All New and Upcoming Leaked Fortnite Skins From v21.50 Update

A new Fortnite update was released today, v21.50. Here are all the Fortnite skins and other cosmetics that have been leaked by data miners today.

Fortnite chapter 3 season 3 was released back in June but was given a new lease of life with the release of the Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration. Most of the player base is in agreement that up until the collaboration, the season was fairly boring with little to no new useful content.

However, the Dragon Ball collaboration added a couple of POIs to the map, two mythic items, new cosmetics, and a set of challenges that provided players with the chance to unlock free Dragon Ball-themed cosmetics.

Today, Epic Games released the fifth update of the season. According to leakers, this won’t be the last update of the season with a v21.51 update scheduled to release next week on Tuesday.

As you’ll already know, each new major Fortnite update includes a number of new files including upcoming items, features, and cosmetics. As usual, data miners have leaked all the upcoming skins and cosmetics. Here’s a look at all the Fortnite skins leaked in today’s v21.50 update.

Fortnite v21.50 Leaked Skins

There are only three new Fortnite skins that have been added in the v21.50 update. However, one of the skins will be part of the season 4 starter pack and another one has a release date for next season as well.

That leaves just one skin that should be released in the item shop before the season ends next month. There are a few emotes, pickaxes, sprays, and wraps that have been leaked. There aren’t any cosmetics that have been encrypted, so the below cosmetics are the only ones that have been added to the game.

Fortnite Leaked Skins v21.50

Let us know in the comments section below what your thoughts are on the newly leaked cosmetics from v21.50.

Fortnite 21.50 Update Today Patch Notes – August 30th, 2022 – Server Downtime, Update Download Size

There’s a new Fortnite update releasing today, 30 August 2022, 21.50. Here are the early patch notes for the fifth major patch of chapter 3 season 3.

It’s almost been three months since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 3 season 3. From what we’ve seen over the past couple of months, it hasn’t been well received for the most part.

However, the release of the Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration changed players’ minds with many stating it feels like a new season since the latest collaboration went live.

Not only did we have purchasable cosmetics in the item shop, but two mythic items were also added to the game along with challenges and a couple of POIs being added to the chapter 3 season 3 map.

When a season draws to a close, players begin reducing the hours they put into the game, and this season is no different. Chapter 3 season 4 is expected to launch in three weeks’ time, but we still have more content before the current season ends.

Epic Games announced that the 21.50 Fortnite update will be released today. According to data miners, this is the penultimate update of the season. We also know some of the content that’ll be coming in the 21.50 Fortnite update.

Fortnite Scheduled Server Downtime – 30 August 2022

As with any new Fortnite update, Epic Games announced when the servers would be down for scheduled maintenance on the official Fortnite status Twitter account. The servers will go down for maintenance at 4 AM ET (9 AM BST), with matchmaking being disabled thirty minutes prior.

Here’s the official tweet announcing the Fortnite server downtime on August 30th, 2022:

Fortnite Server Downtime Time August 30 2022

Epic never state when the Fortnite servers will be back online but we’d expect them to be back up at 6 AM ET (11 AM BST). We’ll update this section of the article when the servers are back online.

21.50 Fortnite Update Patch Notes – What’s New Today

Fortnite leakers always point out the new content we can expect in a new Fortnite update, and the 21.50 patch is no different. According to popular leaker Hypex, we can expect the Pump Shotgun to make a return, although this could be limited to Late Game Arena which will also be returning in 21.50.

We’ll also get a new crew pack that’ll release on Wednesday, 31st August. There’s a good chance there will be more leaks and hints about next season’s content and theme. Epic usually adds in the starter pack for the new season in the fifth update of the season, so expect that to be leaked this morning.

As usual, we’ll be posting all of the leaks that are released for the Fortnite 21.50 update, so be sure to check back on the Fortnite news page for all the coverage on today’s update.

Fortnite 21.50 Update Download Size

As soon as the 21.50 Fortnite update is available to download, we’ll include the download size for each platform below.

Fortnite x Destiny 2 Collab Crossover Release Date – Omega, Drift, Black Knight Skins, Exo Stranger, Zavala, Ikora Rey

A Fortnite x Destiny 2 collab crossover is coming soon. Here’s everything we know so far thanks to leakers.

Epic Games are continuing to expand its metaverse. We’ve already had Darth Vader and Indiana Jones skin and matching cosmetics, both of which are available in the chapter 3 season 3 Battle Pass.

Last week, the Dragon Ball Super x Fortnite collaboration went live, one of the biggest we’ve seen for a couple of years. Not only did we get Dragon Ball cosmetics in the item shop, but we also got mythic items, Dragon Ball-themed POIs, and challenges with free rewards.

With just under a month to go until the launch of Fortnite chapter 3 season 4, we knew we would be getting another collaboration before the current season came to a close.

A few days ago, Fortnite leakers released information on the next Fortnite crossover collab, Destiny 2 x Fortnite. Information regarding what Fortnite skins would make the crossover was revealed, and we now know which Destiny 2 skins will be in Fortnite.

Fortnite: Where to Find the Visitor and Collect Surveillance Footage From Cameras at Bungalow Blooms

Here’s where you can find the Visitor and collect surveillance footage from cameras at Bungalow Blooms in Fortnite chapter 3 season 3.

Every week in Fortnite, there are a set of weekly challenges that go live. These challenges provide players with XP to help them unlock Battle Pass items throughout the season, or in some players’ cases, help them unlock the super styles for some of the Battle Pass skins.

