Leaked Epic Games Store Free Game Today – December 21st, 2024
Three years ago, the majority of the free Epic Games store giveaways were leaked ahead of time. Last year, there were only a few leaks, but Epic provided daily hints as to what the new free game would be.
Dealabs user Billbil-kun is the best person to provide leaks for the Epic Games store free games for 2024, and it looks like we know what today’s free game will be.
Once we know the free Epic Games store game for December 21st, 2024, we’ll update this article.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite 2024 Christmas Winterfest event including the start date.
Although we had a new chapter release a few weeks ago, players are always looking toward the next major Fortnite update.
In this week’s v33.11 update, Epic Games included all the files and assets for this year’s Fortnite Christmas event, Winterfest.
The event is usually well-received by the community. However, Epic decided to remove the Winterfest Cabin and daily presents last year, which led to many complaints in the community.
Thankfully, there’s official confirmation that the Winterfest Cabin will be making a return for this year’s Fortnite Christmas event.
Here’s everything else we know about Fortnite Winterfest 2024 including the start date.
When Will Fortnite Winterfest 2024 Start?
We have confirmation that the 2024 Fortnite Christmas Winterfest event will begin on Friday, 20th December 2024.
The event will run until January 7th, 2025. Here’s the tweet from popular data miner Hypex confirming the start date:
What to Expect During Fortnite Winterfest 2024
As with all the previous Christmas Fortnite events, players can expect to get free cosmetic rewards by completing challenges and this year, by opening a daily present in the cabin.
There will be two free Christmas-themed skins, something we’ve seen for the last few years of the event. Thankfully, popular data miner Hypex has leaked all the rewards.
The two free skins this year will be Snoop Dogg and Yulejacket, both of which can be seen below:
We’ll also see snow added to the map. It’s not known if the entire map will be covered in snow, but we do know a large section of the map will be. We’ve included the snow map below.
Players can expect new challenges/quests to complete along with the return of Winterfest-themed items that were available in previous years.
We’ll have the full lowdown of the Winterfest event tomorrow.
Epic Games is releasing the final update of 2024, v33.11, today, which includes the Winterfest update. Here’s everything you need to know, including server downtime information on December 18th, 2024.
It’s been a few weeks since Epic Games released Fortnite Chapter 6, including the re-release of Fortnite OG (season 1).
With all the new content, players have been still looking forward to the release of this year’s Fortnite Christmas event, Winterfest.
Last year’s Christmas event wasn’t well received due to Epic removed the Winterfest Cabin and the daily presents that come with it.
With the new release, data miners will likely leak all the new content that’ll come with this year’s Christmas event, and we’ll include them in the post below.
Alongside the new content, we’ll have information on the server downtime below.
Is Fortnite Down Today – December 18 2024 Server Status
Before the release of every major Fortnite update, Epic Games takes the servers down for scheduled maintenance to apply the new patch.
Typically, Epic will take the Fortnite servers down at 4 AM ET / 9 AM ET. However, last night, Epic announced that the servers will go offline on December 18th, 2024, at 7 AM ET.
As with all updates, there’s no information as to when the servers will be back online, but it’s likely the servers will be down for three hours with the servers back up at 10 AM ET / 3 PM GMT / 4 PM CET.
We’ll update this section of the article when the servers are back online.
We have our first Fortnite update of Chapter 6 today, v33.10 (1.000.161 / 4.50). Here are the patch notes for the release.
Epic Games released a new chapter just over a week ago, bringing a new map, movement mechanics, loot pool, and much more.
The release of OG Fortnite followed up the new season along with an update to fix minor bugs and improve the XP rate for the latest chapter.
Epic is releasing a brand new Fortnite update today, v33.10 (1.000.161 / 4.50) which will include the files for two major upcoming game modes.
Here’s everything you need to know about the December 10th, 2024 Fortnite update including server downtime information.
Is Fortnite Down Today? December 10th, 2024 Scheduled Server Downtime
Whenever Epic Games releases a major patch update, they need to take the servers offline for a few hours to prepare them for the latest game files.
Today’s update is no different and Epic Games announced the Fortnite servers will be down on 10th December 2024.
The Fortnite servers will go down at 4 AM ET with matchmaking being disabled shortly beforehand, likely 30 minutes prior.
Here’s the official tweet from the Fortnite Status account:

We’ll update this section of the article when the servers are back online.
Welcome to Ballistic, a new first-person Fortnite experience. Launching in early access on December 11 with Ranked + Unranked, Ballistic is an adrenaline-filled, round-based 5v5 competitive game mode where strategy, tactical teamwork, and individual prowess are essential for victory.
First Person, Full Impact
What does early access mean for Ballistic? Ballistic is launching with the Skyline 10 map, a starting set of weapons, and a limited number of items. Adjustments will be made beyond launch based on player feedback, in addition to major updates such as new maps, weapons, and features.
Ballistic is launching in early access with the Skyline 10 map, with more maps to come in the future.
Ballistic is a no-build mode. All saved presets from your Locker will carry over into Ballistic, which supports existing Fortnite Outfits, Back Blings, Kicks, Wraps, Sprays, and Emotes! Pickaxes, Contrails, Instruments, Vehicles, and Jam Tracks are not used/supported.
At launch, Ballistic will be available on all platforms and regions where Fortnite is supported, with the exceptions of South Korea and Russia. We’re working to make Ballistic available in both regions and will provide an update when we have news to share.
Round By Round
In Ballistic, players are sorted into two teams at the start of the match: attackers and defenders. Attackers aim to plant a reality-tearing Rift Point Device at one of two sites on the map, while defenders do their best to thwart the device from being planted and detonated.
The Rift Point Device
There are no respawns in Ballistic — a round is over if the Rift Point Device explodes, or either team is fully eliminated. After 6 rounds, players will swap sides, giving defenders a chance to be attackers and vice-versa. The game is over when either team has won 7 rounds total!
Go Ballistic!
You’ll start the game with a Ranger Pistol and 800 Credits. In Ballistic, Credits can be earned from scoring eliminations and planting the Rift Point Device, and spent within a match at the beginning of every round on additional items and weapons to bolster your chances of success.
Survive a round and you’ll keep all of your gear and shields for the next one, minus any consumable items you’ve used. You can drop weapons, smoke grenades, and flashbangs at any time for your teammates, and pick them up from eliminated players.
The Rift Point Device takes 45 seconds to detonate after it’s planted. If it’s successfully defended, you’ll want to move a fair distance away or run the risk of being eliminated in the device’s blast radius. Getting eliminated by the blast means losing any gear you may have.
You can check the scoreboard at any time during a Ballistic match to see how you and your teammates are doing, and to know what weapons and items your teammates are working with.
Assault rifles are the bread and butter of Ballistic, great for both medium and long range encounters.
Shotguns are your best friend when it’s time to get up close and personal.
Quick and deadly, submachines are a weapons class that pairs well with the element of surprise.
By the time you hear one of these go off, it may be too late.
Trusted, reliable, compact, and excellent when you’re on a budget.
Create a wall of smoke to obscure an enemy’s line of sight.
Toss in a Flashbang to blind opponents before skirmishing. But beware, you can blind yourself and your teammates if you’re not careful!
Flex Gadgets
Every Ballistic match starts with players on each team selecting one of five Flex Gadgets that they alone will be able to purchase and use during the match. Players can purchase the gadget they’ve selected and hold two of their Flex Gadgets in their inventory each round, which cannot be dropped or picked up from other players. When used correctly, Flex Gadgets can have a huge impact on the outcome of a round.
Select the Proximity Mine to place a damaging mine down on the floor, wall, or ceiling to surprise an unsuspecting enemy. They can be picked back up and placed again and will explode if shot. Great for booby-trapping sites when defending!
The Bubble Shield allows for throwing down a temporary protective bubble that’s impervious to bullets and projectiles such as grenades. It’s great for providing a shield for your team as you storm onto a site.
The Recon Grenade gadget marks any enemies detected nearby where it’s thrown, even through walls. Throw a Recon gadget onto a site before entering to get a read on who might be waiting to get the drop on you.
Old faithful! A thrown Frag Grenade will bounce and explode, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Careful — you’ll take damage from your own grenades (though your allies will not). Great for flushing players out from behind cover.
The Impulse Grenade gadget is a disruptive tool that launches enemies and allies away. It has many creative uses, such as launching teammates onto a site from afar.
Unranked & Ranked
Unranked play offers a more casual Ballistic experience if you’re just looking to have fun with friends or try out the mode. This is a great place to practice your aim and get a feel for the Flex Gadgets. If a player drops from an Unranked match, another player will be added as a backfill. After an Unranked match ends, players have the option to remain on the same server.
Ranked is for those who want to test their talents against other players in a more competitive environment. Ranked matches will not backfill players should someone leave — if you leave a Ranked match, a rank penalty will be applied and you will not be able to join another match for a period of time.
Players who disconnect from a match have a 3-minute grace period to reconnect before the penalty is applied. More information can be found by clicking on your current rank on the bottom right of the screen while in the lobby for Ballistic, then selecting “Leaver Penalties”. These penalties may change over time to ensure that players who join a Ranked match play their best and stay for the whole match.
Unlike Ranked Battle Royale and Reload, matchmaking in Ranked Ballistic is based on the average rank of your party, not your party’s highest-ranking member. We’ll be closely monitoring feedback around Ranked matchmaking and will make adjustments as needed.
The winning team gains rank in Ballistic and the losing team loses rank. The exact amount each player gains or loses is influenced by the following (in order from most to least impactful): their current rank, rounds won, rounds lost, eliminations, and assists. AFK or leaving players will have an additional rank loss. Your rank will be protected if you lose your first match of the day.
Settings Options for Ballistic
Adjust your settings to fit your playstyle. New “Reticle & Damage Feedback” options have been added under Game UI in the Settings menu. You can now customize and set the following:
Show Spread (First Person) – Toggle whether the reticle will expand to show your weapon’s spread.
Show Recoil (First Person) – Toggle whether the reticle will move away from the screen center to show recoil.
Light the fuse. Ballistic launches in Early Access on December 11, 2024!

In LEGO Fortnite Odyssey the Storm King has thundered onto the scene in the survival mode’s latest update: Storm Chasers! With his storm-wild legion, led by Raven, the Storm King has everything he needs to complete his sinister quest to consume all. It’s up to you and your friends to stop him!
Find the Storm Chaser Village, meet new friends, and build up the strength to take down this electrifying evil. As you go about your journey, battle all-new foes, brave perilous dungeons, and build powerful new weapons using improved crafting mechanics.
Your Journey Begins With the Storm Chaser Village!
You’re not the only one trying to fight back against the Storm King… so are the Storm Chasers! You’ll find this heroic ensemble of do-gooders, including their determined leader Carl Ruckus and the big-brained Meteorologist Dr. Borrasca, taking cover in the Storm Chaser Village.
As you get to know the crew, they’ll give you goals to complete while you’re out on your adventures that’ll help you progress toward your ultimate goal of defeating the Storm King. Got various requests to complete? Keep track of your progress using your handy Journal! From here, you can also pin goals to your HUD to easily track them from across your current world.
Head Out Into the Storm
You’re gonna need more than an umbrella to deal with these storms. The Storm King’s invasion has warped the very fabric of reality, causing enormous storm systems to appear at random locations across the map!
There are tons of secrets waiting for those brave enough to venture into these shrouded areas… just try not to get zapped by Lightning Strikes as you explore.
You’ll find a Storm Dungeon at the center of the storms, each of which holds a fragment of the Storm King’s electrifying power at its core. Navigate your way through the dangers to strike a blow to his almighty influence, and get one step closer to liberating your world. Just be careful as the closer you get to the end, the bigger the dangers you’ll have to contend with!
Once you conquer a Storm Dungeon, the surrounding storm will disappear – meaning you’re free to explore the area without fear of being zapped. But it won’t take long for the Storm King’s thunderous might to recharge. After 24 hours, conquered Storm Dungeons are reborn with new pathways, dangers, and puzzles. Be prepared to conquer a new challenge every time!
Introducing the Villains!
Prepare to take on the Storm King’s Acolytes! This ferocious faction of fanatics is causing havoc throughout the worlds of LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Keep your eyes peeled for the Acolyte’s most Elite units, who have special abilities granted to them by the villainous king himself. Be wary of the Storm Crawlers too, they give a nasty shock!
