! Holo-Chests can be found around the map and they display what’s inside so you know whether it’s worth using your keys. Find a two-key Holo-Chest and it’s guaranteed to have an Exotic weapon inside. Grapple Gloves have returned Grapple Gloves were vaulted at the start of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, but they’re making a temporary comeback following the 22.10 update. You can find Grapple Gloves on the ground, in Chests, in Supply Drops, or in Legendary and Mythic Reality Sapling Fruit. They won’t stick around for long, though, so enjoy them while you can! The Boogie Bomb is getting vaulted You might have been surprised to see the Boogie Bomb remain after the new season launched, but it’s not sticking around for long as Epic Games have confirmed it’s being vaulted with the 22.10 update. Sweat-Free Wrap freebie In response to “issues” during the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 launch, Epic Games are gifting players with a Sweat-Free Wrap for free. You should get it when you log into the game after updating. Fortnite update 22.10 bug fixes There are quite a few bug fixes that will be shipped with the 22.10 update. You might not always notice them, but they’re essential to keeping the game running smoothly for everyone.

It’s hard to believe that Fortnite Chapter 3 has been around for over two months now – and even harder to believe that we’ve only had two big updates in that time.

There will be two styles available for each skin – one based on their video game looks, and the other based on the new live-action movie, where they’re played by Tom Holland and Sophia Ali. Epic hasn’t confirmed a release date for the Uncharted skins yet, but they will definitely be released during this update’s lifespan (which is typically two weeks). The ‘Buried Treasure’ Map is back A previously vaulted Fortnite item known, the Buried Treasure Map, is making a comeback as part of the Uncharted collaboration – which makes sense given the treasure hunting themes of the movie.

The IO’s driller(s) will be felt during the matches (not in comp), here’s what they’ll do: – Earthquakes – If the player is near the drill site, the builds will get damaged/broken— HYPEX (@HYPEX) February 15, 2022 Peely and Bushranger skins get a ‘Toon’ makeover Following in the footsteps of Toon Meowscles, two other iconic Fortnite original characters are getting the stylish black-and-white ‘Toon’ makeover – Peely and Bushranger! There’s no release date for these skins yet, but expect them to arrive in the next couple of weeks. UI updates There have also been a couple of changes to the menu system that should make playing Fortnite a smoother experience. Firstly, there’s now an option to clear all locker notifications – which is long overdue. Secondly, the start menu screen that lets you choose between Save The World, Battle Royale, and Creative has gone. Instead, you’ll now jump straight into the Battle Royale lobby when you load up the game.

We’ve got the patch notes you need, including the highly-anticipated return of Tilted Towers. It’s been well over a month since Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 1 began with a bang, and while the Winterfest event has kept everyone busy, we’ve not had a single proper update since then (we’re not counting the hotfixes, of course). Fortunately, update 19.10 is here, and there’s going to be a lot of fresh content to enjoy including the return of a much-loved classic POI and the potential for a new dinosaur to make its debut on the Island. Below you’ll find everything we know about Fortnite update 19.10 so far. Fortnite update 19.10 patch notes Tilted Towers returns! Fortnite players have been eagerly awaiting the return of Tilted Towers, the fan-favorite POI from Chapter 1, since it reappeared at the center of the Island covered with snow and ice at the beginning of Chapter 3. With the snow now melting across the map, Tilted Towers will officially return following the 19.10 update. It was even hinted at by Fortnite’s Twitter account, which tweeted: “One more sleep.” A wild Klombo appears Tired of hunting wolves and boars in Fortnite? Fortunately, there’s a new wild animal on the horizon, as the Klombo (as well as its favorite snack, the Klomberry) is making its debut on the Island. This huge dinosaur was first teased in promotional images for Chapter 3, and players will be able to jump out of its blowhole for some airtime. You’ll need to do this for a weekly challenge, so get practicing now. Weapon buffs & nerfs Since Chapter 3 began with an almost entirely new weapon pool, Epic Games have been issuing buffs and nerfs to try and balance everything out, and there are a couple more arriving with the 19.10 update. From now on, the MK-Seven Assault Rifle will deal less build damage, while the Ranger Assault Rifle will deal slightly more damage, have less bullet spread, and be more accurate when stood still. The Grenade Launcher has been unvaulted What would a Fortnite update be without another weapon to play with? The beloved Grenade Launcher has returned, and it’s had an upgrade as projectiles now explode after their first bounce. You can find Grenade Launchers by searching Chests and Supply Drops or by defeating sharks. ‘KAWS NEW FICTION’ art experience Who says video games can’t be cultured? A new Fortnite experience recreates the Serpentine North Gallery from Kensington Gardens in London, known for its “boundary-pushing contemporary art”. The gallery’s ‘KAWS NEW FICTION’ exhibition has just opened in real life, and you’ll be able to experience it in-game too by visiting the KAWS & Serpentine Hub once the 19.10 update goes live. More Spider-Man skins? Epic Games have teased that more Spider-Man cosmetics will be arriving as Forntite Chapter 3: Season 1 progresses, with rumors pointing towards a Green Goblin skin and maybe another Spider-Man style.

Fortnite update 18.30 patch notes: Mountain Base POI, new weapons, Boogie Bomb Epic GamesFortnite update 18.30 is here, and it’s bringing loads of new content including the Redacted Bunker POI, more Fortnitemares items, and a new weapon vote. Here are the patch notes. Fortnite Season 8 has been one of the most content-heavy seasons in recent memory, with significant map changes like the Convergence at the center of the Island and some brilliant crossovers including Ariana Grande and Resident Evil. Epic Games aren’t stopping there, as there’s already another update on the way just one week after the last one. 18.30 is expected to bring Fortnitemares to a close with fresh content drops like Shadow Midas as well as the Shortnitemares Film Festival. Fortnite 18.30 release date & downtime details Downtime for the Fortnite v18.21 patch is expected to begin on Tuesday, October 26, at around 1AM PST / 4AM EST / 9AM BST / 10AM CEST. Based on previous Fortnite updates this season, downtime for the 18.30 patch could last up to two hours. It all depends on how much content Epic are adding to the game this time. Fortnite 18.30 patch notes The **Redacted** Bunker is now a Mountain Base For the longest time, Fortnite players have wondered what lies inside the **Redacted** Bunker landmark at the southeast corner of the map near Catty Corner. It’s always remained a mystery… until now! Doctor Slone has arrived and opened the bunker, revealing a Mountain Base. What the Imagined Order are doing there is a mystery, but it probably has something to do with the Cube Queen. Gameplay of the Open Redacted Bunker! via: @m1fnbr pic.twitter.com/pnJniuP89F — Happy Power (@HappyPower) October 26, 2021 New weapons: Combat Pistol and Icy Grappler Leakers have revealed that two new weapons have been added to the files in the 18.30 update: The Combat Pistol, which joins the recently added Combat Assault Rifle, and the Icy Grappler. We don’t know exactly when these will go live in Fortnite yet, but it should happen at some point over the next couple of weeks before the 18.40 update arrives. Cube Queen Secret Skin will be unlocked The villainous Cube Queen made her dramatic entrance to the Fortnite Island in last week’s 18.21 update, and this week she’s expected to be unveiled as the Secret Skin of the Season 8 Battle Pass. The countdown for the Secret Skin now ends on October 26 at 9am ET (2pm BST), at which point there should be a set of challenges to unlock her skin, as well as plenty of matching cosmetics. Cube Town might become a Pyramid In addition to the Cube Queen’s Secret Skin, leakers are reporting that Cube Town, also known as The Convergence in the 18.21 update, could be turning into a pyramid. HYPEX explained that it’s because there’s a string in the Cube Queen’s effects that refers to something called “Pyramid Tip,” which he believes supports this idea. The Cube Town MIGHT turn into a Pyramid slowly (the Pyramid that I talked about last season), because there’s a string in the Cube Queen’s effects that refers to her as the “”Pyramid Tip”

Fortnite update 19.01 patch notes: Winterfest, Shield Kegs & new Spider-Man skins Epic GamesThe first update of Fortnite Chapter 3 has arrived, and we’ve got the full patch notes so you can see everything on offer now that downtime for the 19.01 update has ended. Chapter 3 of Fortnite kicked off with a bang, as the entire Island flipped upside down to reveal a completely new map and that long-awaited Spider-Man crossover finally arrived with a Mythic Web-Shooters item.

Three futuristic, neon-colored skin styles were shared by leakers following the 19.01 update. These are the ‘Super Level Styles’ unlocked once you pass Level 140 in the Battle Pass. New Spider-Man Styles! cc: @InTheShadeYT pic.twitter.com/BRCR4qcJ0E — Happy Power (@HappyPower) December 14, 2021 The ‘Shield Keg’ item makes its debut Joining the lineup of healing and shield-giving items in Chapter 3 is the new Shield Keg, which rapidly restores shields to every player nearby. It sounds a little bit like the Med Mist but for shields. It’s not known when the Shield Keg will go live in Fortnite just yet – it could be right after this update, or it could be hotfixed into the game in the coming weeks.

Fortnite update 18.20 patch notes: Zombies return, new Combat weapons, downtime details Epic GamesFortnite update v18.20 is upon us, and it’s bringing even more content for players to enjoy including Combat weapons and the return of jump-scare Zombies. Here are the patch notes. Season 8 of Fortnite has already provided fans with plenty of content like Sideways Zones, powerful new weapons, and Marvel’s Carnage in the Battle Pass, but there’s more to come as Epic Games deliver the second update of the Cube-themed season. As well as the second week of Fortnitemares promising new skins like the Golden Skull Trooper and more game modes to enjoy, the Cubes will be continuing their takeover of the island. Here’s everything we know about the patch so far. Fortnite 18.20 release date & downtime details Downtime for the Fortnite v18.20 patch is expected to begin on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, at around 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST although an exact time hasn’t been confirmed yet. Based on previous mid-season updates, this patch could last anywhere between an hour and two hours. This really depends on how much content Epic are adding to the game. Fortnite 18.20 patch notes Fortnitemares Week 2 begins This update marks the beginning of Fortnitemares Week 2, so expect another seven days of spooky content to enjoy. This will include new skins, more gameplay modes, and potentially a new weapon to use. Week 1 surprised players with another Walking Dead collaboration in the form of a Rick Grimes skin, and a recent teaser for Week 2 suggests that we’ll be getting a golden variant of the popular Skull Trooper. You can see all of the upcoming and leaked Fortnitemares skins right here. New Combat Assault Rifle and SMG weapons Two highly-anticipated weapons, the Combat Assault Rifle and the Combat SMG, have been teased in the v18.20 update. These two weapons have “tight bullet spread and exceptional power” but suffer from strong recoil. The Combat AR and Combat SMG will face off in a vote as part of the War Effort to see which one gets released first. You can place your vote by donating Gold Bars at a Donation Board. Jump-scare Zombies are returning According to reliable Fortnite dataminer HYPEX, jump-scare Zombies have been added to the game once again. These creepy enemies will emerge from inanimate objects when you least expect them. Zombies will apparently have a 50% chance of spawning from their objects, which could be anything from a car to a hay bale, so you’ll need to stay alert during your next trip to the Island! Jump Scare Zombies have been added, they have a 50% spawn chance in their objects! — HYPEX (@HYPEX) October 12, 2021 Another Ariana Grande crossover? Several leaked strings (descriptions of events or cosmetics) from the v18.20 update appear to hint at another Ariana Grande crossover, as they make reference to her songs Breathin’ and Break Free. It’s unlikely we’ll get anything as big as her virtual concert during The Rift Tour, but there could be some alternate styles for her cosmetics, a Music Pack, or maybe even a new Ariana emote. Some more interesting strings: – “”Welcome to Rust City”” – “”Fly forth from the Last Reality”” – “”Is this the part where she breaks free?”” – “”Find your way up into the clouds”” – “”Just Keep Breathin’””— Shiina (@ShiinaBR) October 12, 2021 Voice chat added to Impostors Mode Epic are making improvements to Impostors Mode by adding a new playlist with open voice chat. There’s also a new feature called Role Bias, which lets you choose the role you’d prefer to play. The Cubes continue their takeover At the beginning of Season 8, mysterious Cubes began appearing around the island. Since then, they’ve been multiplying and slowly rolling towards the center of the map, where The Aftermath remains. Epic have teased that the next step of the Cubes’ plans will take place during October, with their domination over the island growing. We could see these plans come to fruition during this update! Fortnite 18.20 bug fixes As always, Epic will be shipping a bunch of important bug fixes alongside the v18.20 update. You won’t always notice these, but they’ll help keep the game running smoothly for everyone. Here are all of the bug fixes scheduled for Fortnite v18.20: Reboot timer in HUD doesn’t match reboot timer on Reboot Card. – Unable to fish while inside certain vehicles. – Slower gliding when using Symbiote item and Launch Pad. – Battle Pass page unlock progress not always tracking correctly. – Switch players are not heard by other consoles in Game chat. – OnePlus Nord device experiences a crash on login. – Concert Rain VFX remains on island until Returning to Hub and entering the island again (Creative Mode). – That’s everything we know about Fortnite v18.20 so far!

Fortnite update 18.21 patch notes: Convergence POI, new Ariana Grande skin, Fortnitemares Epic GamesFortnite update 18.21 is here, and it’s bringing plenty of content for players to enjoy including a new Ariana Grande skin and the long-rumored arrival of the Convergence POI. It’s only been a week since Fortnite’s 18.20 update landed, but Epic Games are already issuing another patch full of new features, making sure Week 3 of Fortnitemares keeps players entertained and thoroughly creeped out.

Expect plenty of spooky goings-on to take place in the coming weeks, including the return of the Halloween Battle Bus. Convergence POI The cubes that took over at the beginning of Season 8 have met up at the center of the map, and they’ve now merged to form a brand new POI called Convergence (previously referred to as Cube Town by leakers). This new POI is full of chests and bounce pads, and the Cube Queen is currently floating ominously above it all… Ghostbusters: Afterlife collaboration The new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie is released in cinemas shortly, and it looks like Epic Games are about to celebrate by releasing a crossover in Fortnite! It seems as though there will be quests to complete based on the movie. Expect this collaboration to go live at some point over the next week.

Fortnitemares challenges and rewards Leakers have also revealed that a set of Fortnitemares 2021 challenges are expected to go live following the 18.21 content update, giving players the chance to complete new quests and earn some free rewards! These rewards include the Cube Cruiser glider, the Wrathful Breakout contrail, the Batty weapon wrap, and the All-Weather Extractor pickaxe, which is a pretty good selection when it comes to free rewards.

