Where to Find Birthday Presents and Consume Birthday Cake Locations in Fortnite 2023

Here’s how and where to find both Birthday Presents and Birthday cakes in Fortnite chapter 4 season 4.

Epic Games announced Fortnite Battle Royale’s 6th birthday event a couple of hours ago which included information on what the event includes.

Birthday cake, birthday presents, and balloons have all been unvaulted during the birthday event. We also have a brand new Reality Augment for the event.

The Jump Balloon reality augment is available in the game and provides players with a balloon automatically when they jump. You can continue to jump to obtain a balloon until you reach the maximum number of balloons.

As expected, Fortnite Battle Royale’s 6th birthday event also includes some quests that once completed, will provide players with free cosmetic rewards.

This year, players can get their hands on the following rewards:

  • Complete 1 Birthday Quest: Birthday Basher Pickaxe
  • Complete 3 Birthday Quests: Birthday Dash Spray
  • Complete 5 Birthday Quests: Slice O’ Six Back Bling

One of the quests requires players to collect Birthday Presents whilst another requires players to consume Birthday cakes. Here’s where you can find both items quickly.

Where to find and collect Birthday Presents in Fortnite 2023

Birthday presents were readded to Fortnite in today’s hotfix update. They can be found in floor loot and chests.

However, an easy method to find and collect Birthday presents is to land at any open area on the map such as Frenzy Fields.

Once landed, it’ll be easier to find and collect Birthday presents. Here’s what it looks like in-game:

The trick to complete this challenge is once you’ve picked up a Birthday Present in Fortnite, drop it and pick it up again until you complete the challenge.

Birthday Cake can be found at every named location on the chapter 4 season 4 map. There will be several cake slices at each location, so completing the consume birthday cake challenge should be very easy to complete.

New Fortnite x My Hero Academia Wave 2 Skins, All Quests & Mythic Items

Epic released a new Fortnite update on September 12th, 2023. The new patch includes new My Hero Academia Skins, quests, and mythic items.

The first major update of the season has landed with today’s new release. Last night, Epic announced that the v26.10 update would be going live today, 12th September.

After last week’s hotfix update which included two new items and three new augment reality perks, players were expecting a lot from today’s 26.10 update.

We knew we would be getting a collaboration today but nobody was expecting a Fortnite x My Hero Academia wave 2.

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest collaboration including a look at the new skins, quests, and mythic items.

My Hero Academia Wave 2 Fortnite Skins

Last year in December, Epic released the first My Hero Academia collaboration which included the Izuku Midoriya, All Might, Katsuki Bakugo, and Ochaco Uraraka skins.

In wave 2, the Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, and Mina Ashido Fortnite skins are available. Here’s a look at the new skins.

My Hero Academia MHA New Wave 2 Fortnite Skins

Fortnite My Hero Academia Quests

Here’s a list of all the available Fortnite x MHA quests available to complete:

  • Damage opponents using Deku’s Smash (500)
  • Collect Deku’s Smash for an eliminated opponent (1)
  • Assist in searching All Might’s Supply Drops (3)
  • Travel distance in the air (10,000)
  • Activate Augments (10)
  • Acquire Accolades (25)
  • Deal explosive damage to opponents or structures (1,000)

Todoroki Quests

  • Deploy Todoroki’s Ice Wall (5)
  • Deal damage to structures with fire (5,000)
  • Collect Todoroki’s Ice Wall in different matches (3)
  • Outland Opponents (500)
  • Hit headshots or eliminate opponents (25)
  • Travel distance with a follower (1,000)
  • Collect legendary items or better (5)

Are there any free My Hero Academia Fortnite Rewards?

Unfortunately, there are no free rewards available for completing the above quests. Players will only receive XP for completing the quests.

Fortnite x MHA Mythic Items – Todoroki’s Ice Wall

The first MHA x Fortnite Collaboration introduced Deku’s Smash mythic item. It has returned with the second collaboration. Here’s the description of the item as well as the stats.

“Throw a punch that sends shockwaves through the world, blasting through buildings and enemies alike”.