Raven
The Storm King’s right-hand man! Raven will appear somewhere within the world after you’ve helped the Storm Chasers significantly advance their village. Defeat this fearsome foe, and you’ll be able to break the arcane lock keeping a mysterious gateway at the centre of your world’s largest storm closed…
Raven
The Storm King
Send this menacing monarch back to his own dimension! Step through the gateway after taking down Raven and you’ll be teleported to the Storm King’s lair. This multi-stage boss battle will be the ultimate test of your wits, battle skills, and survival instincts — bringing along some friends for reinforcements is highly recommended.
Emerge victorious, and you’ll be well-rewarded for your heroic efforts with epic loot! Drops include the Thunderclap Blade, Cyclone Pickaxe, and Shatterhorn Fragments, which you can use to craft powerful weapons and improved tools. But the fight isn’t over just yet… After 24 hours, the Storm King will power back up! Gather your friends and take him down again to earn more rewards.
The Storm King
New Adventure? New Gameplay Mechanics!
The Storm Chasers Update comes with an electrifying number of gameplay improvements, from an overhaul of progression systems to all-new crafting systems.
Progress your adventure anywhere, anytime
From the dusty sands to the frozen wildlands — the enemy difficulty has now been equalized across biomes, giving you the freedom to take your adventure anywhere you choose! To improve balance further, the health and damage of enemies have also been adjusted across the board.
Component-based Crafting
Build your way out of any situation, with whatever you’ve got to hand. The Storm Chasers Update introduces Component-based crafting, meaning you’ve now got more flexibility to decide which materials you’d like to use to build your favorite weapons and tools. But think carefully, as the quality of the materials you decide to use when crafting will affect the attributes and rarity of the end result.
Several improvements have also been made to resource-gathering to make it more intuitive. Wood, Stone, Metal, Gem, and Rift are each assigned a Power Tier that conveys their rarity, with Wood being the lowest (Common) and Rift being the highest (Legendary).
The Legendary Forge
Build your ultimate end-game weapon! The Legendary Forge is an upgrade station you can build to boost your gear to new heights. Imbue a Tier 4 weapon or Tool with Rift Crystals, unlocking its yet-untapped potential. You must then use the Rifted item to increase the Rift energy flowing through it, until it evolves into its final form, unlocking hidden stats! The Storm King won’t know what hit him.
Down but Not Out
Peely is down, someone help him up! When you run out of health, other players and NPCs can now revive you and get you back into battle.
Vehicle-Guided Builds
Travel the world in style with these new guided Builds! The Lil’ Barge is just the thing for minifigures who prefer to keep dry while navigating the waters, while the speedy Storm Chaser will get you from A to B in no time. You can unlock these Builds by progressing through the Storm King’s Questline.
Bring along a friend with Couch Co-Op!
The Storm King will fall twice as fast with two heroes! LEGO Fortnite Odyssey is fully compatible with split-screen on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
Here’s a quick reminder on how to access split-screen in LEGO Fortnite:
Start Fortnite and go to the LEGO Fortnite Lobby.
Connect the second controller.
Select the second player’s console account. (Note: Guest and Quick Play console accounts are not supported.)
After picking a console account, Fortnite will automatically ask the player to link their Epic account. (If they link their Epic account, they can access their Locker Outfits, Passes, Quests, and other progress.)
After the second player is logged into Fortnite, they will appear in the Lobby.
Hold onto your bricks… Split-screen mode will automatically begin when you start LEGO Fortnite!
LEGO Pass: Chill & Thrill
Taking down the Storm King is thirsty work, so grab a refreshment at Peely’s Juice Bar! This Decor Bundle is just one of the oddities you’ll find to add to your Odyssey in the Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass!
The Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass will use the newly announced progression system. That means it’ll be included as part of Crew and will be progressed using XP acquired from any source across Fortnite! This pass will also have only one track, including free and premium rewards.
There are five Decor Bundles you can grab for free in the Chill & Thrill Pass, as well as two Loading Screens, three Player Banners, and the Raven’s Mausoleum Build. They say it’s where villains like to roost.
You’ll be able to unlock an additional 11 Decor Bundles by purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade for 1,400 V-Bucks, including the Lounge Tent and Arcade Tent! There are also extra Builds up for grabs, including the Main Stage Build as the final Premium reward in the Pass.
After purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade, you’ll instantly unlock the Raven Team Syd Outfit. Whether you’re using its LEGO Style or Fortnite Style, it’s hauntingly cheerful.
Heads-up! The LEGO Chill & Thrill Pass will be available to progress until March 11 at 4 AM ET. Its free rewards, premium rewards, and the Raven Team Syd Outfit reward are not exclusive to the Pass, as you may be able to purchase them in the Fortnite Shop later.

Become the ultimate socialite and hang out in restaurants, house parties, and rooftop clubs. Activities in LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life are better together too; host a band practice down the beach, grab a bite to eat with friends, or race through the streets on hoverboards.
You’ll also decorate your own home with a wide range of LEGO furniture, afforded by taking on an assortment of jobs — from a mystical Fortune Teller to a hard-working Sushi Chef.
Start your dream job
First things first, you’re going to need to make a living — which means you’ll need to get a job! Whatever you fancy, there’s a profession for everyone in Brick Bay. Here are just a few of the different roles you can take:

As the wind blows, the sun rises on a beautiful new island, shrouded in mystery and mystical energy. In its darkest corners, demons dwell, wreaking havoc with their masks of chaotic power. Great heroes must rise to drive back the ancient evils that roam this land. Become a ronin and cut through the darkness to find the light in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS (Demon Hunters)!
Legends Come to Life
Welcome to the Chapter 6 map, where cherry blossoms fall on soil long-protected by spiritual forces and timeworn magic. It’s here you’ll make a name for yourself as a demon hunter.
Ancient Architecture
Virtue is found in tradition. Vanquish the lesser demons laying siege to the grand structure of the Warrior’s Watch, train for combat duty at Flooded Frogs, or ascend the mountain peak to test your mettle against foes at Shogun’s Solitude.
Modern Marvels
The dense commercial district of Seaport City redefines close quarters, while the Shining Span connects it to neighboring villages such as Canyon Crossing, a cliffside getaway complete with competing bun shops.
Supernatural Secrets
In-between the serene landscapes lies sacred ground such as the overgrown Magic Mosses with its obelisks and underground treasures and the Nightshift Forest, where the sun does not shine. Watching over it all is The Great Turtle, a venerable old soul, searching for its lost partner.
Ready Your Blade
Dispel the spreading darkness by hunting the dangerous Shogun X, a powerful demon warrior that rampages across the island gathering spirit energy. Defeat Shogun X for the Wanderer Medallion, which grants infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting.
Beware of Night Rose, whose spirit has been known to stalk those who enter her domain with surprise attacks from another realm. She drops the Night Rose Medallion on elimination, which makes your weapons reload themselves.
Magic & Gunpowder
Chapter 6 Season 1 introduces new weapon Expertise Quests, where completing combat quests such as damaging or eliminating players with certain weapons will reward XP and unlock the option to purchase a Legendary version of that weapon type from characters on the map.
All traditional weapons in Battle Royale Chapter 6 will be hitscan! Chapter 6 features futuristic firearms such as the Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Fury Assault Rifle, Veiled Precision SMG, Surgefire SMG, Sentinel Pump, Twinfire Auto Shotgun, and Oni Shotgun.
Unsheath the devastatingly precise Typhoon Blade and unleash a flurry of rapid strikes. While wielding it, you’ll consume less stamina while sprinting and sprint faster.
Lesser demons around the island will drop their masks of power when defeated. Don the Fire Oni Mask and launch homing flame projectiles for big damage, or teleport with the Void Oni Mask to reposition and outplay opponents!
Sprites, Sprite Shrines, and Boons
Endearing and helpful, Sprites are the living representation of Magic returned to the Island. Found roving all over, these innocent creatures provide unique effects.
Air Sprites can be thrown to create an updraft wind vortex that can send you flying with a glider redeploy. The vortex can also damage builds and launch vehicles.
Water Sprites can be thrown to create a healing fountain that restores health and shields to nearby players.
Earth Sprites will consume items you feed them in exchange for a reward.
Bring a Sprite to one of the forgotten Sprite Shrines around the Island to revitalize them and gain a powerful Boon. Boons, which drop from bosses and can also be found in Chests, are consumed on pickup and persist even after elimination.
Fire Boon – Reload your weapons faster.
Void Boon – Eliminating players reveals other players nearby.