Fortnite update 18.10 patch notes: Chili Chug Splash, Super Styles & XP changes Epic GamesFortnite update 18.10 is going to be the first major one since Season 8 premiered, and while the new season has been spectacular at first, players are eager to test out some of the upcoming changes soon. Fortnite Season 8 has landed with a bang, as players have been able to explore all of the new weapons and the flurry of incredible skins available to unlock within the Battle Pass. But, with only two weeks under its belt, the first patch of the latest season has now gone live. As well as adding files for several Fortnitemares skins like the Curdle Scream Leader, the update also introduces a new item called the Chili Chug Splash, debuts this season’s Super Styles for the Battle Pass, and gives Steamy Stacks some changes. Below, we’re going to run over when we can expect downtime to begin (and end), along with all the patch notes we have available right now. Contents Fortnite update 18.10 downtime Bring the heat. 🌶️ The v18.10 update is scheduled for release on September 28. Downtime will begin at approx. 04:00 AM ET, with matchmaking being disabled approx. 30 minutes before. pic.twitter.com/NcaFyLeJds — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) September 27, 2021 The new update was released on September 28, 2021, with downtime beginning across the world at 4am EST (9am BST) and lasting around an hour. The game is now live once again! Fortnite update 18.10 patch notes Steamy Stacks has been damaged Following the partial abduction of multiple POIs at the end of Season 7, it seems Steamy Stacks is the first location to be altered in Season 8, with leakers sharing images of it looking pretty damaged. Presumably, this is the result of a new Cube that’s also appeared at the location, although Epic have teased that something may have “escaped from the ground”… perhaps this is in preparation for Fortnitemares? Here’s what’s been destroyed at Steamy! pic.twitter.com/4mBuMffOUR — HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 28, 2021 New item: Chili Chug Splash A new variation of the Chug Splash item has arrived, and it’s called the Chili Chug Splash. This version will restore 20 Health or Shield and also increase your speed, similar to eating a Pepper. Chili Chug Splashes can be exchanged for Gold Bars with The Brat, or dropped by Loot Llamas – if you’re lucky enough to find one, that is! The OG Chug Splash has also returned to the loot pool. Super Level Styles have arrived Every season, Epic adds rare variations of the current Battle Pass skins that can usually only be unlocked by surpassing Level 100. Well, in the v18.10 update, it looks like Season 8’s Super Styles have arrived. The three Super Styles for each character are Blue Rune, Purple Rune, and Golden Rune. It doesn’t look like Carnage has any Super Styles – at least not for now. New ‘Fortnitemares’ Halloween skins In preparation for this year’s Fortnitemares event, a bunch of Halloween-themed skins have been added to the game. They’re not in the store yet, but they should be added over the next couple of weeks. These skins include a ‘Geometrik’ Cube-themed skin and a pretty terrifying variation of the Cuddle Team Leader known as the Curdle Scream Leader. You can see all the leaked Fortnite skins and cosmetics here. https://twitter.com/FNLeaksAndInfo/status/1442767113278476292 XP changes There have also been a few changes to the way XP works in Season 8. Following this update, XP earned from Daily Punchcards and Character Punchcards has been increased, and Shared Quests now grant XP. On the flip side, the amount of XP earned from completing Weekly Punchcards has been reduced.

Here, we have the patch notes. Season 7 of Fortnite has been absolutely jam-packed with content. So far, we’ve had Mothership abduction mini-games, the incredible Rift Tour complete with an Ariana Grande concert, and just recently, the long-awaited arrival of Superman. But that doesn’t mean Epic Games are slowing down. In fact, according to leakers, v17.40 actually has more files/builds than v17.30 – which was the update that included The Rift Tour – so there should be some huge things on the way. Here’s everything we know about v17.40 so far, including downtime details and the new features you’ll be able to enjoy when it goes live. Fortnite update 17.40 downtime details Downtime for Fortnite v17.40 is set to begin on Tuesday, August 17, at around 1AM PDT / 4AM EDT / 9AM BST.

In this LTM, players must keep The Bridge safe by completing their Assignments and identifying the Impostors. Alternatively, play as Impostors and attempt to take down The Bridge from the inside. Team up with four to 10 other players to complete the challenge, but if the Impostors eliminate enough Agents before The Bridge is secured, then the Impostors will win. Wild Weeks are returning Starting from Thursday, August 19, Wild Weeks will be returning to Fortnite, complete with XP quests! The first week is called Sneak Week, and Epic+ Pistol, Epic+ Assault Rifle, and all Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles will be replaced with their stealthy variants: Suppressed Pistols, Suppressed Assault Rifles, and Suppressed Sniper Rifles. At the same time, Prop-ifiers will spawn more often across the Island, and more Vendors will be supplying Prop disguises. Get ready for some sneaky battles. Coral Castle will be abducted It’s been teased for a while now that Coral Castle will be abducted, and it looks like it’s finally about to happen, as a new map shown in a recent FNCS stream showed the Fortnite POI looking very different… If this follows in the footsteps of the recent abduction of Slurpy Swamp, players can expect to see the main building at the center of Coral Castle abducted, as well as some of the smaller buildings that surround it. Coral Castle will be the next abducted POI! This unreleased minimap version of Coral Castle was shown in today’s FNCS stream!! 😳 (via @fnchiefako & @FN_Assist) pic.twitter.com/8Fvg58e8FR — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) August 15, 2021 Wonder Woman finally arrives Epic have announced that a Wonder Woman skin will be arriving in Fortnite on August 19, meaning the DC Comics trinity of Superman, Batman, and the Amazonian Warrior herself will finally be complete.

These quests mostly revolve around modes like Red vs Blue Rumble and Prison Breakout, and they offer up some sweet rewards like the Qwerty pickaxe and Wavebreaker wrap. Slurpy Swamp is now Sludgy Swamp After the Slurp factory at Slurpy Swamp was abducted by the alien invaders earlier in Season 7, the famous POI has now been renamed Sludgy Swamp. Season 7 finale event We don’t have many details about the upcoming Season 7 finale event yet, but the v17.50 update should add all of the files needed for it to take place. A countdown is expected to appear on Friday, September 3, similar to the previous Rift Tour countdown. The event will likely bring the battle between the Imagined Order and the alien invaders to an end. Corny Complex will be abducted Recent weeks have seen both Coral Castle and Slurpy Swamp get abducted by aliens in their battle with the Imagined Order, and leakers have teased that Corny Complex will be the final POI to join them. It makes sense, considering the Imagined Order’s base is hidden underneath Corny Complex. It’s likely that this abduction, expected to take place in the next two weeks, will be the catalyst for the Season 7 finale. Kevin the Cube returns? Throughout Season 7, there have been loads of teasers from both devs and prominent leakers about the return of Kevin the Cube, the mysterious object that caused havoc on the Island back in Season X. Read More: When is Naruto skin coming to Fortnite? – We’ll have to wait and see when Kevin the Cube will make its long-awaited return, but it will likely have something to do with the Season 7 finale. If not then, we can expect to see it at the beginning of Season 8. Burning Wolf Fortnite Crew Pack The next Crew Pack-exclusive skin, Burning Wolf, and its matching cosmetics will be available to claim for Fortnite Crew subscribers from Wednesday, September 1, 2021. This is the first of three skins that will appear in the First Shadows Set over the next few months. Doja Cat ‘Roller Vibes’ crossover After bringing the ‘Say So’ dance to Fortnite, another Doja Cat emote called Roller Vibes has been leaked in the v17.50 update. This one is a roller-skating traversal emote that features the song ‘Kiss Me More’ by Doja Cat and SZA. It’s sure to be another popular addition that you’ll be hearing in lobbies for months to come. https://twitter.com/HYPEX/status/1432623166548062211 Fortnite update 17.50 bug fixes Alongside the new features listed above, Epic Games will also be fixing a number of bugs in v17.50 to help improve the overall gameplay experience.

Fortnite update 17.30 patch notes: Ariana Grande, Grab-Itron, Slurpy Swamp Scramble Epic GamesFortnite update 17.30 is here and it’s introducing some exciting new content, including the Ariana Grande Rift Tour concert and skin, the new Grab-Itron weapon, Slurpy Swamp Scramble, and more. Epic Games have been churning out new Fortnite patches in recent weeks. The previous one added a new weapon among other things. It’s a great way to keep things fresh for players now that the game has entered its twilight years. However, update 17.30 looks like it’s going to be even better than the last. Not only is it expected to finally introduce the Grab-Itron, which players have been dying to get their hands on for quite some time. It’s also going to ramp up alien activity on the island and prepare the game for Ariana Grande’s arrival. Here’s everything we know so far. Fortnite update 17.30 patch notes Ariana Grande Rift Tour concert Fortnite leakers revealed that an Ariana Grande concert and skin were going to crash land in the Fortnite universe several weeks ago, and now both the Rift Tour and the accompanying skin have been confirmed. The latest update has added all the necessary files to the game, so now it’s just a case of patiently waiting for the event to arrive. The Ariana Grande skin will be available at the following times and dates: 5 PM PDT (August 4) – 8 PM EDT (August 4) – 1 AM BST (August 5) – The concert will take place two days later on Friday, August 6 at 3 PM PDT / 6 PM EDT / 11 PM BST. Grab-Itron weapon After being teased and leaked countless times, the Grab-Itron was added to the code in previous updates. It still hasn’t gone live yet, but that’s expected to change in the latest patch. Much like a traditional gravity gun, the Grab-Itron weapon lets Fortnite players grab enemies and objects and sling them around the map. The Grabitron that i leaked a while ago is coming this/next week! pic.twitter.com/FJwKQyGSW8 — HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 20, 2021 Slurpy Swamp Scramble Fortnite update 17.30 added an exciting new in-game event that revolves around the Mothership abducting entire POIs.

If you get eliminated, you’ll respawn right away and you’ll be given a new loadout each time. To make things even more exciting, the non-player-made buildings at the location of battle will be more durable, and if one team gets too far ahead, they’ll be marked and become visible behind wards until the margin has narrowed. More Suicide Squad crossovers? The previously-announced Bloodsport skin has now been added to Fortnite, but a new set of Sprays have teased that more Suicide Squad skins could be on the way. As well as a new Harley Quinn style, the Sprays hint that Peacemaker, King Shark, and the Polka-Dot Man might be joining the rest of the DC Comics characters on the Island fairly soon. Theres a high chance more Suicide Squad cosmetics are on the way!#Fortnite pic.twitter.com/hMa9LdOU90 — Max – Fortnite Leaks & Info (@FNLeaksAndInfo) August 3, 2021 New skins react to music Here’s a fun one to round out this update’s patch notes.

Fortnite update 17.30 bug fixes General Issues: Some Wraps do not display properly on the Show Your Style Set – Radio not playing in vehicles – Unable to perform Last Forever Emote – Battle Royale Issues: Vehicles driving erratically, caused by player in control being in Prop state – Cosmic Chest timers may remain on screen if a Bounty is poached – Creative Issues: Latency issues on XL Islands. – Players do not bounce if they land in the center of Crash Pads – Grass with Epic settings – Vehicle explosion not properly triggered with “Destroyed with Transmit” on. – ATKs bounce and jitter unexpectedly when starting to drive. – Vehicle memory too high. –

Fortnite update 17.20 patch notes: Bugha skin, Preferred Item Slots, new LTMs Epic GamesFortnite update 17.20 is now live, and it introduced some new features, including Bugha’s Skin Bundle, two new limited-time modes, a Preferred Item Slots system, and more. Here are all the details. Fortnite players have been patiently waiting for new content for a while now. Minor delays had them sitting on the edge of their seats. However, the latest patch is now live, and it’s added some interesting bits and pieces. Here are all the details, starting with a spotlight of the key changes, followed by a comprehensive list of everything else included in the patch notes. Fortnite v17.20 patch notes Bugha Late Game Bundle The patch introduced a new ICON Series Skin Bundle for Bugha. Players can purchase it from the Fortnite item shop. Alternatively, they can also take part in the week-long competition which Epic has noted the following on. “Players who earn at least 1500 Hype before Bugha’s Late Game Tournament on July 28 will be eligible to participate in the tournament. In this version of Bugha’s Late Game, qualified players will compete against others in their region for a share of $100,000!” New LTMs: Bugha’s Late Game LTM and Pickaxe Frenzy But that’s not all. To celebrate the release of Bugha’s Late Game Skin Bundle, Epic Games have also added a new limited-time mode called Bugha’s Late Game. The rules are simple. it gives players nine unique inventories spread across three team loadouts. If you’re feeling confident, you can land on a supply drop and battle against other teams for extra loot. And if that wasn’t enough, they also added another limited-time mode called Pickaxe Frenzy. As the name suggests, it’s pretty crazy. Players run faster with their pickaxe, heal when they perform emotes and have limited access to building materials and items.

Epic Games posted a tweet describing alien ground troops arriving on the Island. Looks like it’s not just UFOs we’ll have to deal with. “Heads up Saucers, this one’s a doozy!” they wrote. “Just intercepted an IO call that Alien ground troops have begun mobilizing west. Islanders should be on high alert.” Heads up Saucers, this one’s a doozy! Just intercepted an IO call that Alien ground troops have begun mobilizing west. Islanders should be on high alert. #HotSaucersLeaks — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 5, 2021 Underground POI? Epic Games recently posted a Fortnite teaser image that shows what appears to be a new underground POI. While it hasn’t shown up in v17.20 yet, it could still be on the way. The image looks like a cave with a massive UFO half-submerged in the dirt below, which ties into the whole alien invasion theme. Could this be where the missing characters like Farmer Steel and Agent Jones are? Preferred Item Slots Fortnite players have wanted a better way to sort out their item slots for years now, and their prayers have been answered. The latest patches added a Preferred Item Slots system, which is designed to give players more control over where different weapons and items are placed in their inventory. To turn it on, navigate to the Settings menu and click on Game Settings followed by Preferred Item Slots. From there, you can also organize the slots to have items from a category such as Assault Rifles or Consumables to automatically fill a specific slot when looted. Check out our recommended Preferred Item Slots settings here. Here’s a look at the new preferred slots setting! pic.twitter.com/W1UeubV1Wg — VastBlast (@VastBlast) July 20, 2021 Loot changes Some small loot changes have been confirmed by HYPEX. These largely revolve around Cosmic Chests, which now drop less ammo, rare weapons, uncommon/epic Pump Shotguns, and Hand Cannons.