This season, Epic Games also introduced a set of challenges for the storyline called Vibin’. Prior to today, we had six sets of challenges for Vibin’, and a new set of challenges went live today, part seven.

These challenges usually take a little longer to complete in comparison to the weekly challenges as they usually require players to go to a certain location on the map and collect something.

One of the Vibin’ part seven quests requires players to find the Visitor and collect surveillance footage from cameras at Bungalow Blooms. Here’s how you can complete the challenge as quickly as possible.

Fortnite: Where to Collect Foundations Launch Records at Sanctuary Locations

There’s a new Vibin’ Fortnite quest that requires players to collect the Foundations Launch Records at Sanctuary. Here are all the locations of the Foundations Launch Records.

We’re into the final month of Fortnite chapter 3 season 3 and there are still plenty of quests to keep players busy. There’s still time to complete the Dragon Ball x Fortnite quests that will unlock different cosmetics including a glider.

We still have a few weeks of weekly challenges for those of you who are looking to level up as high as possible before the season ends as well as other challenges including the Vibin’ quests.

Data miners leaked the upcoming Vibin’ quests and they are now live in-game. If you’re not aware, these quests are part of the ever-confusing storyline for Fortnite.

One of the challenges requires players to collect the Foundations launch records at Sanctuary. If you’re struggling to complete the challenge, here’s a guide to help you find the Foundations launch records as quickly as possible.

Collect the Foundations Launch Records at Sanctuary All Fortnite Locations

As given away by the challenge name, you’ll be able to find and collect the Foundations launch records at Sanctuary. You’ll want to land on the west side of the named location and head to the building next to the exclamation mark that is visible on the mini-map.

You’ll find the first set of the Foundation Launch Records under the stairs as you can see from the image below:

Patrick Mahomes Fortnite Skin Release Date Announced

Epic Games have announced the previously leaked Patrick Mahomes Fortnite skin. Here’s everything you need to know including the release date.

Every season, we can expect Epic Games to release at least five different collaborations. We’ve already had the Indiana Jones and Darth Vader Fortnite skins, both of which are included in the chapter 3 season 3 Battle Pass.

Last week, the Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration finally went live. It was probably the most leaked collaboration so far, but it’s gone down well with the player base with many praising the map changes and mythic items.

There’s just under a month to go until the current season of Fortnite ends and chapter 3 season 4 begins. A couple of collaborations have been leaked including Destiny x Fortnite. However, the newly announced collaboration is another NFL collaboration.

Earlier today, Epic Games announced that Patrick Mahomes would be coming to the Fortnite universe. Here’s all the information you need to know about Patrick Mahomes x Fortnite including the release date for the skin and details for the upcoming cup.

Fortnite Patrick Mahomes Skin

All Fortnite collaborations include the release of cosmetics in the item shop and it’s no different for the Patrick Mahomes Icon Series. Here are the cosmetics that will be released:

  • Gridiron Gladiator Back Bling: Suit up for battle. (Included with the Patrick Mahomes Outfit.)
  • Snap Axes Pickaxe: Expertly handled. (Glows red when swung!)
  • Endzone Elite Wrap: Gear for your gear.
  • Showtime Emote: Back in the game.

There’s also a Mahomes Saucy Style outfit that’ll be available including The Good Stuff Back Bling. Here’s a look at the Patrick Mahomes Fortnite skin along with the rest of the cosmetics:

And here’s a look at the Showtime Emote:

The release date for Patrick Mahomes x Fortnite is Tuesday, August 23rd, 2022. There will also be a cup that’ll take place on the same day the skin releases.

Players will be able to participate in order to earn the Patrick Mahomes Fortnite skin for free as well as the Gridiron Gladiator Back Bling. Any player that earns at least eight points will unlock the Secret Sauce Emoticon for free.

Fortnite: How to Complete the Mushroom Obstacle Course

Players have been tasked with the “complete the mushroom obstacle course” for the new set of Dragon Ball x Fortnite challenges. Here’s how and where to complete the challenge.

We’re two days into the Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration and it seems like it’s gone down well with the majority of the player base with some stating that it feels like a brand new season with the new mythic items being added along with the new POIs that have been added to the map.

When the collaboration launched on Tuesday, there were two sets of challenges that went live. Players have been quick to complete these challenges as you’ll be able to unlock free Dragon Ball rewards, one of which is a glider.

As we’ve come to expect from Fortnite challenges over the past year or two, most of them are very easy to complete and don’t require a guide. However, there are a couple of challenges that might require a guide.

One of the new challenges that went live a few hours ago requires players to complete the mushroom obstacle course. If you’re struggling to complete the mushroom course or don’t know where it is on the map, we’ve got you covered with a guide.

Where to complete the mushroom obstacle course in Fortnite

You can find and complete the mushroom obstacle course on the left side of the map. It’s located west of Reality Falls. Here’s the exact location marked on the map below:

Mushroom Obstacle Course Fortnite Map Location

At the marker you see on the map, you’ll see the standard Fortnite obstacle and trials icon floating in the air. If you forgot what that looks like, here’s an image of it in-game:

You’ll need to go up to the obstacle course icon and you’ll then see an interact button that lets you activate the time trial. Once you’ve activated the mushroom obstacle course in Fortnite, it’s fairly simply to complete.

However, it’s slightly different to the boat, quad bike, and other time trial obstacle courses we’ve been required to complete in past seasons. To complete the time trial, like previous ones, you’ll need to go through the time trial icon.

However,  all of them are in the air, so you’ll need to jump on the mushrooms in order to get to them. If you need help completing the Fortnite mushroom obstacle course, here’s a video by HarryNineryFour to help you out:
