Players have been waiting to feel nostalgic for playing on the OG Fortnite map. Here’s the map code and how to play Atlas Creative’s OG Fortnite map in creative 2.0.

It’s five and a half years since the launch of Fortnite Battle Royale. Since then, we’ve had a total of four different maps. The first new map was released in Chapter 2.

The chapter 3 map wasn’t too well received but for the most part, the chapter 4 map that Epic Games released in December has gone down well with the player base.

However, since chapter 3, players have been asking for the return OG Fortnite map. However, that never materialized with Epic focusing on creating something new for each chapter.

However, with the official release of Unreal Engine for Fortnite yesterday, playing the OG Fortnite map in creative 2.0 is definitely a possibility now.

Epic provided numerous creative teams with early access. Two of these creative teams have created the OG Fortnite map with Atlas Creative already publishing their version of the game.

Here’s everything you need to know about Atlas Creatives’ new map including the code to access the new creative 2.0 island.

Atlas Creative 2.0 OG Fortnite Map

Earlier today, Atlas Creative released their OG Fortnite map in creative 2.0. For now, it’s in BETA and players can expect a few bugs. However, the Atlas team has ensured that any bugs will be ironed out as quickly as possible.

Due to island memory limits, some of the map details had to be cut out, but once Epic addresses this, they’ll be able to release the full detailed version.

At the moment, the player count is fixed at 50 players. Once Atlas knows the map is under control and working as intended, the player count will be upped.

In order to compensate for the lower player count, Atlas has increased the storm up. The map will likely disable sprinting, slide, etc with a poll on their Twitter account being 76% in favor of the change.

Other things to note about the Fortnite OG Map created by Atlas are some POIs such as the jail have been cut along with foliage and grass.

Pumps will be added in version 1.1 along with some other changes and improvements. Here’s the full thread:

Fortnite OG Battle Royale Map Creative 2.0 Code

In order to play the OG Fortnite map in creative 2.0, players can input the island code below:

How to Play

If you’re new to playing Fortnite Creative maps, players will need to change the game mode they’re playing in the lobby. You can then find creative islands to play on the Discover page.

You can also input the island code in order to head directly to the OG Fortnite map.

Epic Games has announced a brand new Fortnite update, v24.01 (3.85). Here’s everything we know about the latest release.

It’s been ten days since the launch of Fortnite chapter 4 season 2, the new season introduced several new locations on the southeast side of the map along with new vehicles, weapons, and the Kinetic Blade.

We weren’t expecting a new patch release this week with data miners stating that the next major release wasn’t scheduled until the week commencing March 27th.

However, Epic Games has announced a new update, v24.01, released today, March 20th, 2023. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest release.

Are the Fortnite Servers Down Right Now? March 20th, 2023 Scheduled Downtime

When Epic Games release a new patch release for Fortnite, the servers go down for a couple of hours. That’s no different with the release of the v24.01 (3.85) update.

Epic Games have stated that the servers will go down for scheduled maintenance at 4 AM ET / 8 AM UTC. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the downtime.

The servers will likely be back online at roughly 6 AM ET / 10 AM UTC. We’ll update this article when the servers are back online.

Fortnite Update 3.85 (v24.01) Patch Notes – March 20th 2023

As you can tell by the update number, v24.01, today’s update won’t include any major additions that we’re used to seeing in other major releases.

It’s likely this update might include some Creative 2.0 (UEFN) files along with some bug fixes and performance improvements. Players have been complaining about jittering and other performance issues since the first day of the season. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved in the 3.85 update.

It’s unlikely there will be any new cosmetics that’ll be added to the files. Previous v.01 updates haven’t included any new cosmetics but if there are, we’ll be sure to cover any leaks during downtime.

Data miners have leaked the Fortnite chapter 4 season 2: MEGA map with Epic Games providing an in-game look at the new locations.

Three months ago, Epic Games surprised the Fortnite player base by releasing a new chapter, chapter four season two.

The release of a new Fortnite chapter always brings a new map. Whilst the majority of players will agree that this is one of the best maps we’ve had, we haven’t didn’t see a lot of changes throughout the duration of season one.