Fortnite update 17.21 patch notes: New weapon, Rift Zones, Ariana Grande, more Epic GamesEpic Games have got some exciting content in store for Fortnite update 17.21, including a new Mythic weapon, the potential return of Rift Zones with an alien-themed twist, and more. Here are all the details. Fortnite update 17.20 introduced some new features, like the Bugha Late Game Bundle, Preferred Item Slots, and more. It was a bit of a letdown to fans who expected a little more. Fortunately, they’re about to get some more content in update 17.21. The latest patch will finally add a new weapon to the game, which players have been dying to get their hands on. But it’s got some other potential surprising additions, including a countdown for a live event and more. When is Fortnite update 17.21 releasing? Fortnite update 17.21 is set to release on Tuesday, July 27. The servers will be taken down around 12:30 PT / 3:30 AM ET / 8:30 AM BST, and after a bit of downtime, the update will be available to download shortly after. Take up the power… of science! Fortnite v17.21 is scheduled for release on July 27. In preparation for the update, services will be disabled starting at approx. 03:30 AM ET (07:30 UTC). pic.twitter.com/MKAeasjDQL — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) July 26, 2021 New Plasma Cannon weapon A brand new Mythic weapon has been added to Fortnite: the Plasma Cannon, which was previously referred to in leaks as the Bad News gun. Read More: Is there a TimTheTatman Fortnite skin? – According to Epic’s description, this weapon launches a slow-moving energy ball that zaps nearby objects and destroys any buildings in its path, so it sounds like it could be pretty lethal in the right hands. Live event countdown: Could it be Ariana Grande? A new countdown timer has appeared on the Fortnite map, leaving players speculating what it could be leading up to. Rumors have been floating around that an Ariana Grande skin and concert will be coming to the game soon, and it could happen in update 17.21. The anonymous leaker has been right about other things in the past, including the LeBron James skin. So, there’s every reason to believe they could be right again. Plus, considering Fortnite has already hosted hugely successful concerts from Travis Scott and Marshmello, it’s only a matter of time before a superstar like Ariana Grande makes a splash. And what better time than in the latest update? Inflate-A-Bull re-enabled in competitive The Inflate-A-Bull was disabled in competitive playlists due to a major bug that turned players invisible for the remainder of the match after interacting with it. However, Epic Games seem to have fixed the issue and confirmed it’s going to be re-enabled in Fortnite update 17.21. Rail Gun gets nerfed The Rail Gun is considered by many Fortnite players to be the most powerful weapon introduced in Season 7, but that could be about to change as some people have reported it being nerfed. According to Fortnite star Muselk, the gun now only breaks a single wall and doesn’t hit anything behind it. Epic has nerfed railguns. They now only break a single wall. Dont hit anything behind it. Basically a heavy sniper without the damage.@FortniteGame— Muselk (@muselk) July 27, 2021 Rift Zones According to a recent leak, Epic Games are going to re-introduce Rift Zones back into the game. However, they will have a fresh twist and reportedly work a little differently from how they did in previous Fortnite seasons. Not only are they going to be created by the Mothership, but they’re also going to include everything from Low Gravity and Prop Disguise to Rift/Teleport and Ice Slides.

I’ll let y’all know later! Remember that this COULD change due to the 17.21 update next week. — HYPEX (@HYPEX) July 21, 2021 And that’s just about everything we know about Fortnite update 17.21 in the lead-up to its release. It’s a relatively minor patch in the grand scheme of things. However, it’s set to shake things up and help keep the game fresh. Of course, more leaks are expected to spill out as the release draws closer. So, as always, we’ll update this article with more information once it’s available.

Fortnite update 17.11 adds Alien Nanites, new Ray Gun: July 6 patch notes Epic GamesIn the leadup to Fortnite’s massive 17.20 patch, Epic Games released a hotfix, which is technically update 17.11, adding Alien Nanites, Zyg and Choppy’s Mythic Ray Gun, and more. Fortnite players have been eagerly waiting for patch 17.20 ever since some of its contents leaked ahead of time. However, Epic Games has been busy preparing the game for a massive overhaul, and they’ve just released a small content patch to tide them over. Alien Nanites Epic Games teased Alien Nanites before the start of the season. Now, they’re finally here in the latest patch. Alien Nanites are multi-purpose items that are used like nuts and bolts to upgrade weapons. If you have an Assault Rifle, SMG, and Sniper Rifle that is Rare quality or higher, you can use Alien Naninutes to convert them into the Pulse Rifle, Kymera Ray Gun, and Rail Gun. Alien Nanites can also be used as a weapon. You can throw them like a grenade to deal damage and create an alien biome with low gravity. Players who leave the biome will also have the no-fall damage effect for a short while.

Like most new additions that have the potential to turn the game upside down, Alien Nanites have been disabled in competitive playlists. Epic Games will probably want to keep an eye on the new items and make some balance changes before letting them loose in competitive matches. Alien Nanites have been disabled in competitive playlists. We’ll let you know if there are any more updates to Competitive gameplay. — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) July 7, 2021 Zyg and Choppy’s Mythic Ray Gun The update also brings two extraterrestrial NPCs, Zyg and Choppy, into the game. You can find them wandering around Hydro 16 planting Alien Parasite eggs. Read More: Fortnite players want 100% chest rate back – If you decide to ruin their plans and eliminate them, they will drop a new Mythic Ray Gun that is much stronger than the Kymera Ray Gun. Be warned, though. The area is swarming with Alien Parasites, so it’s not an easy task. Holly Hatchery and other map changes Holly Hedges isn’t the place it used to be. Alien Biomes have taken over the area, and it’s been overrun with Alien Parasites. As a result, it has been renamed Holly Hatchery – a forsaken place that Alien Parasites now call home. But that’s not the only POI change introduced in the patch. The Alien Invasion has seen the block party at Believer Beach come to an end. All that’s left is a bunch of trash. And as conditions worsen, it seems like the map will keep changing. Patch 17.11 is now live, and it’ll keep players busy until the next patch, 17.20, is ready to be released in the upcoming weeks. So, what are you waiting for? Jump in and experience all the new sights, sounds, items, and weapons for yourself.

Fortnite update 15.50 patch notes: Rapid Fire SMG, MariGold skin, new LTMs Epic GamesThe final Fortnite Season 5 update, patch v15.50, has arrived. Here’s all the juicy details, including patch notes, teasers about a new “rapid” item, and more. This patch is expected to be the last Season 5 update, before Season 6 drops around March 15. That means there are only be a small bundle of front-facing changes for the battle royale and Creative mode. There will, however, be a number of leaks and early teases for the upcoming Season 5 finale event, which should be just around the corner in late March – if insiders are correct. v15.50 is also expected to vault a popular gun, and trade it for a “rapid” new item – suspected to be the leaked “Run Gun SMG” uncovered by Fortnite dataminers all the way back in December 2020. Here’s everything we know about update v15.50, starting with all the details on Fortnite’s patch downtime, and the March 3 patch notes. When is Fortnite v15.50 coming? Fortnite’s v15.50 patch update arrived on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 4AM ET, with downtime lasting for quite a while as the new additions were fully incorporated into the game for everyone. The Xbox One update size is 2.85GB, the Xbox Series X|S update size is 1.84GB, the PS4 update size is 2.18GB, the PS5 update size is 1.8GB, and the Nintendo Switch update size is 3GB. The size on PC varies. Fortnite update 15.50 patch notes Hand Cannon vaulted again The popular Hand Cannon has been vaulted again in the v15.50 update. The heavy weapon only spent a single patch free from the Fortnite bench, after being released in patch v15.40.1 last month to replace the new Flint-Knock Pistol. The pistol was first introduced all the way back in patch 7.40. Before its unvaulting on February 23, the Hand Cannon had spent a huge 16 months in the Fortnite vault. It now apparently is headed back in that direction. Rapid Fire SMG unvaulted To replace the now-vaulted Hand Cannon in the Season 5 weapon pool, Epic Games revealed they would be adding a “rapid” new item, leading to speculation over the previously-leaked Run Gun SMG. However, we now know that it’s the Rapid Fire SMG which has been unvaulted after being removed in patch 14.0. It makes sense, given the ‘rapid’ teaser in Epic’s patch update announcement. Read More: How to get Alien Fortnite skins in Season 5 – The weapon is available in common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary variants. As the name suggests, it has an incredibly high fire rate but that comes at the cost of low damage and a short range. In its common variant, it deals 13 damage per bullet, with a fire rate of 15.0, and 195 DPS. It has a magazine size of 20 and a quick reload time of 1.6 seconds. It’s definitely worth picking up for close range combat. Bodyguard, Heavy Metal, and Classic Loot LTMs Several new LTMs will be coming along with the v15.50 patch update, and they sound like a lot of fun. The first is called Bodyguard, and will be available in squads, trios, and duos. Each team has a VIP who can’t pick up weapons and is marked for all enemies, with only a Legendary Pistol to defend themselves. The rest of the team have to keep them alive. Heavy Metal will be a normal battle royale mode, except the only weapons that can be found are ‘Heavy’ variants. This will probably include the Heavy Assault Rifle, the Heavy Sniper Rifle, and more. Classic Loot will also be a typical battle royale mode, but with ‘classic loot’ instead. It’s unclear what weapons or items will be featured in this mode, but we’d expect it to go back to the game’s Chapter 1 roots. Lazarbeam Icon Series skin released YouTuber Lazarbeam is the next creator to get his own Fortnite skin. The hilarious new Icon skin depicts the content creator as a “tradie” — a construction worker, for those of you outside Australia — complete with his high-vis work shirt, a tool belt, and vintage grey shorts. According to Lazarbeam, the ‘tradie’ look is to “honor [his] beginnings.” The YouTuber has confirmed the ‘Lazarbeam’ bundle will be available in the Item Shop early in the 15.50 update: March 4, to be exact. Female Midas finally coming to Fortnite After months of teasing, it looks like a female version of the popular Midas skin is coming to Fortnite. The skin is officially called MariGold, and will come with a Golden Touch challenge bundle, complete with a pickaxe, back bling, and challenges where players can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks. MariGold is expected to launch in Item Shop within the next two weeks, and you can find information about all the leaked skins and cosmetics in the v15.50 update here. v15.50 adds new Island sizes in Creative update Epic has added another new Island size in the Fortnite Creative playlist, as part of a small update to the popular battle royale building mode. Players will now be able to use Large Islands, which are 155X155 tiles. Fortnite already boasts more than 20 islands in the Creative playlist, with players often gravitating towards simple designs like “Horseshoe Island,” “Flat Grass Island,” and the huge “Grid Island” arena that is basically just a blank slate. The devs also pulled the trigger on localized “Featured Creative Hub” support. Fortnite update 15.50 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite dev team will also ship a few bug fixes, as documented on the official Trello board. This patch only has a few solved issues, including for the battle royale, Save the World, and Creative mode. Here is the full list of bug fixes coming in v15.50: General Split Screen “Ready Up!” issue. – Battle Royale Snowy Floppers do not grant Shield or Icy Feet. – Cars not always dealing damage on impact. – Total Bars appearing as “0” when loading into a match with high latency. – Save the World Issues Escalation Modifier Damage Buff does not buff Hero Skills or Gadgets. – Mobile Issues Cannot start or switch to Creative Mode. – So, there you have it; all the patch notes for the fifth Season 5 update. Once the unvaulted “rapid” item has been revealed, we’ll make sure to update this page.

Fortnite update v16.10 patch notes: Raptors, new weapons, Primal Shotgun nerfed Epic GamesThe first mid-season update for Fortnite Season 6 has arrived. V16.10 brings raptors, new weapons, and more NPCs to The Island, and we’ve got patch notes and all the details you need. [jwplayer Mx6o4MA0] The “Primal” theme continues in Tuesday’s update. The biggest change in Fortnite this week is the arrival of a new-look “apex predator.” It’s now confirmed that these are raptors (possibly marking a Jurassic World crossover) that roam The Island looking for their next snack. These new terrors are expected to be very hostile. Epic have also locked in more crafting and loot adjustments, which should better balance the new Season 6 weapon crafting system, and there’s a brand new weapon called the Junk Gun. In the balance department, the meta-breaking Primal Shotgun is also set directly in Epic’s sights. The new gun — introduced in v16.00 earlier this month — is in dire need of a balance tweak after running amok these past few weeks. Here’s everything we know about update v16.10, starting with all the details on Fortnite’s impending patch downtime, and the March 30 notes. Fortnite 16.10 patch downtime details Epic Games officially locked in the v16.10 update for Tuesday, March 30, 2021. Downtime began at 4AM ET (8AM UTC, 9AM BST, 7PM AEDT) and will likely go on for a while before you can play. Be warned: this patch is “larger than normal” on PC. The update size is 5GB on Switch; 3GB on PS4; 3.8GB on PS5, 3.7GB on Xbox One; 3.89GB on Xbox One S; and 4.5GB on Xbox X. The update on PC is especially large, coming in around 15.4GB. A new update is about to hatch. v16.10 is scheduled for release on March 30. Downtime will begin at approx. 4 AM ET (08:00 UTC). (1/4) pic.twitter.com/bajSRNRWKe — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) March 29, 2021 Fortnite v16.10 patch notes Raptors invade Fortnite The iconic Velociraptors are finally set to arrive in Fortnite. These toothy beasts, made famous in Jurassic Park back in 1993, have become one of the first dinosaurs everybody thinks of when they talk about the prehistoric monsters. Now, in a very fitting twist for the Primal season, the Fortnite island is about to be overrun by the iconic dinosaurs. Expect to see these Raptors chasing down players, and eliminating foes. They will likely spawn in the Forest — their natural habitat — and according to leakers “will be tamable” like the boars and other beasts around the island this season. Make sure you bring a weapon too if you’re going Raptor hunting; the dinosaurs will “attack on sight,” according to in-game text about the beasts. New Junk Gun (Recycler) weapon added An exciting new weapon has arrived in Fortnite Season 6: the Recycler, also known as the Junk Gun, which you can see below. Not much is known about this weapon yet, but its name and appearance suggest players will be able to build it from resources found around The Island, and maybe craft ammo for it too. According to leakers, it’s not actually in the game yet, but will likely appear within the next week or two. Primal Shotgun already being nerfed The controversial Primal Shotgun is already being nerfed, just one patch after its debut, after it dominated the Fortnite meta from the word “go.” Epic Games is targetting the close-range weapon’s fire rate in patch v16.10, in an effort to curb its power. Right now, the two-burst shotty has a 3.8 fire rate. This will likely get a minor haircut, down to around to lower 3.0s, though damage will stay the same for the new Season 6 gun. Full list of Fortnite v16.10 balance changes Crafting & loot adjustments – Creative Powerups now support Team, Class, and All combinations – Primal Shotgun fire rate reduced – Makeshift Shotgun gets v16.10 adjustments – Crafting material costs now scale with Makeshift rarity – Animal Bones, Mechanical Parts added to floor loot – New NPCS hint at Neymar Jr. skin It’s been confirmed that 5 new non-playable characters have arrived on The Island in the v16.10 update. Prominent leaker HYPEX shared images of four of the new NPCs. Webster is a creepy-looking robot chicken, while Hyde appears to take inspiration from the iconic story Jekyll & Hyde. Perhaps more interesting, though, is the addition of football players Galactico and Derby Dominator. These are skins that previously appeared in the Item Shop, but their arrival as NPCs definitely seems to hint that secret skin Neymar Jr. will be in Fortnite very soon… More leaked skins & cosmetics A bunch of new cosmetics and skins will arrive between the v16.10 patch and the next update. Leakers have shared images of all the new cosmetics in the files, including quite a few Easter-themed items and a new anime pack, which you can see below. Find all the new skins & cosmetics here. Zero Crisis LTM removed The big Season 6 launch event’s playlist has been removed at the end of the v16.10 downtime. The “Zero Crisis” story LTM is not likely to return either, so hopefully you’ve already had chance to play it a few times. Fortnite patch 16.10 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite devs will also ship a number of bug fixes, as documented on the official Trello board. This patch only has a handful of fixes, including problems surrounding the popular battle royale playlist, and Creative mode. Here is the full list of bugs fixed in v16.10: General Cannot create system-level parties between PS5 and PS4 when playing Fortnite. – Battle Royale Anomaly may not appear on Shark Island. – Chapter 2 Season 5 Legacies missing. – Visibility is extremely decreased when inside the Storm. – Opening the inventory will cancel Tap to Search/Interact/Revive actions. – Character Quests not counting for progression. – Stackable items are not split when Shift-Dragged. – Creative Slow-motion effect. – AI can get stuck in obstacles. – Player portal appears as “Creative Don’t Fill.” – So, there you have it: the Fortnite v16.10 patch notes.

