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\u2019t stopping there, as there\u2019s 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 &#038; 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\u2019s always remained a mystery\u2026 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.

We don\u2019t 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\u2019s 18.21 update, and this week she\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s because there\u2019s a string in the Cube Queen\u2019s effects that refers to something called \u201cPyramid Tip,\u201d 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&#8217;s a string in the Cube Queen&#8217;s effects that refers to her as the &#8220;&#8221;Pyramid Tip&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite update 18.30 patch notes: Mountain Base POI, new weapons, Boogie Bomb Epic GamesFortnite update 18.30 is here, and it\u2019s bringing loads of new content including the Redacted Bunker POI, more Fortnitemares items, and a new weapon vote.