Thankfully, we have some major map changes with the release of chapter 4 season 2 today including a new major POI.

Now that the v24.00 update is available to download, data miners have been leaking content from the files including the map.

Epic Games have also provided us with a look at the new locations featured on the MEGA map which we’ve included below.

New Map Locations in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2: MEGA

Popular data miner iFireMonkey showcased how much of the Fortnite MEGA map is considered to be new. As you can see from the image below, the southeastern side of the map is where all the new POIs are located.

The biggest addition to the map is MEGA City which includes rails that allow players to skate around buildings with weapons being available to use as they ride.

Here’s a look at all of the other new locations this season:

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 launches today. Here are the early patch notes for the v24.00 update (3.84) along with information on the server downtime and when the servers will be back up, and the download file size.

Chapter 4 Season 1 has finally come to an end after just over three months. The season brought a number of solid additions both feature and item-wise.

The Shockwave Hammer is probably one of the best items we’ve seen added to the game in some time. Hopefully, it’ll remain in the loot pool in season two.

The reality augment perks have also been another fantastic addition. These will likely remain in the game in the new season with some new perks and tweaks to some of the existing augment realities.

When a season is coming to an end, players tend to get bored with the current season, and this season was no different.

Thankfully, Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 (v24.00) is only a few hours away with the cinematic trailer scheduled to premiere at 10 AM ET.

Since the launch of Fortnite Battle Royale, we’ve covered every single major update, and the v24.00 (3.84) update is no different.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite MEGA season including early patch notes, server downtime information, the download file size for the 24.00 release, and more.

Are the Fortnite Servers Down Right Now? Schedule Downtime March 10th, 2023

Fortnite players know by now that the Fortnite servers go down for scheduled maintenance in order for Epic Games to prepare them for the new version of the game.

Every new Fortnite patch update is announced on the official Fortnite Status Twitter account a few hours before server downtime begins.

However, with the release of the 3.84 (v24.00) update, Epic announced when the servers would go down earlier than usual.

The servers will go down for scheduled maintenance at 2 AM ET with matchmaking being disabled shortly before, likely thirty minutes prior. Here’s the tweet:

When Will the Fortnite Servers Be Back Online?

Epic Games never states when the servers will be back online after downtime. However, a leak from NotPaloleaks suggests that Epic estimates that today’s downtime will be roughly five hours.

If correct, that means the servers should be back online at roughly 7 AM ET / 12 PM GMT. We’ll update this as soon as they’re back online.

v24.00 (3.84) Update Download File Size

Once the new patch update is available to download, we’ll list the download file size for each platform. Typically, our readers will put the file size on certain platforms in the comments section at the end of this post.

Fortnite Update 3.84 (24.00) Patch Notes Today – Chapter 4 Season 2 – March 10th, 2023

As expected, a number of leaks have been released for Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 “MEGA”. The Battle Pass skins have already been leaked including the Attack On Titan collaboration outfit.

We also know that the collaboration will include an Attack On Titan Fortnite mythic item. The item will be a waist grappler that’ll work somewhat similarly to Spider Man’s web shooters.

We already know we’re getting a Neo-Tokyo type POI which has been confirmed from both the teaser image and the teaser video that Epic Games have released.

Around this POI, players will find grind rails that can be used to quickly move around the new location. You can slide on them whilst holding your weapon, similar to the tubes that were found around Neo Tilted in chapter 1 season 9.

Along with the above, futuristic bikes will be added to the game which has been teased in one of the promotional images for chapter 4 season 2 MEGA.

We know from one of the updates this season that Epic Games have been updating their first-person mode. Leaks from a few weeks ago confirmed that the game mode is finally ready and will be available with the launch of season 2.

There will be a katana/sword item that’ll be added as well as a new pistol and shotgun. According to leaker Hypex, the pump shotgun will be making a return with a new version.

Based on one of the teaser images, it also appears as though Epic Games are teasing the unvaulting of the tac shotgun too.

Finally, we know there will be getting legendary augments that include the ability to get rebooted when you’re eliminated, an augment to increase your maximum shield, and one that’ll give a player siphon.