Here are all the details we have so far, including patch notes, new weapons, and more.

Fortnite v15.20 early patch notes Epic ships more pre-edit changes Epic Games listened to feedback regarding the Pre-Edits Option and have made some adjustments in the latest patch. Now, with ‘Disable Pre-Edits On,’ all player-built structures cannot be edited until they’re placed. It’s a small change, but a welcome one players have been asking for forever since it was added to the game. It makes it easier for them to get the piece they intended without a hitch. Fortnite adds new Exotic: Hop Rock Dualies Brace yourselves, folks. The latest patch adds an exciting new Exotic weapon called the Hop Rock Dualies. We’ll have to wait until the patch drops to see them in action, but it will include two pistols, making it the perfect weapon for gunslingers. If you’re good enough, you’ll be able to dance and hop around your enemies and mow them down in style. It will set you back some gold bars, but it sounds like it’s more than worth it.

You’ll be able to visit key characters on the island and trade in some gold bars at a discounted price. So, once the patch is live, there’s no reason not to give them a crack. New & unvaulted weapons/items There are a total of four new or unvaulted weapons and items coming into the loot pool for the v15.20 update. You can see the full list below, which has been confirmed by VastBlast: Legendary Tactical Assault Rifle – Rare Tactical Assault Rifle – Lever Action Shotgun (All Rarities) – Uncommon Snowy Flopper – Unlike other shotguns, the new Lever Action Shotgun has the power to drop enemies in a single well-aimed shot. However, you’ll have to make sure your aim is on point because if you miss, you’ll be vulnerable while you reload. “Something stirs” in Fortnite patch 15.20 New weapons are exciting, but so are the events and lore that unfold in each Fortnite chapter and season. In the latest patch, players will notice that something is happening in the forest near Stealthy Stronghold. There seems to be an invisible foe stalking players and leaving clues behind in the area. Some people think they’ve got a pretty good idea of what it is. They believe it’s tied to an exciting new crossover. Read more: How to gift items in Fortnite – Leakers have uncovered a new Nightmare spray and banner, which most people will recognize instantly.

Ruby Shadows and Tess skins will be added to the game, as well as a new character called Orin who’s essentially a male counterpart to the popular Season 5 skin Lexa. He’s described as being “on the hunt for his long lost twin”. Fortnite v15.20 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite team has also flagged a number of bugs on their official Trello board.

Fortnite update 15.30 patch notes: New exotic weapons, Mando’s Bounty LTM, Star Wars POI Epic GamesThe next Fortnite Season 5 update, patch v15.30, has arrived, and we’ve got all the juicy details including patch notes, news on three new exotic guns, and more. The third Season 5 update looks to up the ante in Fortnite’s exciting new “bounty hunter” theme — which is drawing in famous pop-culture characters from across the universe — all over again. “You may make it to the top… but can you stay there?” the devs asked in their patch announcement. They also referenced the next Mandalorian update, coming this week: “Prove you’re among the galaxy’s best bounty hunters in v15.30.” Here’s everything you need to know about the v15.30 update, which arrived on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, including the arrival of new weapons and bug fixes. “Mando’s Bounty” LTM The Mandalorian has been the headline character of Fortnite Season 5 with multiple cosmetics and bounties. Now, he’s getting even more attention in the v15.30 update with a new Mando’s Bounty LTM. Players will face off against one another to see who can score credits the fastest, while taking out bounty targets for extra credits and higher-tier loot. When The Mandalorian enters the match, he’ll target the player with the most credits. The Mandalorian will also be getting a new glider called the Beskar Umbrella, which will be unlocked by winning the new Mando’s Bounty LTM. It won’t be easy, but the reward should make it worth the effort. Creative mode is also getting some love in the v15.30 update, with new Devices and Options set to be added to the building playlist. New exotic weapons: Burst Quad Launcher, Chug Cannon & Frozen The latest patch adds three new exotic weapons, some of which have already been teased. They’re called the Burst Quad Launcher, the Frozen SMG, and the Chug Cannon. If you’re looking to deal damage, you’ll want to focus on the first two. The Burst Quad Launcher shoots two rockets at a time, dealing an explosive 42 damage per rocket, while the Frozen SMG deals 20 damage per bullet with a decent reload time of just over 2 seconds. The Chug Cannon, meanwhile, works in a similar fashion to the old Bandage Bazooka, as it can be used to heal teammates. It was initially leaked several weeks ago, but now it’s officially made its way into the game. Kit’s Cantina Star Wars POI A surprise new point of interest called Kit’s Cantina has arrived on The Island as part of the v15.30 update, and it’s based on an iconic location from the Star Wars universe: The Mos Eisley Cantina. There’s plenty of Mandalorian and Star Wars iconography at the location to keep fans happy, and there’s also an interactive instrument. It doesn’t do anything at the moment, but will probably be used for a future challenge. The Mandalorian NPC boss now calls this POI home, so you’ll need to come prepared for a fight if you want to check out the new Star Wars-themed location. Fortnite v15.30 bug fixes As usual, the Fortnite dev team will also ship a hefty number of bug fixes, as documented on their official Trello board. This week’s patch has a stack of fixes included for the battle royale, Save the World, and Creative mode. Here is the full list of bug fixes coming in v15.30: General Difficulty editing Banner with a controller. – Long loading screen after completing a session on PlayStation/Xbox. – The Child Back Bling blocking vision when players aim down sights. – Jumpshot Outfit missing its facial hair. – Sound effect audio delay. – Battle Royale Matchmaking doesn’t start if an unreadied player leaves early. – Receiving damage mid-air when falling inside a car. – OG Bear vehicle temporarily booted. – Zero Point healing effect temporarily disabled. – Game freezing when going to the Compete tab on PlayStation/Xbox. – Creative Mode Prop holograms become invisible in certain situations for Xbox Creators. – “Devices” and “Prefabs” tabs swapped when viewing the Creative Inventory. – Save the World Locating a Durrr Burger not counting towards the “Locating: Burger Break!” Ventures quest. – Eliminating Takers not counting towards the “Eliminate: They Came from the Mist” Ventures quest. – Mobile Top Issues Motion Axis setting stuck on “Roll” on Nintendo Switch. – RT/LT Triggers on Xbox Elite controller on Android. –

Fortnite update 15.10: early patch notes, downtime details Epic GamesEpic Games has confirmed the first update of Fortnite Season 5, patch v15.10, is all set to arrive this week, kicking off this year’s “Winterfest” festivities. Here’s all the details we have so far, including early patch notes, and more. Fortnite’s fifth season arrived with a resounding bang — possibly made by beating Galactus at the end of the Marvel season — and changed the battle royale all over again. Players have had a few weeks to play around in the new “Zero Point” world, and now it’s time for a changeup again; here’s everything we know about update v15.10 so far, starting with all the details on Fortnite’s impending patch downtime. When is Fortnite update v15.10 coming? Epic Games has officially locked in the v15.10 update for Tuesday, December 15. Downtime is expected to begin at 4am ET (9am UTC, 9am BST, 6pm AEST). This update will be “larger than normal” for players who have high-resolution textures installed (approximately 23GB bigger). This is due to a new Performance Mode being added to the battle royale on PC in the planned December 15 patch. Expect a lengthy downtime for the v15.10 patch. Fortnite matchmaking will be disabled 20-25 minutes before the new Chapter 2 Season 5 update. Giddy (syr)up, hunters. The v15.10 update is scheduled for release on December 15. Downtime will start at approx. 4 AM ET (09:00 UTC). pic.twitter.com/6PJASmfuCM — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) December 14, 2020 Fortnite update v15.10 early notes Winterfest arrives as “Operation: Snowdown” Christmas is here, and that means that Fortnite’s festive event, “Winterfest,” is on its way back too! The December celebrations bring new skins, items, cosmetics, and more. This time around, the wintery event has been dubbed “Operation: Snowdown,” according to the Fortnite developers in the unofficial v15.10 patch notes. There will be new quests, items, fan-favorite LTMs, and plenty more over Christmas. Of course, the biggest reason to participate in the Fortnite holiday event is for the challenges that instantly reward players with all sorts of goods. This year is no different, with Epic offering players a chance to earn a range of Christmas cosmetics, including two exclusive skins. Dataminer ‘HypeX’ previously found a link with a Snowman NPC, which was later revealed to be called “Snowmando,” and found that it “grants you a quest” in-game. HypeX said that the NPC can have conversations, explode, and spawn loot. This information has been confirmed by Epic and “Snowmando” will be providing players with quests, items, and brand new LTMs. Here are some things that @intercelluar & i found until leaking is back to normal: – Epic are working on a Slurp Bazooka – There’s an unreleased “”Fire Extinguisher”” item – We might get a “”Snowman NPC”” that grants you a quest, it has conversations, can explode and/or spawn loot— HYPEX (@HYPEX) October 22, 2020 It was also leaked that the 14 Days of Fortnite event will introduce a new “Christmas Flopper” consumable that players will be able to find for some extra stats. The Christmas Flopper is expected to heal players 15hp at a time and players should be able to stack five of them in one inventory slot. https://twitter.com/LunakisLeaks/status/1335517812304044032 Finally, Fortnite dataminers have revealed Epic are preparing to unvault planes, and that they will bring the vehicles back for the upcoming holiday update. Fortnite leaker Twea shared that new files were added to the game sometime during the Season 5 patch, highlighting the addition of the “Santa Biplane” vehicle in particular. “Winter Airplanes have been added In v15.00,” they explained, “Planes will be making a return this holiday.” https://twitter.com/TweaBR/status/1337581131538063364 New settings options in v15.10 Based on player-requested feedback, Fortnite has added new options to toggle Pre-Edits “on” or “off.” When Pre-Edits are off, new builds will also appear in un-edited states. Epic has also added a hefty helping of next-gen improvements too; v15.10 added a “120FPS mode” that offers up a “buttery smooth framerate.” This option is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S (capped at 1080p). v15.10 adds two new Fortnite guns The new Fortnite patch is adding two new weapons for players to get their hands on for Christmas; Mancake’s Cowboy Repeater Rifle and the fiery Dragon’s Breath Sniper. The first, the Cowboy Repeater Rifle, can be found around the island, and “combines a rapid shooting style with dead-eye accuracy.” The second gun is the Dragon’s Breath Sniper, a weapon that can only be purchased from the new “fire-loving” NPC, Blaze. It’s worth noting that this exotic weapon will cost you quite a few gold bars to purchase, so make sure you’ve got plenty saved up. New LTM: “Spy Within” Finally, Fortnite is adding a new limited-time mode, “Spy Within,” during v15.10. The new playlist will pit a team of Spies against a team of secret Agents. The Agents will need to complete objectives while the spies are there to cause mayhem without being spotted. The two teams must “not act sus,” or players will find themselves voted off the island! Fortnite v15.10 bug fixes As per usual, the Fortnite team has also added a number of bugs and issues to their official Trello board. This week’s patch has a stack of fixes included for battle royale, Save the World, and even a few for the new Fortnite Crew mode. Here is the full list of bug fixes coming in v15.10: General High sensitivity/acceleration on Xbox consoles when using keyboard and mouse. – Multiple actions’ names are missing from the Custom Controller settings. – Fortnite Crew “There was a problem” error when joining Fortnite Crew on PlayStation. – Fortnite Crew button missing on PlayStation after joining. – Incorrect message when cancelling Fortnite Crew on a different platform. – Fortnite Crew “time remaining” timer may appear off by a day. – Battle Royale Quests wrongly marked as “New.” – Big Chuggus’ Character Collection tab lists an extra third location. – Fishing Collection Book leaderboard and friend progress not visible. – Widow’s Light Back Bling not visible on PC with Effects set to Low. – Certain NPCs are granting Storm Surge credit when damaged in Arena. – Total Bars may rarely appear as “0” in a match. – Rebooted players may see an already completed Bounty. – Matchmaking doesn’t start if unreadied player leaves early. – Save the World Husks can damage mission objectives through structures. – So, there you have it! That’s our early patch notes with all the changes & fixes planned for Fortnite’s first Season 5 update. Once the official v15.01 details are released and added to the game, we’ll be the first to let you know.