Wind Boon – Move faster while your Pickaxe is equipped.
Water Boon – Swimming grants Health and Shields to yourself and nearby swimming squadmates.
Ride in Style
Calling all speed freaks! Leave enemies in the dust with the new Rogue Bike, a modern motorcycle great for popping wheelies and doing donuts. You can also put pedal to metal in the Void Burn, a sporty high-performance two-door that’ll swiftly get you where you want to be.
New Movement Features
Chapter 6 adds Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble to the core movement of Fortnite! These new movement features will be universally applied across Battle Royale, Reload, Fortnite OG, and Creator-made islands.
Ledge Jump
Parkour! Jump while sprinting very close to a ledge, be it a cliff or a rooftop, and you’ll perform a Ledge Jump! Ledge Jumps will send you farther, allowing you to reach places you normally wouldn’t be able to. Hit a Ledge Jump with some speed for some serious hang time.
Roll Landing
Keep it moving. Chapter 6 introduces Roll Landing, where holding Jump or tapping it just before hitting the ground while falling will cause you to do a barrel roll, restoring some stamina in the process.
Wall Kick
Jumping against a vertical surface to your side while in the air will allow you to perform a Wall Kick! Wall Kicks will launch you off of walls in the direction of your choosing. Weave Wall Kicks into your traversal and combat maneuvers to keep your foes on their toes. You can mantle, hit a Roll Landing, or even perform another Wall Kick off of a Wall Kick!
Wall Scramble
Jumping against a vertical surface in front of you will allow for a Wall Scramble! Reach that high ledge by taking a few big strides up a wall. If it’s mantle-able, you’ll mantle up automatically. Press Jump at any point while doing a Wall Scramble to perform a Wall Kick.
Introducing Simple Edit
Simple Edit, a new build setting you can toggle on in the Settings menu, allows for editing builds with a single button press. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you’re looking at rather than being painted manually — it automatically executes building edits immediately, removing the step of selecting tiles altogether.
Simple Edit makes editing on the fly a breeze, and it should also prove helpful for players who are new to building in Fortnite or interested in learning. Simple Edit allows for a smaller subset of edits to choose from, and masters of the current edit system will have more edit options available.
As with any major addition to Fortnite, we’ll be gathering data and feedback on Simple Edit and may make adjustments to the system in the future.
Slay the Demons with the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass
Grab the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks and unlock premium rewards by earning XP anywhere in Fortnite. You can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks back by progressing the pass, along with some seriously stellar Outfits:
Nyanja (unlocked right away!): Two-tailed trickster.
Jade: Discover the Island’s myths.
Kendo: A wandering rōnin with a restless spirit.
Daigo: Man of a thousand faces.
Shadow Blade Hope: See through the shadows.
Disney’s Hero Baymax: Ready to be your hero.
The Night Rose: A fearsome demon warrior, bound by ancient duty.
The legends are true. Become a true Titan as Godzilla! The Godzilla Evolved Outfit will be available from Battle Pass Quests in January, which you can complete in any experience! This Battle Pass will be available to progress in until February 21 at 2 AM ET.
Chapter 6 Season 1 Competitive

In the blog post announcing the recent Fortnite Remix: The Finale live event, Epic Games stated that the event would conclude Chapter 5, however, players could still play the game after the event.
Epic Games has since announced server maintenance downtime and currently, the Fortnite servers are currently down and the game will be unplayable until the release of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters.
The new Chapter of Fortnite will launch on 1st December 2024, but as of writing, there’s no information as to when the Fortnite servers will be back online.
Whilst you’re waiting for the Fortnite servers to be back online, why not read the below information on what players can expect to see in Chapter 6, Season 1: Hunters.
What to Expect in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters
As with all new seasons of Fortnite, we’re getting a brand new Battle Pass. Here’s a look at the skins and other cosmetics that’ll be available in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass:
A new chapter also means a brand new map and thanks to data miners, we already have the mini map for the chapter 6:
Hitscan will be returning to the game which means the removal of bullet drop. A new AR has been confirmed with the below image.
Epic Games will also be introducing new movement mechanics including the ability to wall jump and roll after landing after being in the air.
Godzilla will enter the Fortnite universe as both a skin and boss.