We’ll update this when the official patch notes are released.

Here’s a look at all of the Fortnite season 2 chapter 4 MEGA Battle Pass skins from leaks and the teaser trailer.

We’re finally at the end of Fortnite chapter 4 season 1. Although we’ve seen some good additions this season, the last few weeks of any season tend to drag on.

Epic begins to build up to a new season by posting teaser images and videos. However, much of Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 has been leaked days ahead of the launch date.

The two most popular data miners, Hypex and ShiinaBR, got insider information regarding what the new season has in store for players.

The Fortnite MEGA Battle Pass skins were leaked along with the theme of the season, the Attack of Titan collaboration, a first-person mode, and more.

Players are usually very critical of the Fortnite Battle Pass skins. However, it appears as though the majority of the player base is happy with what they’ve seen of the chapter 4 season 2 Battle Pass skins.

Epic has shown almost all of the season 2 Battle Pass skins in teaser images. However, data miners have also provided a better look at the skins, which we’ve included below.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 MEGA Battle Pass Skins

On March 3rd, the first leaks regarding the Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 MEGA Battle Pass skins were leaked by popular data miner Hypex.

Although it was more of a draft drawing, it gave players a good idea in regards to what the skins for the new season would look like.

On March 7th, the first season two teaser image was posted by Epic Games. It featured the lizard skin that was leaked.

Leakers then posted an in-game image of the skin, called Thunder, from the Battle Pass page as seen below:

The next teaser featured the tier 100 skin. The pickaxe was also featured in the image but Hypex also posted an image showcasing the glider for their tier 100 outfit.

Another two chapter 4 season 2 teasers were posted that showcased another 2 Battle Pass skins as seen below:

Hypex once again leaked images of the above skins from the in-game Battle Pass tab for chapter 4 season 2 along with some of the other cosmetics for each outfit.

One of the leaks from a couple of weeks ago stated that a new Drift skin would be coming in the new season’s Battle Pass.

In the teaser video posted by Epic Games, the Drift Remix skin was seen in the background:

A better image of the Drift remix skin was leaked as well as the Mystica and an edit style:

Eren Yeager – Attack on Titan x Fortnite Skin

One of the biggest and most well-received leaks was the Attack on Titan x Fortnite collaboration. The collaboration includes more than just cosmetics, but we know that Eren Yeager will be a Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 Battle Pass skin.

Eren Yeager was featured in the teaser image featuring a new town location in the new season:

Hypex once again tweeted an in-game look at the Fortnite x Attack on Titan collaboration skin. Here’s what Eren Yeager will look like in-game:

It looks like the new season of Fortnite could be one of the best we’ve had in some time. We’ll be covering the launch of season 2 over here, so be sure to check back during downtime.

Players are wondering if there’s a live event today in the lead-up to Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. Here’s the information we have.

It’s been just over three months since Epic Games launched a new chapter. For the most part, chapter 4 season 1 has been a huge success with the player base.

Not only did we get a brand new map, but there were also several noteworthy features and items that were added to the game.

The Shockwave Hammer and the addition of Augment Realities have been the highlights for the majority of the player base.

Hopefully, they’ll both be available in Fortnite chapter 4 Season 2. Speaking of the new season, players are wondering whether there will be a live event to conclude the season. Here’s what we know.

When is the Fortnite Live Event 2023? Chapter 4 Season 2

Data miners always leak if there will be a Fortnite live event. Typically, a few hours before a live event is scheduled to begin, the files are decrypted and then leaked on Twitter.

Event files are almost always added in the final update of the season. There aren’t any event files added in the 23.50 files.

If there is an event, Epic Games will always announce when it’ll take place a few days beforehand. However, that hasn’t happened.

That means, unfortunately, that there will be no 2023 Fortnite live event to conclude season 1 and lead into Fortnite chapter 4 season 2.

However, it’s looking like season 2 will have a lot of new content and features which we’ll be covering during downtime, so be sure to check back here to see all of our coverage on the new season.

The post Is There a Live Event For Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 Today? What Time Is It? March 9th 2023 appeared first on Fortnite Insider.