Fortnite v14.20 patch notes: Wolverine boss, BTS event Epic GamesFortnite developers Epic Games have confirmed Chapter 2 Season 4’s v14.20 patch is on its way, and it’s a big one — Wolverine, a BTS single, Fortnite’s third birthday, and plenty more! Here’s all the early patch notes, details, and more for the September 23 update. Fortnite’s fourth season Marvel theme continues in this v12.40 update with the debut of the X-Men’s deadly hero, Wolverine, as an on-map boss. There’s also a few other crossovers set to begin too, including a BTS single release. We already have a pretty good idea what’s coming in the Fortnite x Marvel #3 update, set to go live this Wednesday; here’s everything we know about the v14.20 patch so far — starting with all the Fortnite downtime details. When is the Fortnite v14.20 patch coming? Epic Games has officially locked in the v14.20 update for Wednesday, September 23. Downtime is expected to begin at 4am ET (8am UTC, 9am BST, 6pm AEST). Expect downtime for the v14.20 patch. Fortnite matchmaking will be disabled 20-25 minutes before the new update, to allow Epic Games to ship the patch. A new update takes over. v14.20 is scheduled for tomorrow, September 23. Downtime will begin at 4 AM ET (08:00 UTC). pic.twitter.com/iRJwej2S9w — Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) September 22, 2020 Fortnite v14.20 early patch notes Blade set to join Fortnite in v14.20 update Perhaps the biggest news of the new Fortnite update is that Blade, the Marvel’s vampire hero known as the “Daywalker,” will be joining the battle royale next. His inclusion in the game was teased in Epic’s unofficial patch notes email, with the vampire hero’s nickname spelt out in red letters across the page. There has been no official confirmation Blade will be coming to the game, but this first hint does seem to point to its likelihood. Considering it’s in the v14.20 update notes too, there’s a good chance it will happen sometime during this patch. New Marvel boss: Wolverine Fortnite will be adding a new boss in the v14.20 update: Wolverine. The X-Men hero will spawn in Weeping Woods, and will drop his Wolverine’s Claw mythic power whenever he is defeated in combat during a match. “Like other bosses on the map, he won’t go down without a fight,” Fortnite teased. Wolverine joins Marvel heroes and villains like Silver Surfer and Dr. Doom as a boss out on the map. Dexerto understands Fortnite has no plans to remove the bosses already loaded in on Season 4’s map, for the time being at least. New Takeover Limited Time Mode (LTM) Alongside all of the fresh content in the latest Fortnite update, a new LTM is also on the way. It’s another Marvel-centric addition to the season as the Takeover mode has you fighting for control of outposts around the map. Standard weapons and items will be available in this mode, though everyone drops in with one big change. Players all start “with a random primary superpower and see comets in the sky dropping more powers of all types to build your perfect loadout.” If you haven’t already tried out each Marvel power in-game, be sure to get ahead of the competition with our guide on every ability in Season 4. Fortnite’s third birthday As the community jumps into the new update, a special occasion is just a few days away. Over the coming weekend, Epic Games will be celebrating the third birthday of Fortnite in a few unique ways. Earlier leaks gave us a look at a handful of cosmetics on the way for the occasion. Two weapon wraps are confirmed but there could be plenty more up for grabs too. From “more challenges” to “new rewards” and plenty more, Fortnite’s third birthday party could be the most memorable yet. Oh, and there will also be cake. BTS launching new single in Fortnite BTS will soon be taking over Fortnite with a special in-game performance of their new hit single Dynamite, and Epic has now confirmed it will be happening in v14.20. The special BTS single premiere will occur in-game on September 25, at 8pm ET. There will also be a repeat performance, Epic has confirmed, which will happen a day later on Saturday, September 26 and at a much reasonable time for players in Europe. The replay is slated to start at 8am EDT / 1pm BST / 5am PDT / 2pm CEST. On top of the event, BTS fans will be able to get their hands on exclusive Fortnite cosmetics in the form of skins & emotes. These will be in the Item Shop on Sep. 23.

Fortnite unveils real monster truck to bring Chapter 5 Season 3 vehicle to life X: SeloverWesFortnite has gone the extra mile by creating a real-life monster truck to promote its new in-game vehicle type. Fortnite recently revealed a teaser for “Wrecked,” the upcoming season for Chapter 5. This new season will be themed around Fallout and have a wasteland vibe. Exclusive leaks have revealed a collaboration between Fortnite and Monster Jam, which has resulted in the creation of new vehicles within the game. One of these vehicles was even leaked by content creator Swearin, who shared an image of an RC car sent to him by Epic Games. Now, a new monster truck has arrived at the Monster Jam World Series, along with a plethora of Fortnite-themed props. The truck in the images is not the same as the RC car given to content creators. Instead, this new truck will be lifted with a fin on the back and a mysterious symbol on the side. The truck is wrapped to mirror its in-game appearance, complete with large spoilers on the front and distinctive bars on the back windows, a feature shared with other current vehicles. However, the monster truck may not be limited to Fortnite’s battle royale mode. One user on X expressed hope that the truck would be introduced to Rocket Racing as a new skin or vehicle type. Rocket Racing, an alternative game mode in Fortnite introduced in Chapter 5, focuses on car racing. Players can compete in races to earn usable skins in the primary battle royale mode. With the collaboration with Monster Jam, users have also been theorizing that this could potentially mean that other famous monster trucks may be added to the game as purchasable skins. Be sure to keep an eye out for future Fortnite leaks and updates before Chapter 5 Season 3 begins on May 24.

The movie, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, dropped in February 2022 and a Fortnite crossover seems hot on its heels. Here’s everything we know about the Fortnite x Uncharted crossover. https://twitter.com/ShiinaBR/status/1492352849908543489?s=20&t=9Jl9wnVCrVycb2Qr1Nr2RQ Fortnite x Uncharted Crossover: Skins & Content Leakers have confirmed that skins for multiple characters will be coming to Fortnite, including Tom Holland’s Nathan Drake. There will be 2 styles of Nathan Drake skin and 3 styles of Chloe Frazer, who is played by Sophia Taylor Ali in the movie. It looks like skins will focus on the in-game models from Naughty Dog’s video games, as well as the film adaptation, essentially allowing players to rock whichever they prefer. Alongside the skins, reputable leaker Hypex stated there would also be a Second Hand Saber Pickaxe, Parashurama Axe Pickaxe, Sully’s “New” Seaplane Glider and an updated Journal Emote: “Lemme just jot this down…”. Fortnite x Uncharted Crossover Release Date While the details are not cemented, mainly because they have not yet been confirmed by Epic, leaks have indicated the crossover will officially drop in-game on Thursday, February 17. This is subject to change as delays in the development process could still occur. We can also expect the price of the skins to track with pretty much all of the others released by Epic, so there should be no surprises for seasoned players. These are yet to be confirmed, though. This article will be updated nearer the time, when details are certain and Epic have broken their silence. Players can certainly get excited though.

Fortnite speculation heats up after life-size Battle Bus found at Universal Studios via undercovertourist / Epic GamesIt looks like Epic Games has been working with Universal Studios Hollywood on an upcoming event at City Walk, with a life-sized Battle Bus appearing near the park in the past couple of days. The studio has no boundaries for its Fortnite collaborations, as its added everything from Disney movies to comic book superheroes to its ever-growing metaverse. Epic has also been known for its IRL Fortnite events that take the immersion to another level. Something like that could be in the cards once more seeing as a life-sized Fortnite Battle Bus appeared near Universal Studios Hollywood, sparking rumors and speculation of what it could mean. The bus reportedly appeared around October 3, and progress on its design has been progressing ever since. Universal Fortnite Battle Bus day 2…still confused. pic.twitter.com/NlwxKXUhc4 — Charlie of Theme Snark (@ThemeSnark) October 4, 2021 Images and video from fans show what looks to be a futuristic Fortnite Battle Bus decked out with intricate details and some lights. By the looks of it, the Battle Bus has been stationed down the way of Universal Studios park in front of the City Walk AMC. What it’s doing there is, as of now, a complete mystery. A Twitter user who took a short clip of the bus said that a security guard only said that “they’re planning something big.” I was there The security told me they’re planning something big pic.twitter.com/019eq0Xy5d — Dannyඞ (@Danny_N101) October 4, 2021 Universal Fortnite Battle Bus speculation While a collaboration of some sort is obviously at the forefront of people’s minds, what kind of Fortnite team-up is still unclear. People are thinking this could mean anything from a Fortnite ride at Universal to announcing an in-game event. Universal Studios is currently celebrating the Halloween season with its ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ special event. Players are speculating that Fortnite skins could be coming that would introduce classic Universal monsters from Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Dracula, and more. Like most Fortnite mysteries, there could be some crumble of information lying in the Twitter account of Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, Donald Mustard. This is a team of artists collaborating and creating at the highest level. I just can’t get it out of my head!!! @flanaganfilm @k8siegel @RahulKohli13 @annabethgish @alexessoe @TheNewtonBros and every single other person on the team. Congratulations! Thank you! I bow to you all. — Donald Mustard (@DonaldMustard) September 28, 2021 Putting on the tinfoil hats, a Sep. 28 tweet from Mustard showed some appreciation for Mike Flanagan’s horror Netflix hit, Midnight Mass. Flanagan currently has another project, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, featured as a maze at Universal’s Horror Nights. While a connection between Mustard’s tweets on horror appreciation and the Fortnite Battle Bus located near the park during Halloween is thin, Epic’s CCO has a knack for cryptic teasers. Whether this means we’ll get Midnight Mass skins like Sheriff Hassan or Father Paul remains to be seen, but something’s bound to be announced.

Fortnite UFOs explained as first cryptic Season 7 teasers revealed Epic GamesWith Fortnite Season 7 on the horizon, it’s looking more and more likely that the theme will be an alien invasion – and these first teasers from Epic Games appear to back that up. When the final mid-season update of Season 6 arrived, several prominent Fortnite leakers discovered files relating to aliens. These included UFO-related voice lines from a new character called Mari, animations of players being abducted, and some creepy alien sounds. Now, it looks like Epic Games have officially started teasing what’s to come in the next season, as they’ve begun sending out cryptic clues to popular content creators like Loserfruit and Martyn Littlewood – and all signs do indeed point to aliens. Epic Games share first Fortnite Season 7 teasers Fortnite creator Martyn Littlewood shared the contents of a package he received in the post, presumably from Epic Games: A portable DVD player and a disc with the ominous words ‘They’re Coming’ written on it. Once played, it reveals real-life aerial footage of a crop circle with a symbol that looks strangely similar to the Imagined Order symbol. Other fans have pointed out that it could be a cube, potentially hinting at the long-awaited return of Kevin the Cube. https://twitter.com/InTheLittleWood/status/1397540945835536389 Australian creator AussieAntics also shared the DVD player and DVD that he received, explaining that he initially had no idea where it came from – although he later confirmed that LoserFruit received a similar package, which would appear to confirm the Fortnite link. Yo… Just checking if any other Fortnite creators got sent a DVD player with a DVD titled “”They’re coming””…? Either Fortnite is promoting the new season or I have a stalker and I am about to be murdered. Would be great if I knew which…. pic.twitter.com/JZdTPWZCm1 — DIG Aussie Antics (@AussieAntics) May 26, 2021 Meanwhile, several other Fortnite players have been sent postcards with the words, ‘They’re Coming’ on them, and there’s even a Discord server of people discussing the teasers. It’s all very cryptic, but we’re excited to see what Epic have in store for fans. Fortnite leaked UFOs explained It was also revealed in the recent leaks that UFOs will shortly begin appearing around the Island and abducting players before transporting them to other locations. It’s expected that this will happen just before Season 7 debuts on June 8, 2021. Reputable leaker HYPEX has shared more information on how the UFOs will work in Fortnite. Perhaps most interestingly is the fact that they can hold a maximum of 20 players including enemies, so it won’t just be solo abductions happening. More infos about the Alien Abduction UFOs: – When they abduct you they restore your Health & Shield to 100 – They have a max capacity of 20 players – They can mass abduct a squad/enemies – They select abductees before abducting them – They appear from the first zone— HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 26, 2021 Even more infos about the upcoming UFOs; – Takes 3 seconds to select/warn abductees – Takes 2 seconds to abduct – Only 1 spawns then they increase to 5 (I think) – They appear 15 seconds after every storm – Their chances of spawning (in zones order): 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, 100%— HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 26, 2021 Aside from that, it’s been revealed that the UFOs will appear from the first zone, and become more common as zones progress. While being abducted and transported to another location might be frustrating, players will have their Health and Shield restored to 100, which is a nice bonus. We’ll just have to wait and see when UFOs will make their debut in Fortnite, but we have a feeling it will be during Season 7, with the recently-released Foreshadowing Quests leading up to these dramatic events.

Fortnite’s 30.10 update quietly combats teaming in cars Epic GamesFortnite Update 30.10 quietly combats teaming by no longer letting players use turrets when a car is driven by enemies. Teaming has long been a problem across various Fortnite game modes. It’s a tactic in which enemy players agree to team up for a while and take out the rest of the competition. While teaming technically constitutes a bannable offense, since it’s considered cheating, it’s hard to prove. As a result, not many players worry about the ramifications. But the problem has gained more attention since the launch of Chapter 5 Season 3, which introduced weapon mods for vehicles. The update allowed players to hop in an enemy’s vehicle and mow down other foes with a gun turret. Fortnite’s 30.10 patch put a stop to this, though the release notes don’t mention it. Reddit user Far-Internal-6355 pointed out the change in a post on June 14, which shows a screenshot of their character sitting inside an enemy’s vehicle. Despite having control of the turret, text on the screen notes the weapon is “Disabled while enemy is driving.” One person in the thread claimed this change applies to every game mode. And others quickly identified the turret tweak as one meant to target Fortnite’s teaming problem. “That’s one way to beat teaming,” reads one such comment under the post. Many seem to agree that this is a smart way to combat the issue. However, other Fortnite players think it especially disadvantages the original owner of the car. After all, some users have been known to randomly jump into vehicles uninvited during matches. One person suggested another possible solution that would’ve killed two birds with one stone: “Good way to screw the original car owner. Teaming is a problem, but they should have just locked the doors.” In addition to this change, Fortnite 30.10 also added Metallica content that includes a UEFN concert experience, Mythic items, and more.

