Epic Games have announced a brand new Fortnite update releasing on April 11th, 2023, 24.20 (3.87). Here are the early patch notes including information on server downtime.

Two weeks ago, Epic Games released the first major patch update for chapter 4 season 2. The release included challenges for the Spring Breakout event.

The event allows players to get their hands on limited-time Easter-themed cosmetics that can be obtained by completing a certain amount of challenges.

Rewards include a back bling, spray, loading screen, pickaxe, and glider. If you’ve not logged into Fortnite since 24.10, here’s a look at some of those free cosmetics:

Aside from the Spring Breakout challenges and rewards, there wasn’t too much other content that was added. The Easter Egg Launcher was unvaulted and new eggs were added to the game as floor loot.

Thankfully Epic Games have announced that the v24.20 (3.87) Fortnite update will be released today. Here is what we know so far about the upcoming release.

Fortnite Scheduled Server Downtime – 11th, April 2023 – Is Fortnite Down?

As you’ll know by now, Epic Games take down the Fortnite servers prior to a new update release. Today’s 3.87 Fortnite update is no different and Epic has announced when scheduled maintenance will begin.

The servers will go down at 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST / 9 AM CEST. However, matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand, likely thirty minutes prior.

In the tweet announcing the new update on the Fortnite Status Twitter account, Epic stated that the patch size for the 24.20 (3.87_ update will be larger than normal.

Here’s the official tweet:

We’ll update this section of the article when the servers are back online. Typically, the servers are down for two hours, so expect them to come back online at roughly 5 AM EST / 10 AM BST.

Fortnite  Update 3.87 (24.20) Patch Notes – April 11th

Thanks to leak from the previous patch release, we know some of the content we can expect to see in today’s update.

Epic Games already announced that both the Mikasa and Levi Fortnite skins will be available to purchase in the item shop on April 11th.

It’s likely that as soon as the servers are back online, players will be able to purchase the new Attack on Titan cosmetics from the shop.

We’ll also be getting Attack on Titan Mythic items added to the loot pool including the waist grappler that’s been teased several times already.

The Attack on Titan Eren Jaeger Battle Pass skin will also be available to unlock by completing challenges that’ll be released in the 3.87 update.

In-Game creator profile will also be making their way into the game along with new Reality Augments being added to the game.

There’s a chance we could be getting a new item, the Smart Pistol, that was teased in the gameplay trailer for the new season.

The Hiss Clique Quest Pack will also be added to the game along with a new Coachella collaboration.

During downtime, we’ll be posting all the leaks from the v24.20 Fortnite update, so be sure to check out all of our coverage over here.

Epic Games have confirmed the release of the Mikasa and Levi Attack On Titan Fortnite skins.

It’s almost been a month since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. The season has gone down well with the player base thanks to the map changes and the addition of several new items.

There’s no arguing that the Kinetic Blade is the most popular addition in season 2. In terms of the most popular Battle Pass skin, that’s a toss-up.

However, players are still awaiting the arrival of the Attack on Titan Fortnite Eren Jaeger skin that’ll be available to unlock shortly.

Players won’t have to wait long until they can get their hands on other Attack on Titan Fortnite skins though. Epic Games released a teaser video showcasing two upcoming collaboration skins.

Attack on Titan Mikasa and Levi Fortnite Skins

Epic Games released a video showcasing two new Attack on Titan Fortnite skins that’ll be available this month. Both Mikasa and Levi will be entering the Fortnite universe.

There will more than likely be other cosmetics that will be available in the item shop when the two new skins drop. However, it’s unlikely that we’ll get a good look at all of the new cosmetics until next week’s update.

Release Date

Epic usually releases a new major Fortnite update every two weeks. The next major patch falls on April 11th, 2023, which is when the v24.20 update is scheduled to release.

The Mikasa and Levi Fortnite skins will be available to purchase on the same date, April 11th. It’s likely the new Attack on Titan Fortnite cosmetics will be available to purchase as soon as the downtime for the update is over.

A new Fortnite update has been announced for March 29th, 2023. Here are the early patch notes for the v24.10 (3.86) release.

Last week, Epic Games released a small update. It didn’t have any new files for data miners to leak, nor did it include any new features or items.

However, we were expecting the first major Fortnite update of chapter 4 season 2 to release this week. Epic has confirmed the v24.10 update will be released today.

We know that this will include an Easter event which Epic Games have already hinted at along with some other additions.

Thanks to data miners, we have a good idea as to what we can expect in the v24.10 (3.86) release. Below, you’ll find early patch notes along with information on server downtime.

Is Fortnite Down? Server Scheduled Downtime March 29th, 2023

Every major patch release is accompanied by server downtime, and the v24.10 update is no different. Epic has confirmed the time the Fortnite servers will be down.

The servers will officially go offline at 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST / 10 AM CEST.

Matchmaking will be disabled shortly before the servers go down, likely thirty minutes prior. Here’s the tweet announcing the downtime:

As always, Epic didn’t release any information regarding how long the servers will be down for. However, we’d expect them to be down for roughly two hours.

That means the servers should be back online at roughly 6 AM ET / 11 AM BST / 12 PM CEST. We’ll update this article when they’re back online.

Fortnite Easter Update 3.86 (v24.10) Patch Notes – March 29th

As always, data miners have provided some insight into what we can expect in today’s 3.86 (v24.10) patch release.

We know today’s release is the Fortnite Easter update. In the tweet announcing server downtime, Epic hinted at the spring update, twice mentioning eggs.

We don’t know exactly what the Easter Fortnite update will entail in terms of possible challenges, however, it’s safe to assume we should see some new Easter skins added to the game.

We should see other cosmetics added to the game with the v24.10 release including the April Crew Pack. We know that the Triarch Nox skin will be part of the pack.

We should expect some new Reality Augments today along with the possibility of the Smart Pistol weapon being added to the game, an item that was teased previously.

Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass Super Styles will also be available along with the chance of there being new collaborations being added to the files.

We’ll be covering all of the leaks and news from the v24.10 Fortnite update, so be sure to head to this page during downtime to check all of our coverage.

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:

2179-7822-3395

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.