Todoroki’s Ice Wall is the new mythic item that produces nearly impenetrable walls of ice to defend both yourself and your sidekicks. You can also spawn them further away.

New Fortnite v26.10 (4.01) Update Today – Server Downtime and Patch Notes 12th September 2023

Epic Games has announced that the new Fortnite update, v26.10 (4.01) will be released today on 12th September 2023. Here are the early patch notes and server downtime details.

It’s almost been three weeks since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 4. The new season included a number of major map changes and a shuffle in the loot pool with both new and old items being added or unvaulted.

Last week, we had a hotfix update that introduced two new items and three augment reality perks. Both the items and augment reality perks were leaked from the new season release.

The Stick Grenade Launcher and the Shield Breaker EMP were added to the game along with the Explosive Surplus, Storm Chaser, and High Voltage Perks.

Data miners announced before the new season that Epic were already working on the v26.10 (4.01) update, and it was expected to go live two and half weeks after the new season launched.

Epic Games has confirmed that the v26.10 Fortnite update will be released today, and we have the early patch notes and server downtime information below.

Fortnite Server Downtime For 4.01 Update – September 12th, 2023 (09/12/23)

In order to release a major patch release for Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic Games needs to take the servers down in order to prepare for the new files.

Today’s v26.10 Fortnite update is no different. As expected, Epic announced that the Fortnite servers will be brought offline for the new patch release.

The Fortnite servers will go down for scheduled downtime at 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST / 10 AM CEST on 12th September 2023. Matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand.

Although Epic didn’t announce exactly when matchmaking will be disabled, it’s typically thirty minutes prior to the servers going offline. They’ll usually tweet when matchmaking is disabled.

Here’s the official tweet announcing the 4.01 update:

Fortnite 4.01 Update Server Downtime and When They'll Be Back Up 12 September 2023

When Will The Fortnite Servers Be Back Only September 12, 2023?

There’s never any official information regarding when the Fortnite servers will be back online. However, based on how long the servers have been down for other releases, we can take a guess.

It’s likely the servers will be back online on September 12th, 2023 at roughly 6 AM ET / 11 AM BST / 12 PM CEST. We’ll update this section of the article when the servers are officially back online.

Fortnite Early Update Patch Notes – New v26.10 Release

As you can see from the image above, Epic provided a teaser when announcing the downtime. The teaser, “brrrr” with a cold face emoji likely hints at a new collaboration.

According to popular data miner iFireMonkey, the teaser could be hinting at the following:

  • Sub Zero
  • Shoto Todoroki
  • Just Eclipse doin’ Eclipse things

And the reasoning behind these guesses are:

  • Mortal Kombat 1 Releases on the 19th
  • MHA Wave 2 leaked before
  • Temperatures drop during an eclipse

We should also expect to see new cosmetics being added in the 4.01 update as well as new weekly quests, and the chance of more collaborations being added to the files.

There’s a high chance we could see the return of the Pizza Party item due to Piper Pace’s Snapshot quests that require the use of the item.

With every new Fortnite update, Epic will always look to add new augments, and it’s likely that’ll be the same with today’s v26.10 release.

Here are some of the augments that Epic has planned, although there’s no certainty the below augments will be released:

▫ Revamped Siphon
– Heals 8 HP per shot
– Is multiplied by 0.01, meaning you’d either only get 0.8 HP per shot or 8.08 depending on which way it’s multiplied.

▫ Ninja Training
– 1.3x Movement speed while crouched

▫ Farm Fresh
– Farm Items (Corn, Apples, etc) give +10 extra healing

▫ Marksman Crit
– Headshots with Marksman weapons (DMRs) are higher by x0.15 (Legendary Thermal DMR would do 74 headshot damage instead of 64.35)

▫ Party Time
– Gain balloons over time
– Updated to not spawn balloons while using the Rocket Ram

A new DMR item was teased in the chapter 4 season 4 trailer which could be released in this new update. It’ll have a toggleable zoom as seen in the trailer which can be seen below.