Fortnite Twitter gets hacked following controversial World Cup announcements SwitchWhat had already been a contentious day for Epic Games was topped off with the official Fortnite Twitter account getting hacked. On April 3, all 7.35 million followers of Fortnite’s Twitter account were made audience to a series of interesting tweets after someone had found a way to gain access to the account. There were several tweets put out by the hacker(s), some random, some a lot more specific, such as the very recognizable “revert the changes” rhetoric that much of the player-base has been pushing since the release of the v8.20 update two weeks ago. All of the tweets were deleted very shortly after being posted, but we managed to grab screenshots and include them below for your conveniences: How did they hack Fortnite’s Twitter account? According to FNBRLeaks, a prominent outlet for Fortnite news and leaks, it has been confirmed that the hacker(s) did not exactly hack Fortnite’s Twitter account directly, but rather gained access to the account of Matt ‘Loomin’ Layman, who works in the esports department at Epic Games. According to the report, since Loomin had access to Fortnite’s Twitter account via Tweetdeck, the hackers were able to put out the tweets without actually needing to access that account directly. Why did they hack Fortnite’s Twitter account? Again, the reason for why these hackers decided to mess with Fortnite’s Twitter account may never end up truly coming to light. However, having the chance to troll one of the biggest gaming companies in the world in front of their own 7.35 million followers could have had something to do with it. However, it also doesn’t come as a coincidence that this ended up happening just hours after Epic had put out a very controversial rule change to the screen resolutions for the upcoming Fortnite World Cup qualifiers. A large majority of the competitive player-base was very frustrated with the change, and adding on the fact that most were already unhappy about the v8.20 update, this hacking could have just been a form of payback.

Fortnite: TSM’s Daequan in disbelief after bizarre glitch eliminates him TSM player and popular streamer Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco couldn’t believe his eyes after a ridiculous glitch with a plane in Fortnite caused him to be eliminated suddenly. The planes in Fortnite, officially known as the X-4 Stormwing, have been a controversial addition to the battle royale mode, as many players feel they are too powerful, thanks to their mounted guns. However, not everyone dislikes the X-4 Stormwing. FaZe Clan’s Brendan ‘Jaomock’ O’Brien is one streamer who has come out in support of the plane, particularly in competitive play. One thing everyone can agree upon though, is that any glitches arising from these planes should be fixed – such as this insane glitch which gave Daequan no chance of survival. The rear of plane appeared to be stuck inside a wooden build, and as the popular streamer jumped on the wing to enter the pilot’s seat, he immediately lost all of his health. The kill feed simply reads: ‘TSM_Daequan forgot to set the parking brake’. The pro player stood up from his chair, angered, before exclaiming: “this game’s trash bro!” It turns out that Daequan wasn’t the only popular Fortnite player to suffer this game breaking bug either; fellow streamer Ali ‘SypherPK’ Hassan fell victim to a similar fate. Again, it looks like the glitch was caused by the plane being trapped inside a wooden structure, at which point the body of the aircraft turned into a death trap. Hopefully, now that two well-known Fortnite players have experienced the glitch while streaming, developers Epic Games will be aware of the issue and working on a fix soon.

Fortnite: TSM’s Myth shows ridiculous new editing trick that works almost 100% of the time With so much emphasis put on building in Fortnite Battle Royale, a new editing trick has surfaced online that players should start using as soon as possible. This new trick allows players to replace an enemy player’s built wall with their own, all while protecting themselves and not being exposed to any potential counter-fire. Pulling off the method is relatively simple – the first step requires the attacking player to build a ramp between them and the target wall. Then, while that ramp is being formed, the player must get close enough to the enemy’s wall and break it down through the ramp, immediately placing their own wall in its place. The key here is to locate the critical damage point on the wall that’s underneath the ramp and strike it there, as that critical damage will be enough to destroy the wall with one swing of the pickaxe while still leaving enough health for the ramp to remain standing. There are several reasons why this trick can be a powerful addition to anyone’s arsenal of moves. First of all, trying to break down and replace an enemy’s wall the traditional way can be hard to do because the enemy player can just sit there with their building interface out and spam build a new wall in the old one’s place. However, by doing it from behind the cover of a ramp, the enemy will likely be caught off guard by their wall getting destroyed, which gives the attacking player just enough time to place their own wall. The result then gives players a huge advantage during build fights because they can now edit the wall as they please and also place trap items onto its surface. Furthermore, having the ability to destroy the target wall through a ramp while not destroying the ramp itself is crucial in keeping the player safe from a counterattack. Team SoloMid Fortnite pro player ‘Myth’ showcased this new edit trick during a match he played live on his stream, and it’s quite clear how effective and powerful it is when executed correctly. While the enemy protected their wall with spam builds, Myth was able to throw him off by building the ramp, which gave him the perfect distraction to replace the wall, edit it open, and aggressively push through and eliminate his opponent.

Fortnite: TSM Myth opens up about performance anxiety after ending stream prematurely Team SoloMid’s Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani has opened up about his struggles with performance anxiety after shutting down his popular Twitch stream earlier than expected on November 15. The Fortnite Battle Royale star had been practicing with other top players in one of the game’s custom pop-up cups but was unable to produce the sort of the performance that he expects from himself. As the face of TSM Fortnite, Myth has come under a great deal of scrutiny for his performance in competitive settings and it would appear that this is beginning to take its toll on him. “Sorry for ending the stream,” Myth explained on Twitter. “But I’m currently going through performance anxiety and it’s something that I’m really trying to battle and something that has me really emotional.” He went on to say that he struggles to remain positive when he makes uncharacteristic mistakes, stating: “It’s so demoralizing when you know how and what to do but you just fumble. I’ll keep pushing.” Sorry for ending the stream But I’m currently going through performance anxiety and it’s something that I’m really trying to battle and something that has me really emotional. It’s so demoralizing when you know how and what to do but you just fumble. I’ll keep pushing. — Myth (@TSM_Myth) November 16, 2018 Myth has been open about the difficulties that he has faced when it comes to balancing his Twitch stream and his professional Fortnite responsibilities, but this is arguably the most personal insight he’s given to fans about his current mindset. Myth’s stream grew exponentially along with the rise of Fortnite in late 2017 and early 2018, and he was widely regarded as one of the very best builders in the game for the first half of the 2018. The TSM star has struggled to show that same level of skill when competing against the world’s best players – an issue that is clearly beginning to get to him. A number of fans have suggested that he scrims and plays competitive matches off-stream while he concentrates on getting past his current performance anxiety problems.

Fortnite: TSM Dakotaz on how Epic Games should make the Glider Redeploy work if it returns Team SoloMid member and Fortnite streamer Brett ‘Dakotaz’ Hoffman has revealed how he thinks Epic Games should reintroduce Glider Redeploy back into the game. Glider Redeploy was introduced to the game as a trial, allowing players to pull out their glider to avoid taking fall damage, or to fly and attack other players. The change to the game was met with criticism from a portion of Fortnite fans who felt it altered the fundamental gameplay of the battle royale title, meaning players were no longer required to be cautious when building as they could just pull out their glider and float to safety if it was destroyed. Epic Games decided to remove the option during the V6.30 Update to the game, leaving players who enjoyed the redeploy tool angry. While Dakotaz himself isn’t a fan of the Glider Redeploy tool, he believes there is a way it could be brought back to appease those who are upset at its disappearance. “I personally like redeploy out of the game,” stated Hoffman. “I don’t think it’s needed, but if it has to be in the game, I think it should work like it does in other modes, where you can’t just fly over to someone like Superman and get into fights.” In Dakotaz’s system, players would no longer be able to skydive when they activate Glider Redeploy, instead forcing players to either use their glider or fall to their death, the same way it does in Fortnite’s Playground mode currently. Hoffman recently produced a list of changes that he would like to see in the massively popular battle royale game, including a reduction of the amount fall damage players would take and a change that reward players for gaining kills. While some fans may be upset that Glider Redeploy has been taken out of Fortnite, there are currently no official plans for it to make a reappearance in the base version of the game.

Fortnite: TSM Fortnite pro Daequan discusses how to balance the recently-vaulted Infinity Blade Daequan Twitter / Epic GamesEpic Games recently made a huge miscalculation with one of its latest additions to Fortnite, but a streamer offered their solution to making the ousted weapon type work. Fortnite released patch v7.01 on December 11 and with it a new Mythic weapon named the Infinity Blade to the dismay of many players. The insanely overpowered weapon quickly made its way out of the game and into the Vault, leaving some to wonder if there could be a better way to integrate a slashing weapon of another kind. Like many, Team SoloMid’s Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco was happy to see the Infinity Blade wiped off the servers, but thinks that regular swords via loot drops could be a viable addition to the game. In sharing his thoughts, he gave a thorough breakdown of what swords in Fortnite could look like, if given the right amount of damage and a proper kit. “I just want regular loot drop swords in Fortnite. Give them a short dash, 75-100 a cut & 150 from behind,” he said. “Everyone already has a Shotgun so shotties would obviously counter them but they could have their uses.” He likened the idea to Halo’s incorporation of the Energy Sword and its counterpart the Tactical Shotgun. I’m not talkin bout bringing back the infinity blade or anything like it. that shit was dumb lol — Daequan (@TSM_Daequan) December 14, 2018 Unsurprisingly, many were quick to doubt his idea, but he was quick to remind everyone that his idea would be even less powerful than Halo’s Energy Sword. Think about swords from halo. If you had a shotgun they just got bopped lol. It would be even easier to kill sword players in Fortnite cause the sword doesn’t 1 shot like it did in halo. — Daequan (@TSM_Daequan) December 14, 2018 Though the suggestion was met with immediate hesitation from a Fortnite community that was still sore from the Infinity Blade’s marks, he further argues the idea is a necessary evil to avoid further pitfalls down the line. “Would you rather them keep going on the road they’re going and give helicopters with miniguns and black hole devices, or something that can be balanced and easily countered,” Daequan said. “It’s called giving ideas. Old Fortnite ain’t coming back in case you didn’t notice the changes since Season 2.” The Infinity Blade was completely abandoned before even a week had gone by, and it could be a little while before Epic Games plays with swords again.

Fortnite Tron skin leaked with crossover coming soon Epic Games / DisneyThe latest Fortnite Season 5 leak points towards a crossover with iconic movie franchise Tron, with a skin coming to the game soon. As any Fortnite player knows, crossovers are one of the most exciting parts of the game, and they always manage to surprise us. At this point, we’re pretty certain Fortnite must hold the award for most IPs in one single video game. So far in Season 5, we’ve seen appearances from gaming legends like God of War’s Kratos and Halo’s Master Chief, as well as some more unexpected crossovers from classic movie Predator and hit TV series The Walking Dead. But this latest leak points towards a completely left-field choice of crossover, as it looks like the world of Fortnite is about to collide with the classic 1982 sci-fi movie Tron. Tron skin coming soon to Fortnite So far throughout Season 5, the majority of major crossover skins have been hinted at through portals that extend from the Zero Point. The latest, which is codenamed ‘Mainframe’ and has been shared by a number of Fortnite leakers, looks set to be Tron. Read More: 14 of the best Fortnite skins ever released – The leaked portal image shows a neon city that clearly resembles the visuals of the Tron franchise. If you look closely, you can also see a Light Cycle on the road, which are the motorbike-inspired vehicles driven in the movies. As shared by HYPEX, the audio associated with the portal will also sound very familiar to Tron fans. We’re not sure when the crossover will happen, but the wait is usually not that long after Fortnite skins leak. https://twitter.com/HYPEX/status/1359460684803809281 While previous skins in Season 5 such as The Mandalorian and The Terminator have matched up with the ‘bounty hunter’ theme, we’re not quite sure how Tron or the recently-announced The Flash skin fit that description. Regardless of the specifics, we’re enjoying watching Fortnite continue to flesh out its world by welcoming other franchises to The Island. Besides, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the rumored Lara Croft skin becomes reality.

Fortnite trolls players to touch grass in leaked quest tto/ac_rendersBattle Royale game Fortnite is trolling its players to touch grass for an upcoming leaked quest. Fans have now responded to the strange request in the most epic way. Fortnite has firmly established itself as one of the best free games available, with Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and other game modes having already achieved unprecedented levels of success. With support for multiple platforms, the game attracts players of all ages. There has been a meteoric rise in the number of active players and devoted followers since the game’s 2017 debut. Whether it’s going to a Travis Scott concert or battling alongside Marvel heroes to rescue reality, players have put in a lot of time to prove they deserve a Victory Royale. One of the well-known memes depicting a typical Fortnite player advises them to “Touch Grass,” which, in gaming terminology, means to take a break from their screen and enjoy nature outside. Though it’s a frequent gamer insult, an upcoming leaked quest reveals that Epic is trolling its user base with the meme. Leaked Fortnite quest requires players to touch grass According to well-known data miner iFiremonkey, an upcoming Week 6 quest in Chapter 5 Season 1 will require players to “Spend 5 minutes touching grass.” Additional text attached to the quest tells the player, “It’s time to take a break.” While the mission doesn’t actually require players to touch grass in real life, it does require their character to spend time in the grass biome on the island. Since some gamers dismissed the leak as a hoax, iFiremonkey included an image of the game’s decrypted files, which reveal a timer that keeps track of how long the player character’s skin touches the grass. Thus, it would be meaningless for the player to be on one of their structures during combat, regardless of whether that structure touches the grass or not. Once fans saw this peculiar request from Epic, they voiced their opinions on the matter. One such player said, “One quest I won’t be completing.” Another chimed in, “They exposed some of the player base.” A third user added, “It’s gonna be a walk in the f*****g park.” As players continue to grind quests to complete their Battle Pass, the latest Winterfest Quests have them engaged with free presents, XP, and more.

Fortnite Tron skin issue discovered as fans slam “rushed” crossover Epic GamesJust a day after the Fortnite Tron skin day landed in-game, players have already found a key issue with the outfit and slammed the crossover as feeling “rushed.” [jwplayer Mx6o4MA0] Marvel and Fortnite have had a long-running partnership, dating as far back as May 2018, with Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet LTM. Since then, players have regularly got new skins, LTMs and content related to the Marvel universe, and Tron has been the latest character to get in on the action with a skin released on February 11. It’s still currently available at the time of writing in the Item Shop, but some fans have hit out at Epic after a noticeable issue has been bothering players traversing the island in it. Fortnite Tron skin crossover under fire As you’ll know, if you’ve checked out the slick new skin, Tron comes in both male and female variants — but there’s a discernible issue with the male variation of it. As pointed out by Hip_Fridge on Reddit, with a side-by-side comparison to boot, the male Tron’s Back Bling is seriously misaligned. The Identity Disc Back Bling really adds to Tron’s futuristic look but players are finding this misalignment isn’t having the desired effect and causing aesthetic issues for players. This has led to some serious eyebrows raised over Epic’s commitment to detail, with the top comment on the above Reddit post saying that the whole crossover “feels rushed.” Read More: Best Fortnite settings for all consoles – Hip_Fridge goes on to say that issues such as these “numb the hype a bit” of big crossovers, and considering how much Fortnite relies on cosmetic sales and microtransactions, this isn’t something they’ll want to let slide. Epic haven’t responded to the issue yet, but we trust they will get it fixed sooner rather than later, so players can enjoy the Tron skin in all its glory.