A giant turtle POI will be in the new chapter and will move around the map.
We’ll have more information on the new season shortly along with full patch notes for the latest chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale.
Here’s everything players need to know about today’s Fortnite Remix: The Finale live event including the time it’ll start and how players can join.
It’s been less than a month since the start of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, but it’s already coming to an end to make way for Chapter 6.
We’ve already seen what Fortnite Chapter 6 has to offer with Epic Games showcasing the Battle Pass for the new season ahead of time.
We also know Godzilla will be featured in the new season along with leaks suggesting Kong making an appearance at some point during the first season of chapter 6.
With much to look forward to in the new chapter, it’s hard not to overlook today’s new Fortnite Remix: The Finale event.

Here are the patch notes and server downtime information for today’s new Fortnite update 4.47 / 1.000.158 released on 21st November 2024.
It’s been just over two weeks since Epic Games released a new season of Fortnite. Since then, we’ve had some updates that have brought some new content to the game.
Last week, Epic released an update that included the reload map rotation and Ice Spice making her way into the game as a skin and an NPC.
Epic Games announced that a new Fortnite update will be released today, v32.11 / 4.47. Here’s all the information you need to know about the new release including server downtime information and early patch notes.
Fortnite Server Downtime Status Today – November 21, 2024
When Epic Games releases a new Fortnite update, they need to take the servers down for scheduled maintenance to prepare them for the new release.
Today’s v32.11 (4.47 / 1.000.158) update is no different, and Epic has announced when the Fortnite servers will go offline for scheduled maintenance.
In a tweet released on the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, Epic stated that the servers will go offline at 4 AM ET / 9 AM GMT / 10 AM CET with matchmaking being disabled shortly beforehand.
Here’s the tweet from the Fortnite Status account:
Whilst Epic never releases information as to when the servers will be back online, based on the last few updates, we’d expect them to back up at roughly 7 AM ET / 12 PM GMT / 1 PM CET.
We’ll update this section of the article as soon as the servers are online.
Today’s Fortnite 4.47 / 1.000.158 / 32.11 update is the final update before chapter 6 releases.
According to leaders, we should see the Juice WRLD skins released along with the landmarks that’ll be available to visit on the map.
We should see some leaks released for the live event that’ll take place to close out the season along with other leaks for cosmetics.
We’ll also have kicks added to the game, to which Epic has released information regarding the release including upcoming drops:
Tie your virtual laces and drop in with fresh footwear as Kicks come to Fortnite on November 21! Kicks are a new Cosmetic type that can be equipped in your Locker, adding true-to-life and Fortnite original shoes to your Outfits for a new look.

Here is the current Fortnite server status on November 2nd, 2024.
We’re at the end of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, and as expected, the new season of Fortnite will be Remix Chapter 2.
The new season will include map locations from the Fortnite Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 maps. However, there’s not much information regarding what POIs will be on the latest Battle Royale map.
The Fortnite Remix The Prelude Event just concluded. During the event, Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg. As part of Snoop Dogg’s performance, we saw a sneak peek at a new map location, Snoop Dogg’s mansion, which will take the place of the agency that was found on the original Chapter 2 map.
We then got a short glimpse of the Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice Fortnite skin that’ll be coming to the game in the new season.
The live performance concluded with a trailer for the new season which included a better look at the new Battle Pass skins.
Here’s a list of the Battle Pass skins:
Chaos Director (unlocked right away!): Chaos reigns.
The Fortnite servers are currently down on November 2nd, and here’s all the information we have.
Fortnite Servers Down Right Now – November 2nd 2024 (11/02/24)
When Epic Games releases their biweekly update or a new season, they need to take the Fortnite servers offline, and today is no different.
Epic Games tweeted on the official Fortnite Status account that the Fortnite servers will go down at 2 AM ET / 6 AM GMT for scheduled maintenance.
As always, matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand, likely thirty minutes before the servers go offline.
Here’s the tweet announcing the downtime:
When Will the Fortnite Servers Be Back Up?
Whenever the Fortnite servers go down for scheduled maintenance in preparation for a new update, Epic Games never releases any information regarding how long they’ll be down or when they’ll be back online.
With normal updates, the servers are usually down for three hours. However, the release of a new season usually comes with longer Fortnite server downtime.