Bug Fixes in Fortnite 26.10 (4.01) Update

Battle Royale Bug Fixes:
Auto Running will work while Alt-Tabbing Again
Vault Display Cases will no longer randomly become impossible to interact with
Re-Rolling Augments will count for Spend Bars Quests
Players will no longer get stuck at 9 out of 10 on Survivor Medals
Heist music will no longer play for the entire match after visiting one of the three new POIs.

Mobile/Cloud Gaming Bug Fixes:
Gyro controls on Android will no longer have X and Y axis reversed
Android players will be able to see water again
Weak Spots will appear when hitting objects again

Fortnite Update Today Patch Notes – Sticky Grenade Launcher & Shield Breaker EMP 6th September 2023

Epic Games has released a new Fortnite update today (September 6th, 2023). Here are the patch notes for today’s hotfix.

It’s been just under two weeks since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 and for the most part, the new season has gone down well with the player base.

With season four being a short season, we won’t see as many updates as we’re used to seeing. However, that doesn’t mean Epic won’t be releasing anything new between major releases.

During the release of season four, data miners leaked upcoming content during downtime, some of which are expected to be added to the game within the next couple of weeks.

One of the items that was leaked, a new grenade, is now available after a hotfix update introduced the new item to the game.

Fortnite Patch Notes – September 6th, 2023 Update

Although there’s no update to download, Epic Games has added a decent amount of content for a simple hotfix release.

Yesterday, Epic updated the in-game news feed to announce that the Shield Breaker EMP grenade would be added to the game.

This was later replaced with an image of the Sticky Grenade Launcher. However, neither was released yesterday and both of the items were removed from the in-game news feed.

In today’s new Fortnite hotfix update, Epic has released both the Sticky Grenade Launcher and the Shield Breaker EMP.

We also have some new reality augments added to the game including the previously leaked Storm Chaser and High Voltage perks.

Fortnite Shield Breaker EMP

Throw down a Shield Breaker EMP to damage enemy Shields and temporarily disable electrical systems like cameras, turrets, and laser grids. But watch out during your base escape, as Shield Breakers EMPs can also bring vehicles to a stop.

Shield Breaker EMP

Sticky Grenade Launcher

So your robbery attempts aren’t sticking the landing. No big deal — use the Sticky Grenade Launcher to fire projectiles that stick on surfaces! These projectiles will explode after a short delay, damaging nearby enemies and structures.

Here’s the information on the new augment realities.

EXPLOSIVE SURPLUS

When explosions aren’t enough, add more explosions. After activating the Explosive Surplus Reality Augment, you’ll instantly gain rocket ammo, and containers you open will always have rocket ammo. Combo the rocket-ammo-using Sticky Grenade Launcher with this Reality Augment to be a fiery force to be reckoned with!
Fortnite Explosive Surplus Reality AugmentHIGH VOLTAGE

Activate the High Voltage Reality Augment to instantly gain a Business Turret and Shield Breaker EMPs. With this Reality Augment activated, eliminations you get will grant additional Shield Breaker EMPs.
Fortnite High Voltage Reality Augment

STORM CHASER

Also thinkable as “Storm running-away-from-er,” the Storm Chaser Reality Augment reduces the amount of Energy drained while sprinting. The drain will be even more reduced in the Storm.

Fortnite Storm Chaser Reality Augment

If chasing the Storm (or rather, running away from the Storm) isn’t a thrill enough, the Roaming Redeploy Reality Augment has been unvaulted. Gain Glider Redeploy whenever you gain immunity to fall damage!

New Fortnite 4.00 Update Today Patch Notes – 30th August 2023

Epic Games has released a new patch update, 4.00. Here are the patch notes for the latest downloadable release.

Last Friday, Epic released a new season of Fortnite; chapter 4 season 4. If leaks are correct, this will be the penultimate season of chapter 4 with Epic Games sent to release season 5 which will last only a month.

The release of the new season saw numerous bugs and glitches introduced into the game, something we’ve become used to over the past few releases.

With new additions to the game, some of them will likely have some bugs and glitches that obviously aren’t intended.