Fortnite brings back Trios mode after vaulting it without explanation Epic GamesEpic Games vaulted Fortnite’s Trios mode a couple of weeks ago; fortunately, the beloved mode has now returned. Fortnite introduced Trios during Chapter 2, having taken inspiration from the likes of Apex Legends. It didn’t take long for the mode to explode in popularity, either. As such, many Fortnite fans were devastated two weeks ago when Epic unceremoniously valuted Trios in Battle Royale and Zero Build. Naturally, much of the anger and confusion stemmed from those who preferred to play in groups of three. Those types of players will be pleased to learn that Epic has already reversed course. Trios mode returns to Fortnite after recent removal According to a post from Fortnite-dedicated Twitter account HYPEX, Trios has once more returned for all non-competitive modes. Whether or not it’s returning temporarily or permanently remains unknown for the time being. Still, a quick look through the replies to HYPEX’s post indicates this news is a highlight for the community-at-large. The replies are filled with Twitter users saying Trios should’ve never been removed. Meanwhile, others continue to express confusion about the mode’s vaulting. Some believe Trios hit the sidelines because Epic wanted to avoid oversaturating servers with the advent of Ranked Play. Regardless, Fortnite faithful are pleased with the latest turn of events. Prior to its debut as a core offering in Chapter 2 Season 5, Fortnite’s Trios existed as a limited-time mode. Users quickly fell in love with the mode, since it meant they no longer needed to fill out squads of four for team play. For the sake of three-person crews everywhere, here’s to hoping Trios won’t vanish again anytime soon.

Fortnite trick lets you steal other players’ Ride the Lightning power Epic GamesDon’t have the Ride the Lightning guitar in Fortnite? Check out this trick that lets you use the mythic item without having one in your inventory. Fortnite’s 30.10 update in Chapter 5, Season 3 has introduced Ride the Lightning mythic, an all-new mobility item that lets you zap around in the air and slam enemies on the ground. At first glance, it functions similarly to the Wings of Icarus that was available during the Myths and Mortals season. Players can find this new mythic item scattered all over the map. Though just like any other new and powerful item, chances of getting your hands on one may be slim due to the number of players willing to go all out to get them. With that in mind, even if you’re unable to secure one for yourself, there’s actually a hidden trick that lets you steal other player’s Ride the Lightning power. As shown in a clip in a Reddit thread, this involves interacting with a trail shaped like the letter “M” that’s left behind on the ground. Doing so will apparently allow you to use the Ride the Lightning mythic without having one in your inventory, which can come in clutch when you’re in the final circle or during a chaotic battle. Though depending on the circle’s location, sometimes it may be tricky to get close to the left behind trail. Still, with the right items and loadout, you could make it out alive and possibly throw the original Ride the Lightning user off guard. After all, with this new mythic joining the loot pool in Chapter 5, Season 3, it’s expected to see the Battle Royale become even more chaotic. As far as community reaction goes, players are divided when it comes to the Ride the Lightning mythic item. Some players dubbed the item “obnoxious,” and it reminded them of Airbending from the previous chapter. But on the other hand, others praised the item as “creative” and “the best mythic ever.”

North America East Words are hard to find to describe how amazing the action was in North America East. Similar to Europe, it went down to the final match between Reverse2K and Cented’s trio. But, at the end of the day, the Chapter 2 Season 4 FNCS Champions are once again at the top of the Fortnite world. North America West The final region that was played produced the most expected results when looking at the trios taking part. Once again, Arkham, Rehx, and EpikWhale have done it again and they are the first trio worldwide to win 3 FNCS in a row. Brazil At the end of the Brazilian region’s festivities, it was the prodigy himself Faze King coming out on top to claim it all. Oceania This was one of the first regions to conclude over the weekend, and the results should not come as a surprise to followers of competitive Fortnite. Muz, looter and Speedy have once again won FNCS, and they are the first back-to-back champions in the world. BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS 🏆🏆 Congratulations to @MuzFN, @looterZK & @SpeedyND on winning OCE Trios FNCS!#EnterTheNewAge pic.twitter.com/s4ii5JhY3o — Team New Age (@NewAgeTNA) May 30, 2021 One note to take into consideration is that this trio will be moving to North America next season, so they will not have a chance to three-peat in OCE. But, with the way they have been playing over the last six months, they are a formidable force that will put everyone on watch next season.

Middle East Another repeat champion was crowned in the Middle East, and similar to Oceanic it was not close at the top of the leaderboard. However, the action in Middle East always delivers and this event did not let fans down. Be sure to check back frequently, as results from other regions are going to start funneling in, and the leaderboards after day one have been highly contested at the top.

Fortnite trick lets you skip annoying grind for Metallica notes Epic GamesA new Fortnite trick lets players skip the grind to collect Metallica music notes and eases the job when completing the quest. Fortnite x Metallica collab is going strong as players are completing event-related quests to claim free cosmetic rewards. Furthermore, the new Festival Battle Stage mode and Metallica songs have users on the grind to complete quests before they are rotated out. One such quest requires players to collect Metallica music notes, as they work like puzzle pieces that fill the gaps in the incomplete picture. However, to collect those notes, players must eliminate enemies or open containers like Chests, Ammo Boxes, Cash Registers, and so on. But each elimination or container will only grant a maximum of two Metallica notes, which can be a stressful grind. To counter this, one player found a trick that lets you collect over 20 notes in minutes. The trick requires you to get your hands on a Repair Torch and visit a Service Station. Once there, equip the Repair Torch and walk closer to the Fuel Pump to refill the torch, even if it’s full. Spam the interact button in front of the pump and you’ll see a bunch of notes falling on the floor. Collect around 20 of those to complete the quest and claim free Metallica quest rewards. This simple yet genius trick baffled players who have spent days grinding. One such player said, “The fact that I’ve both found out just now that you can get notes this fast and refill a goddamn blow torch just blew my mind.” Another person mentioned that players can spam the interact button to repeatedly pick up and release the fuel pump nozzle. This, too, will help speed up quest completion. If you’re looking for more quests around the Metallica collab, we’ve got you covered with our complete hub.

Fortnite trick helps you complete Korra challenge fast and easy Epic GamesAvatar Korra Quests are live in Fortnite and one challenge requires a certain grind, but one easy trick helps you complete it quickly. Fortnite has now unlocked the Avatar Korra quest rewards in Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass as players can now complete a set of challenges to claim the free items tied to the collaboration. Along the quests, a new Waterbending Mythic item was also added to the game which can easily be found as floor loot or in chests and other such containers. While most Korra quests were focused on players finding Mythic items, emerging from water, and dealing damage to players, one challenge tasks you to hire 20 NPC characters or revive teammates 20 times across matches. Since reviving teammates is quite the task, there is an easy trick that lets you hire 20 NPCs quickly. Thanks to a Reddit user, you can easily complete the Korra challenge by hiring an NPC by spending gold bars and heading to a location where another NPC can be hired. There, interact with the NPC available and click on Hire Character. Once you do so, your first NPC/follower will be dismissed. But here’s the trick – you can repeatedly hire and dismiss each of them unless you’ve done this a total of 20 times. However, if you do not want to take the trouble of heading to another location and finding an NPC that can be hired, you can simply dismiss your follower and hire them again and again 20 times for no additional cost. Once you’ve done this repeatedly, your quest progress will increase and you’ll easily complete the quest to unlock the Korra’s Air Glider cosmetic item for free. However, if you want to unlock more rewards from the Avatar Korra tab in the game, check out our complete guide on Avatar Korra Quests right here.

Fortnite player demonstrates how to stop enemies from using your Launchpad in build fights Fortnite build battles are all about patience, sly tactics and, if things go wrong, clean escapes, and this new technique shows how a launchpad escape can be truly untraceable if someone gets into really hot water. The Launchpad is one of Fortnite’s oldest items, having been introduced in November 2017, and has since been a priority to any solo or party looking to make it in the final stages of a match by covering incredible distances to catch up to the zone or surprising groups by dropping in on them. A video by Reddit user domonixx shows how to leave no trace of a used Launchpad as they make their exit from the precarious situation while giving the opponent no chance of following. The video shows two players at the tail-end of a build fight in the waning moments of a game, when one of the combatants decided it was a good time to make his leave. Read more: Fortnite: Dramatic fan-made trailer shows all the Season 7 characters like you’ve never seen before – The player makes a ramp and puts down a platform for his Launchpad but before they go airborne, the player turns around and makes a quick edit to the ramp leading up to the pad. The edit made was changing the orientation of the ramp leading up to the platform so it lay perpendicular, then slimming the ramp by half to keep it from being connected to anything but the platform. With it no longer being connected, the pieces fall away and the Launchpad is destroyed. The edit is tricky but simple and ensures that the placed Launchpad is destroyed by the time anyone other than the person who placed it can use it.

How to attend Trevor Noah’s Jokenite in Fortnite Epic GamesThe JokeNite comedy club just landed in Fortnite, thanks to Epic’s new partnership with comedian Trevor Noah. Here’s how to attend. Numerous celebrities have worked with Epic Games to create memorable in-game events for Fortnite players. The popular online title has played host to acts from DJ Marshmello and Ariana Grande to The Weeknd and Eminem. And it doesn’t appear as though Epic plans on slowing its momentum anytime soon. As such, it should hardly come as a surprise that yet another celebrity has produced content specifically for Fortnite Island. This time, comedian Trevor Noah sits center stage – kind of. The former Daily Show host has produced JokeNite, a comedy club “island” that players can now access to watch sets from four different stand-up comics. How to access Trevor Noah’s JokeNite in Fortnite Anyone looking for a laugh need not look any further than JokeNite, the Trevor Noah-produced island that just hit Epic Games‘ beloved online experience. Fortnite players can enter the island via the “Epic’s Picks” category in Discover or through the following island code: 6296-7829-6524. Epic built the comedy club island with UEFN tools, so players can visit and enjoy “bite-sized sets from four renowned stand-up comedians.” While seated on the island, attendees will be able to watch sets from Matthew Broussard, Marcia Belsky, Scott Seiss, and Preacher Lawson. Each comic takes the form of a different character. Broussard plays the role of Cuddle King, Belsky assumes the part of Opal, Seiss is Grill Sergeant, and Lawson portrays the Wailing Warrior. At the start of the Trevor Noah-created Fortnite show, members of the audience will have the opportunity to vote for the comedians they would like to see perform. In the event that no one casts a vote, a “Mega-Medley” will play pieces from all four acts.

Fortnite trick allows console players to practice against PC opposition The big news from Playstation this week is that Fortnite will be one of the first games to test out cross platform play, but players using controller on console can get some practice in against PC players right now with one simple trick. All console players have to do is queue into game using keyboard and mouse and they will automatically be put into the PC matchmaking pool, according to the latest Fortnite Patch notes. Players who get into the PC matchmaking queue can switch to a controller after they join the queue and play like they normally would. However, players who join regular console matchmaking with a controller won’t have the ability to switch from their controller to mouse and keyboard mid match, and PC players using controllers will still be put in the PC queue. https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/patch-notes/v6-00 This means players who can’t wait to start trying out cross play can get some early practice in against PC players and start putting that “mouse and keyboard are superior to controller” myth to bed once and for all. Previously, the only way for PS4 players to get into the PC matchmaking queue was by adding a PC user on their Epic Friends list and queuing up with them, but this new feature should allow PS4 players to now enter solo mode instead of just squads. Playstation’s cross play announcement was one of the biggest stories of the week, and now game developers are rushing to answer community questions about whether or not their games will support the feature. Read More: How to watch Fortnite Fall Skirmish- Week 2 ‘Royale Flush’ stream, schedule, format, prizing, and more – Yesterday, a spokesperson for Activision said that they were leaving the door open for cross play on several of their titles, which inlcude Overwatch and the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which comes out on October 12.

Travis Scott’s Astronomical Fortnite challenges & rewards leaked Epic GamesNew Travis Scott Astronomical challenges in Fortnite have been leaked by data miners ahead of the Grammy-nominated rapper’s five-show event in Epic’s battle royale, giving players a heads up about what to expect. Travis Scott is a Fortnite mega-fan, and doesn’t hide it. The Houston rapper even jumped into some streamed games with Drake and Ninja in 2018. Now the star is set to get his very own in-game skin and event, and hype has hit fever-pitch. We’ve already seen plenty of hints about where his concerts are going to take place, and we know Cactus Jack will be bringing his own “other-worldly experience” too. Now we know the event’s challenges, thanks to new data leaks. Leaked Travis Scott Astronomical challenges & rewards Fortnite’s v12.41 update patch may still be underway, but leaks have already revealed exactly what the Travis Scott Astronomical challenges will entail. Not only that, but it’s also given us our first look at the rewards contained within too. According to leaks revealed by Fortnite code-diver FortTory, the first mission will see players put on their dancing shoes. The challenge can only be ticked off in two spots though — The Yacht or Apres Ski. Once players have completed the necessary ten seconds of dancing, they’ll earn a warped artwork loading screen of Travis Scott himself, though with a cyborg twist. Travis Scott challenges! pic.twitter.com/6ymxoiGw37 — FortTory – Fortnite leaks & news (@FortTory) April 21, 2020 The second two missions require players to visit a few locations. The first calls for players to “bounce off of different giant Astro heads,” which are likely to appear around the battle royale map once the event begins in earnest. The third challenge is a more simple one. All players have to do to earn a Cactus Jack-style image is “visit the stage north of Sweaty Sands.” This is where Scott and co. will be hosting their five days of Astronomical live shows. If you complete all three Travis Scott challenges, one final reward awaits — an emote based on Scott’s infamous viral concert image. Captured back in 2017, the image depicts him with a mic stand aloft, yelling in front of flames. https://twitter.com/bigracks/status/930664984870379521?s=20 The Astronomical challenges are far from the only thing coming in the massive Travis Scott x Fortnite event either. The game’s biggest data miners have already uncovered new emotes, styles, backblings, and plenty more. There’s also new guns, bug fixes, and a long-awaited Infected LTM landing in the battle royale in the v12.41 update. Check out the full patch notes here.

