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\u2019s Super Styles for the Battle Pass, and gives Steamy Stacks some changes. Below, we\u2019re 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. \ud83c\udf36\ufe0f 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 \u2014 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\u2019s also appeared at the location, although Epic have teased that something may have \u201cescaped from the ground\u201d\u2026 perhaps this is in preparation for Fortnitemares? Here’s what’s been destroyed at Steamy! pic.twitter.com\/4mBuMffOUR \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 28, 2021 New item: Chili Chug Splash A new variation of the Chug Splash item has arrived, and it\u2019s 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 \u2013 if you\u2019re 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\u2019s Super Styles have arrived. The three Super Styles for each character are Blue Rune, Purple Rune, and Golden Rune. It doesn\u2019t look like Carnage has any Super Styles \u2013 at least not for now. New \u2018Fortnitemares\u2019 Halloween skins In preparation for this year\u2019s Fortnitemares event, a bunch of Halloween-themed skins have been added to the game. They\u2019re not in the store yet, but they should be added over the next couple of weeks. These skins include a \u2018Geometrik\u2019 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.