We’d expect the Fortnite servers to be back online at roughly 7 AM ET / 11 AM GMT on November 2nd, 2024.
Be sure to check back on this article periodically as we’ll update you with the latest on the Fortnite server status.

The initial lineup of Kicks will feature Nike and Jordan brands alongside Fortnite originals. Look out for other brands to join the lineup in the future! Kicks will be compatible with over 500 of the most popular Fortnite Outfits to start, with more than 95% of Outfits compatible by Spring of next year. While there are a few Outfits that are particularly challenging to style Kicks for, we’re working hard to make sure that as many Outfits as possible can throw on a fresh pair.
Score your first pair of Jordans when they unlock in the Remix Pass on November 12 with v32.10. This is only the beginning for Kicks, more info will hit before they launch in the shop!
Fortnite Original Kicks are not included in the Remix Pass, the first pair will be available in the Shop starting November 12.
…And the Remix Pass!
In addition to Kicks, the Remix Pass comes to Fortnite packed with over 70 new in-game rewards! A shorter Battle Pass than usual, you can unlock all the Pass’ rewards in just four weeks. Grab the Remix Pass for 950 V-Bucks (or included as part of your Fortnite Crew subscription) and earn up to 1,000 V-Bucks by progressing it!

Fortnite Reload Desert Drop: New Map & Solos Mode
Battle Royale isn’t the only mode to run it back. Fortnite Reload Desert Drop also arrives on November 2 with the all-new Oasis Map and Solo Ranked + Unranked Modes. Featuring new takes on familiar spots like Paradise Palms, Shifty Shafts, and Lazy Links, you can rift, reboot, and reload solo or with your favorite Duo or Squads starting the same day as Chapter 2 Remix.
Starting November 12 with v32.10 the Reload map will rotate every 30 minutes between Oasis and the original Reload Venture map! When you’re in the lobby queuing up, you’ll be able to see which map is currently live and how much time is left until it swaps.
Paradise Palms
Sunburnt Shafts
Lizard Links
In Reload Solo, the core rules are the same, but all players have three lives total. When the respawn window closes, each extra life is converted into 50 additional non-regenerative Overshield (up to 100). For Zero Build, this is in addition to the 50 regenerative Overshield that all players have. Getting eliminated when you have no extra lives means getting sent back to the Lobby!
Reload’s loot pool is getting a refresh — here’s the full list of weapons you can expect to find around both maps:
Pistols
Combat Pistol
Suppressed Pistol
Mammoth Pistol
Shotguns
Auto Shotgun
Striker Pump Shotgun

Locker Improvements
Whether you prefer Battle Royale or another Fortnite experience, we’ve got big news! The v32.00 update (when Chapter 2 Remix goes live) includes improvements to the Locker. Take your fashion combo game to the next level and bundle up Character, Emote, Lobby, Music, Wraps, and Vehicle selections all into one Saved Loadout you can take into different Fortnite experiences.
With all these options to mix and match, it’s only fair you have a lotta loadouts — the number of available category presets and saved loadout will be 200 each! The Locker now displays more of your loadouts at a time, and scroll navigation has been implemented across the Locker to make customizing your look a breeze.
Heads up — randomize/shuffle for saved loadouts will be available soon.
Other Improvements & Fixes
Controller players can now set a scoped multiplier for aim sensitivity while aiming down sight with scoped weapons.
Fixed a bug where Left and Right Stick Dead Zones for PlayStation controllers were not registering when set below 12%.
Human-like Aim Assist has been enabled for hitscan weapons across all game modes.
Aim assist on controller has been adjusted to be somewhat stronger.

Although unlikely, if you do receive a claim on any SAC content, there may be a short delay in YouTube processing the release of the claim. During this time, please do not dispute the claim.
Not in SAC? Don’t worry, you can still share your highlights from the experience. However, you will not be able to monetize this content on YouTube.
Please note: For Twitch creators streaming Chapter 2 Remix, we cannot prevent your VODs or clips from getting flagged by third-party copyright detection systems. The general recommendation is to disable VODs/clips when streaming the experience. For more information, see Twitch’s DMCA & Copyright FAQs help page.
Now that’s a bop. Bounce with us until Chapter 2 Remix ends November 30 at 10 PM ET!