Fortnite’s Transformers Pack invites players to roll out with new items this fall Epic Games, HasbroEpic Games plans to release a Fortnite Transformers Pack in October that features new Outfits, Emotes, and more. Fortnite is already in the middle of a ground-shaking Transformers crossover, thanks to a Chapter 4 Season 3 update. The collaboration launched just in time for the theatrical release of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Notably, the themed content came in the form of an Optimus Prime skin and a Cybertron Cannon. Evidently, Epic Games and Hasbro haven’t wrapped up their dealings this year. Fortnite is receiving yet another brand crossover with Transformers this October. A Transformers Pack drops into Fortnite later this year Epic has announced a Transformers Pack that will feature a host of new goodies inspired by the robots in disguise. The content will become available at “gaming retailers” on October 13 for PS4/PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, the company announced. Meanwhile, those interested in purchasing the pack digitally can do so starting October 21 on console storefronts or the Epic Games Store. Both versions of the pack will bear a $24.99 price tag. Players can expect the Transformers Pack to boast all of the following items: three new Outfits, three Back Blings, three Pickaxes, two Emotes, and 1,000 V-Bucks. A blog post on the Fortnite website offers more insight into Fortnite’s upcoming Transformers-centric pack. Bumblebee will serve as one of three characters, receiving an Outfit, Wings Back Bling, and Stinger Sword Pickaxe. Villainous Decepticon Megatron counts as the second Outfit, which will also come with a Decepticon Emblem Back Bling and Energon Mace Pickaxe. Finally, instead of another Autobot or Decepticon, Fortnite’s BattleBus will appear in the pack as a Transformers-themed Outfit. This part of the pack should additionally include a Bot Air Balloon Back Bling and Pick Axle Pickaxe. Epic has yet to showcase how the new skins look in action, but a trailer should go live before the pack arrives in October.

Fortnite could be gearing up for a Transformers crossover Hasbro/Paramount PicturesLeaked images and a tease from Epic Games seem to suggest Fortnite will soon receive Transformers crossover content of some kind. Should such a deal come to pass, it would not mark Epic Games’ first rodeo with a Hasbro-owned brand. In 2021, the two companies teamed up to add G.I. Joe-branded content to Fortnite. The collaboration notably brought Snake Eyes to the Island several months before the character’s solo film hit theaters. Since Paramount Pictures’ Transformers movie franchise recently celebrated its 15th anniversary, now seems as good a time as any for Hasbro’s other big-name property to debut in Fortnite. A Transformers crossover could soon come to Fortnite Fortnite leaker Shiina recently compiled a list of clues that suggest Transformers content is currently in the works. In addition to Hasbro and Paramount celebrating the film franchise’s milestone year, the Epic-run Fortnite Status account recently tweeted “It’s Prime time” about Update v21.30. (It’s worth noting that “Prime” actually references the Prime Shotgun included in the game’s newly released 21.30 patch.) Shiina also called attention to an ongoing build on the Fortnite map that features a blue bus propped up by two cars as its legs. Another leaks-centric page, InTheShade, later shared a work-in-progress screenshot of a vehicle codenamed “PlateHawk.” Interestingly, the vehicle appears to be a mech that players will enter. Of course, all of the above could constitute mere coincidence that has nothing to do with a potential Fortnite and Transformers crossover. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility, though, especially since – as noted above – Epic Games and Hasbro have worked together closely in the past. In recent months, Epic has brought several pop culture figures into the world of Fortnite for the first time, including the likes of Doctor Strange and Indiana Jones.

Here are the locations we know about so far. It’s become a tradition for each Fortnite season to have a customizable skin in the Battle Pass, such as the alien Kymera and the colorful Toona Fish, where players need to collect resources to unlock new looks. In Chapter 3 Season 3, the current customizable skin is Snap. With enough Tover Tokens, players will be able to gather new parts to customize his head, arms, legs, and torso, a little bit like an action figure. To get there, though, you’ll need to find those Tover Tokens. Below, you’ll find all the token locations we’ve discovered so far, as well as details on when the next set of Snap styles will be released. Contents Where to find Tover Tokens in Fortnite – How to customize Snap skin – When will more Snap styles be released? – Where to find Tover Token locations in Fortnite Here are all of the Tover Token locations in Fortnite and the Snap styles they unlock: Rave Cave – Pimento Head – Condo Canyon – Raw Power Head – Shifty Shafts – ‘Mato Head – Sanctuary – Techa-Snap Head – The Ruins – Sgt.

How to customize Fortnite Snap skin with Tover Tokens In order to get the new Snap skin, you’ll first need to purchase the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass. Then, you can unlock Snap from the first page of rewards by spending nine Battle Stars on it. Once you’ve got Snap, you can unlock new parts to customize him with by finding Tover Tokens. Each customizable part is linked to a set of Tover Tokens hidden in a specific marked area on the Fortnite map. This is different from previous customizable skins, where you would use the tokens you found to purchase each customization. You can keep track of the Snap pieces you’ve unlocked in the Battle Pass menu. When will more Snap styles be released in Fortnite? There are only a limited amount of Snap styles available to unlock right now, but the next set of pieces should be released on Thursday, June 23, 2022, with another set available the week after. This is when the current in-game countdown ends, but the date could always change, as it has done with other timed Battle Pass releases in previous Fortnite seasons. We’ll keep you updated if that happens. Make sure you check out our Fortnite home page for the latest news and guides.

Top five rarest Fortnite skins, gliders, pickaxes, and emotes in 2024 Epic gamesFortnite has thousands of cosmetic items in the game with some being considered much rarer than others, so here’s the lists for the top five skins, gliders, pickaxes, and emotes. The rarity of Fortnite cosmetics has proven to be difficult to determine over the years as there is no official ranking provided for them by Epic Games. Instead, with the Battle Royale being out since 2017, fans have determined how rare they are based on how long since a particular skin, glider, emote, or pickaxe has appeared in the Item Shop, Battle Pass, or through exclusive collaboration bundles. Furthermore, the oldest items for each are also rare because, in the early periods of the game release, there were not nearly as many people playing in comparison. For the rarest of them all, there are also certain items that are so rare that only a handful of players have access to them in the game. This makes them almost impossible for fans to come across or get for themselves. Here is a complete list for each of the top five rarest Fortnite skins, gliders, pickaxes, and emotes in the game for 2024. Rarest skins in Fortnite Fortnite skins are the most beloved and valued cosmetic items in the game, which are wearable by your playable character. The top five rarest skins in Fortnite can be seen ranked in the table below. The Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper skins are two rarest skins in Fortnite, which both haven’t been available in the game since its very first season in 2017. This is followed by the Samsung exclusive promotion Galaxy skin, which is no longer available, but has been teased to return by the electronic company. Rounding it out is the Fortnite World Cup special outfit World Warrior, followed by the iconic Black Knight skin from Season 2. Rarest gliders in Fortnite The top 3 rarest gliders were all first released in the very first season of Fortnite and were last seen in 2019, similar to the rest of the gliders in the ranked list below. Rusty Rider first appeared in Season 3, followed by Engage which was released in Season 9. Rarest pickaxes in Fortnite The most rare pickaxe and item of all in the game is the FNCS Axe of Champions which is only obtainable by players who are the current FNCS champions. As soon as new champions are crowned after each FNCS finals then the item is handed over to the next winners. This is followed by early classics, such as the Permafrost pickaxe which featured in Season 5, Raiders Revenge from Season 1, Merry Mint Axe from Chapter 2 Season 1 and finally Trusty No. 2 from Season 3. Rarest emotes in Fortnite Last but not least, emotes. The Fresh emote has long rained as the rarest emote in Fortnite with no signs of being knocked off it’s top spot, where it was first released in Season 1. Next up, is the fan favorite Orange Justice which was only available in Season 4’s Battle Pass and was added due to it’s popularity from Fortnite’s Boogie Down dance competition, despite not even winning. This is followed by the iconic Head Banger emote released in Chapter 2, Kiss The Cup which released in the first Fortnite World Cup and Bulletproof from Season 9. That’s all the complete lists of the top 5 rarest skins, gliders, pickaxes and emotes in Fortnite.

‘Hold The Fort’ Fortnite tournament to support trans charities with top streamers Epic GamesA new tournament called Hold The Fort will be held in the popular battle royale Fortnite, with 100 streamers joining forces to raise money for transgender charities. With anti-transgender bills being proposed (and passed) across the United States and hate towards LGBTQ+ people on the rise, a charity tournament called Hold The Fort is hoping to raise money to support trans and non-binary people. A total of 100 streamers including Blaustoise, Ro Ramdin, Will Neff, and Caroline Kwan are expected to board Fortnite’s Battle Bus for the charity tournament. It will be streamed live on April 8, 2023 at 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 8PM BST, so everyone can tune in and show their support. “The rise of legislation codifying the elimination of transgender people was the biggest motivating factor for me in organizing this event,” said Emma, director for Hold The Fort. “Seeing bills being passed to criminalize gender-affirming care or to take trans children away from supportive parents makes me scared for my transgender, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ friends. Legislation like the bills being passed takes lives.” When asked why Fortnite was the game chosen for this charity tournament, Emma told us it was partly because the game allows 100 players at a time, and partly because the game is “fairly user-friendly and free to download” which makes it easier for streamers to participate. It won’t just be LGBTQ+ streamers taking part in the tournament; there will also be allies showing their support – something that Emma hopes will bring more attention to the issues currently being faced by trans and non-binary people. “Having allies involved helps get the conversation around trans rights started in spaces that aren’t as aware of the current risks to LGBTQ+ rights,” they explained. One streamer lending their time to the tournament is Caroline Kwan, who said that while she “may not know anything about Fortnite”, she does know “how important it is to fight for trans rights”. “With the spiking assaults on the liberties and lives of transgender people, now is as important a time as ever to raise money and awareness in order to protect a vulnerable population under attack,” she said. “I, along with all those participating in Hold the Fort, stand with the trans community in solidarity.” With hate raids – where trolls target a streamer because of their identity – being an ever-present concern for members of the LGBTQ+ community, Emma says there are preparations in place just in case this happens during the event. “Hate raids and abuse against LGBTQ+ streamers have been seriously considered in the planning of Hold the Fort. We have a team of fantastic mods from much larger communities working to prepare anyone streaming this event and ensure their safety on the day of,” they explained. “Thankfully, Twitch has also put in place new tools to help minimize the frequency and damages of these hate raids, and we encourage other platforms to follow suit as quickly as possible.” All money raised from the tournament will go to the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, which helps trans and non-binary people access pro-bono legal help for name changes, challenges legislation threatening trans lives, and works to educate trans people on their rights. Although this tournament isn’t endorsed or sponsored by Epic Games, Fortnite does have a decent history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community. As well as hosting an annual Pride event called Rainbow Royale, they previously released a skin based on Dreamer, the trans superhero from DC’s television series Supergirl. The Hold The Fort tournament is expected to take place on April 8, 2023, at 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 8PM BST. You can find out more information or donate by visiting their website.

Fortnite: Top five most useless weapons and items ever to be added There have been a lot of weapons and items in Fortnite Battle Royale throughout its existence, and some have been pretty much useless. Since its release in September 2017, Fortnite has seen its pool of items, weapons, and vehicles grow and change dramatically. As a result, there have been some things added to the game that the player-base instantly turned away from hardly picked up during matches. It’s hard to blame Epic Games for that however, since the developers come up with ideas on a daily basis and not every single idea turns out to be a success. That being said, we’ve taken a trip down the memory lane in Fortnite to come up with a list of the top five most useless/under-powered weapons and items that have ever been added to the game. Some of these items no longer exist in the core modes of the game and have been vaulted, while others continue to come out of Supply Drops and Loot Chests only to be hardly ever picked up. #5 – Port-a-Fort When the Port-a-Fort was first added, many were afraid that it would be too overpowered, but with almost everyone now having the ability to build basic structures, the item has become useless. Not only does its large size attract the attention of enemies, even from afar, it also offers very little real cover since any half-decent player can just counter it easily. #4 – Chiller Trap The Chiller Traps were added in replacement of Bouncers, and they’ve contributed almost nothing to the game except a few funny clips. They offer no real use to anyone, especially since both the player who places and enemies are vulnerable to its effects. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t trade the Chillers back for the Bouncers. #3 – Smoke Grenade The Smoke Grenade is the first item on this list so far to have been vaulted. The reason it was given the axe was due to the lack of use by players, since almost no one bothered to waste an inventory spot on it. While the premise of the item is known to work in other games and game types, it just didn’t fit in with Fortnite. The Stink Bomb is a much more viable and useful replacement. #2 – Bush It was hard not ranking the Bush item as the most useless item in Fortnite’s history, but it’s definitely up there. While the item is supposed to offer camouflage to the user, it’s almost obvious when someone is hiding in one. The reasons for its uselessness are plenty: it takes up a valuable inventory spot, it’s destroyed any time a player takes damage, it blocks the field of view when aiming down sights, it makes a lot of noise when moving, and it doesn’t lie flat the ground unless the user is crouching. There is no more deflating feeling in Fortnite than opening a Supply Drop or Loot Chest and seeing a Legendary Bush fly out of it. Honorable Mentions Before we get to the number one most useless thing in Fortnite, let’s take a look at some of the weapons and items that are just useful enough to avoid landing in the top five. The honorable mention list includes: Revolver (vaulted), Balloons, Minigun, and semi-auto Sniper Rifle (vaulted). #1 – Crossbow It’s hard to imagine there being a more useless item in the history of Fortnite than the Crossbow. Added during Season 2 and vaulted at the start of Season 4, the Crossbow was perhaps the most frustrating thing to get in a Supply Drop or Loot Chest. The only time anyone ever picked it up was either out of desperation at the start of a match or if they were trying to hit some lucky long range shot for a Twitter clip. Either way you will not find a single Fortnite player who is complaining or unhappy about the fact that the Crossbow is no longer in the game. Good riddance. Do you agree with our list? If not, which weapons and/or items that weren’t included do you think should have been on this list? Let us know by tweeting your lists of most useless Fortnite item to us @Dexerto. You can also check our previous top five Fortnite list, which lists the most overpowered items and weapons to ever be added to the game.