Epic Games have clarified the confusion around the Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 start date and the end date for season 1.

It’s been three months since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 1. Thankfully, we’ve seen some solid additions this season.

Alongside a brand new map for Battle Royale, Epic Games updated Fortnite’s game engine to Unreal Engine 5.1 which included better graphics, changes to current settings, and more.

We also saw the release of one of the best items that have ever been added to Fortnite Battle Royale, the Shockwave Hammer.

The introduction of Reality Augments has also been a welcomed addition, although some would argue some of the Reality Augments are overpowered.

However, the general consensus regarding the Reality Augments is that they should remain in the game in chapter 4 season 2.

Although we’ve had some good additions with the release of chapter 4, players have been looking forward to season 2 for a few weeks now.

Players have been looking for the release date for Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 along with the end date for chapter 4 season 1.

However, there has been conflicting information in regard to the start date for season 2. However, Epic Games have now provided clarity on the situation.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 End Date

We’ve known for a few weeks that Epic Games brought the end date for Fortnite chapter 4 season 1 forwards. On February 15th, the Fortnite Status Twitter account tweeted information regarding the new end date.

They announced season 1 would end a few days earlier than previously announced, now ending on March 8th, 2023.

Although players have been confused with the start date of the new season, we know for certain when season 1 will be ending.

New Season of Fortnite Start/Release Date – Chapter 4 Season 2

Due to the fact that Epic Games stated that season 1 ends on March 8th, players assumed that the new season of Fortnite would release on the same date.

However, after much confusion today, Epic Games have confirmed that Fortnite chapter 4 season 2 will start on Friday, March 10th, 2023.

Here’s the tweet on the Fortnite Status Twitter account confirming the start date of the new season:

Epic Games have announced a brand new Fortnite event, Most Wanted. Here’s a look at the event and all the quests and free rewards available including the Gold Blooded Axe skin.

We’ve not had much in the way of new content for the past few weeks in Fortnite. We did see some new content in the v23.30 update, but aside from another collaboration, that was nothing substantial.

Here’s a look at all of the cosmetics that have been leaked in today’s v23.40 Fortnite patch update.

Epic Games have seen huge success since the release of Fortnite Battle Royale back in Q3 of 2017. They’ve managed to cash in on the success through cosmetics.

Not only do players purchase a new Battle Pass for a new Fortnite season every few months, but the player base also spends money on cosmetics available in the item shop.

Alongside their original skin concepts, collaborations with the likes of Travis Scott, Dragon Ball Z, and other celebrities, content creators, and gaming titles have seen them make billions from cosmetics.

Players can purchase individual cosmetics that are part of a set or purchase entire bundles. There are also other packs like the Starter Packs that are available to purchase with real money instead of V-Bucks, Fortnite’s currency.

With every major Fortnite update that’s released, Epic adds in new cosmetics to the game files. These cosmetics are then made available in the item shop within the next couple of weeks, usually before the next major patch.

With today’s new v23.40 Fortnite update, there have been a number of cosmetics have been added including a Valentine’s day skin for 2023.

Fortnite Valentine’s 2023 Skin – Folly

Epic Games have added a new bundle for Valentine’s day 2023 which includes the Folly skin along with a wrap, back bling, and pickaxe.

Here’s a look at Folly:

Leaked Upcoming Fortnite v23.40 Cosmetics

Players will be able to get their hands on a free skin by completing the Most Wanted quests. The skin that’ll be available is the Cold Blooded Ace Outfit.

Here’s a look at all of the other cosmetics that were leaked in today’s update:

Epic Games have introduced a number of new exotic weapons in today’s v23.40 update.

Back in Chapter 2 season 6, Epic Games released their first-ever batch of Exotic items. Exotic items are upgraded versions of current items available in the game.

The only difference is the exotic items will have unique attributes that’ll give them an edge over a legendary version of the same weapon or item.

We haven’t seen any new exotics in Fortnite Battle Royale for some time. However, that’s about to change with today’s v23.40 patch update.

Data miners have leaked five exotic items from today’s update. Here’s a look at each and its unique attribute.

Chapter 4 Season 1 Fortnite New Exotic Weapons