One example is the Rocket Ram. The new item allowed players to send vehicles flying into the sky to allow an easy way to get around the map.

The glitch can be seen in the embedded tweet below.

There have also been issues with the inconsistency in the amount of damage the Rocket Ram will deal with direct hits. However, to combat this, Epic has buffed the item to deal 50 player damage instead of 25.

The above was a hotfix that didn’t require a new downloadable update. Howver, Epic Games have released a new Fortnite update today, 4.00, and players are wondering if there’s any new content.

Fortnite 4.00 Update Patch Notes (08/30/23)

Just under an hour ago, Epic released the 4.00 Fortnite update which they announced on the official Fortnite status Twitter account.

The 4.00 Fortnite update has been released on the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Android.

As expected, there is no new content with the release and the update only addresses stability issues players have been experiencing since the start of the new season.

You can check out the official tweet below.

Fortnite 4.00 Update 30 August 2023

We won’t see another downloadable Fortnite update until a week and a half. However, it’s likely we’ll get a content update on Tuesday, 5th September, that’ll include a new item or an item returning from the vault.

All New, Vaulted, Unvaulted & Mythic Fortnite Weapons in Chapter 4 Season 4 (v26.00)

Here’s a look at the loot pool for Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 with new items and weapons being released with the new season.

The new season of Fortnite is here. After lackluster updates with little to no worthwhile content in season three, chapter four season four will hopefully be a season to remember.

The Fortnite servers are currently down for scheduled maintenance but that hasn’t stopped data miners leaking some of the new content that wasn’t shown in the cinematic and gameplay trailers.

We have three major map changes with the introduction of three new points of interest; Sanguine Suits, Relentless Retreat, and Eclipsed Estate. You can take a look at the overview of the Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 map here.

We already knew we were getting major changes to the loot pool in Fortnite chapter 4 season 4. That’s now been confirmed now that we have all the information on the new weapons as well as the items returning from the vault.

Here’s a look at the look pool for Fortnite chapter 4 season 4.

New Fortnite Weapons in Chapter 4 Season 4

The teaser images that were released before the new season launched gave us an idea of some of the items and weapons to expect coming into season four.

We knew the mythic drum gun would be unvaulted along with numerous others from previous seasons of Fortnite. The cinematic trailer which was released yesterday also gave us an idea of what to expect in terms of new items.

The Rocket Ram might be a fan favorite. The item allows players to break through walls and ceilings and fly you into the air. We also have three new main weapons, a turret, and a heist bag.

Here’s the loadout on each of the new items and weapons:

ROCKET RAM

When you’re entering a base, you can either take the stealthy route… or come flying with the Rocket Ram. When it’s time to escape the base, use the Rocket Ram if there’s no car around.

Fortnite Rocket Ram

INFILTRATOR PUMP SHOTGUN, SCOPED BURST SMG & TWIN MAG ASSAULT RIFLE

Once inside the base, break out the Infiltrator Pump Shotgun, the Scoped Burst SMG, or the Twin Mag Assault Rifle. The Twin Mag Assault Rifle has a flippable magazine that allows for a faster reload every other reload.

Fortnite Infiltrator Pump Shotgun and Scoped Burst SMG and Twin Mag Assault Rifle

BUSINESS TURRET

Want a weapon that’s a little more hands-off? Take hold of a Business Turret: a turret that looks like a briefcase while it’s in your hand, but transforms once thrown. The Business Turret will automatically lock onto nearby enemies and fire, so all you have to worry about is the placement!

Fortnite Business Turret Briefcase Form and Deployed Form

In a base unprepared? Look for Heist Bags: duffle bags stuffed with heisting gear! Heist Bags come in handy for the empty-handed.

Fortnite Heist Bag

Heist Bags have a chance to contain a Crash Pad Jr. (new!), Remote Explosive (unvaulted!), Rocket Ram, ammo, healing items, and more.

Returning Mythic Weapons & Items in v26.00

Players will be happy to know that numerous mythic items from Fortnite’s history have returned in today’s v26.00 update including Midas’ Drum Gun and Ocean’s Bottomless Chug Jug.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 New Map Locations Revealed (v26.00)

Here’s a quick look at all of the new map locations in Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 (v26.00).

The new season of Fortnite is almost here. The servers are currently down for scheduled maintenance for the release of chapter four season four.

Yesterday, Epic Games released the cinematic trailer for season four. At 3 AM ET when the servers were brought offline, the gameplay trailer for the new season was released.

For the past few seasons, Epic haven’t been updating the map as much as they did in both chapter one and two. New seasons have been launching with one new POI and some small changes here and there.

However, it looks like Epic has introduced more meaningful changes to the map with the release of chapter 4 season 4.

Here’s a look at the new map along with the new POIs that have been added.

v26.00 Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 New Map POIs

Whilst the servers are down, data miners are leaking some of the new content from season four. The overview of the new locations on the chapter 4 season 4 map have been leaked.

New Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Map

What’s surprising with the new map changes is the fact that the new locations are on or near the edges of the map. You can easily pick out the new locations on the map.

They’re located on the southwest, northeast, and northwest sides of the map.

Here are some images and some text about the map from the official patch notes:

Behind the luxurious exteriors of Sanguine Suites, Relentless Retreat, and Eclipsed Estate are strongly-defended bases complete with cameras, laser grids, and guards. Thorne has filled ‘em with valuable items, and he’s also taken over Rumble Ruins, the Slap Juice factory, and a tower in MEGA City. Make sure you’re prepared before infiltrating anywhere run by Thorne.

New Fortnite Update v26.00 (3.99) Patch Notes – Server Downtime, When They’ll Be Back Online – August 25th, 2023

Here are the early patch notes for today’s 26.00 (3.99) new Fortnite update which sees the release of chapter 4 season 4.

After what many players have called a boring season, Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 launches today with the release of the v26.00 downloadable patch update.

The final update of the season was more than two weeks ago and for the most part, it was quite lackluster. The new content that was added was for the Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration.

Prior to that update, the previous updates didn’t bring much content into the game so hopefully, the release of chapter 4 season 4 will change that.

Epic Games began teasing the release of the new season with their usual teaser images being posted on social media as well as their in-game news feed.

All the teaser images made up one whole image which included a look at some of the Battle Pass skins and other items and features being added to the game.

Here’s a look at the final image with all of the teaser images combined:

The Last Resort Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4

Epic then posted an image showcasing all of the Battle Pass skins in chapter four season four which we’ve included below.

Here’s everything you need to know about the v26.00 Fortnite update including the early patch notes and when the servers will go down for scheduled maintenance.

When is the new Fortnite Update (3.99, v26.00) 25th August 2023 Server Downtime Time (08/25/2023)

Every major Fortnite update is announced the day before it’s released and today’s 3.99 (26.00) update is no different.

Epic Games announced on the Fortnite status Twitter account that the time of the new Fortnite update will be on August 25th, 2023.

Usually, the Fortnite servers are brought offline for scheduled maintenance at 4 AM however, Epic has pushed the time forward by an hour for the v26.00 release.

The servers will go offline at 3 am ET with matchmaking being disabled beforehand. It’s like matchmaking will be disabled roughly thirty minutes before scheduled maintenance.

Here’s the official tweet announcing the update and downtime:

Fortnite 3.99 Update Downtime August 25 2023

When will Fortnite Be Back Up?

As expected, there’s no news regarding how long the servers will be down but based on previous season releases, we’d expect the servers to be down for three or four hours.

That means we can expect the servers to be back online on August 25th, 2023 at roughly 6 AM ET / 11 AM BST. We’ll update this section of the article as soon as the game is back online.

There hasn’t been a Fortnite live event for some time now. In chapter 1, there would be a live event to conclude each season of Fortnite Battle Royale.

However, as the seasons have gone on, Epic has held fewer live events unless it leads up to a new chapter which seems to be released each year now.

Unfortunately, there will be no Fortnite live event on either August 24th or 25th August 2023. However, if leaks are correct, this will be the final season of the chapter and a new chapter will launch in November or December, which will likely include a live event.
