First Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass Skin & POI Revealed

Epic Games has revealed the first Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 Battle Pass skin in the latest teaser image released for the new season.

We’re a few days away from the new season of Fortnite, chapter 4 season 4. As expected, Epic Games have begun releasing teaser images ahead of season four.

The first teaser image was posted yesterday across all social media channels. The text accompanying the image confirms that this season will be similar to chapter 2 season 2 with cameras, guards, and vaults being the main feature.

The teaser image also features the Drum gun near the bottom right corner which confirms the fan-favorite item will be making a return in chapter 4 season 4.

With the new season being so close, we’d usually have leaks from an insider at Epic Games. However, this isn’t the case, and all information for the new season will have to come from the teasers.

It looks like we’ll be getting a new teaser each day at 10 AM ET / 3 PM BST. The latest teaser image reveals one of the battle pass skins for season four.

As mentioned above, the second teaser image for Fortnite chapter 4 season 4 reveals one of the Battle Pass skins.

Accompanying the image is the following text:

“Light-fingered or perhaps a more elegant weapon? First though, are you in?”.

Here’s a look at the teaser:

The above skin is one of the survey skins that Epic has put out in the past to get feedback on. Thankfully, that means we have a better look at what the skin will look like:

Fortnite Summer Update Patch Notes – 4th July 2023

Here are the patch notes for today’s hotfix Fortnite summer event update.

Last week, Epic Games released the v25.11 update. There wasn’t a lot of new content that was released in that patch update. We did get the pump shotgun back in the game.

However, most of the new content that was added was encrypted for the Fortnite Summer Escape 2023 event. Earlier this morning, the content was decrypted.

At 9 AM ET, the Fortnite 2023 summer event went live with some minor map changes, a couple of new items, a bunch of challenges, and some free cosmetic rewards.

All Fortnite Summer Escape Event Leaked Free Cosmetic Rewards and Quests

Here are all of the leaked quests/challenges and free cosmetic rewards for the 2023 Fortnite summer event.

Last week, Epic Games released the v25.11 Fortnite update before their employees take a two-week summer break. During this time, there will be no major updates released.

However, in last week’s update, Epic added in the pump shotgun but with a new name, the Shark Tooth Shotgun. Alongside the new item, Epic vaulted the Kinetic Boomerang.

Players were expecting the 2023 Fortnite summer event to go live last week but that wasn’t the case. Epic then announced that the Summer Escape Fortnite event would go live today, July 4th, 2023.

Here’s the tweet officially announcing the start date and time for Summer Escape:

Fortnite Summer Escape Event Update

Data miners were unable to leak the free cosmetic rewards and quests for the summer event due to Epic encrypting them. However, they have now been decrypted and the quests and rewards have been leaked.

Is the Pump Shotgun Back in Fortnite – June 27th, 2023

Players are wondering if Epic Games have added the pump shotgun back into Fortnite in today’s v25.11 update.

Last night, Epic Games announced that they will be releasing a new patch release today, v25.11. The servers are currently down for maintenance, and data miners are leaking the new content.

A new weapon will be available once the servers are back up, the repeatable explosive rifle. We don’t have stats for the new item yet, but we’ll be sure to update you when we do.

Surprisingly, the pump shotgun also appears to be back in Fortnite chapter four season three. The fan-favorite weapon was first added to the game in the pre-season.

The pump shotgun was been vaulted from the game on numerous occasions. It was last vaulted during chapter 4 season 2.

The Pump Shotgun is Back in Fortnite – Chapter 4 Season 3

The popular item was first unvaulted when the new season launched but only in Team Rumble. With today’s v25.11 release, it’s been added to the files.

We’re not sure if it’ll release with the summer event or if it’ll be available as soon as downtime ends. However, we do have the name and stats for the item.

Instead of being called the Pump Shotgun, it’s called the Sharp Tooth Shotgun. It’s available in all rarities except mythic.

Here are the stats:

We’ll update this article once downtime ends to see if it’s available in the game.

Fortnite New Update Today v25.11 (3.95) Summer Escape Event 2023 Patch Notes, Server Downtime- 27th June 2023

Epic Games have announced details for the next new Fortnite update which will see the summer event return for 2023.

Last week, Epic Games released the first major Fortnite update for chapter four season three. The v25.10 release included a new item, the Cloak Gauntlets.

A mythic boss was also released last week, Wildguard Relik. Upon defeating the boss, players can get their hands on the mythic version of the Cloak Gauntlets as well as a mythic version of the MK-Alpha.

The Flare Gun was also unvaulted along with Shockwave Grenades, although they’re only available in the Zero Build game mode.

Finally, two new Reality Augments were added; Mud Warrior and SMG extended mag, both of which have proven to be useful so far.

During downtime, data miners did what they usually do; leak new information regarding upcoming skins, challenges, items, and more.

They also leaked that the Fortnite Summer Escape Event for 2023 would be released in the v25.11 Fortnite update, which Epic Games just announced downtime for.

Here’s everything we know so far about the v25.11 Fortnite update along with all the information we have on the Fortnite 2023 Summer Event.

Fortnite Servers Down Right Now – When Will They Be Back Up June 27th, 2023

As you’ll know by now, Epic Games take the Fortnite servers down for scheduled maintenance when there’s a major release.

The v25.11 (3.95) update is no different with Epic Games announcing when the Fortnite servers will go down for scheduled maintenance.

The servers will go offline at 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST / 10 AM CEST. Matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand.

Based on previous updates, we’d assume matchmaking will be disabled at roughly 3:30 AM ET, so be sure to finish whatever you’re doing in-game by that time and don’t queue up for another game.

Here’s the official tweet from Epic announcing the release of the 3.95 Fortnite update (v25.11):

Fortnite New 3.95 Update June 27 2023 Servers Down

There’s no information as to when the servers will be back online. However, we’ve noticed that the servers are usually back online roughly two hours after they’re brought offline for maintenance.

Based on that information, we’d assume the servers will be online at roughly 6 AM ET / 11 AM BST / 12 PM CEST. We’ll update this section of the article when they’re officially online.

25.11 Fortnite Download File Size

When the 3.95 (25.11) update is available to download, we’ll share the size of the download of the new files for all platforms below.

  • PS4
  • PS5
  • PC
  • Xbox Series S|X
  • Nintendo Switch
  • Android

Be sure to check back to this section of the article during downtime to see how large the download size is for the June 27th 2023 update.

Fortnite Update 3.95 (25.11) Patch Notes – 27th June 2023

Epic has released some teasers for the July Crew Pack recently. In the 3.95 (v25.11) release, the skin will be added to the files and we should have an official reveal of the cosmetics.

Players will also be able to unlock the Purradise Meowscles Fortnite skin that’s available in the chapter four season three Battle Pass.

Based on the “line up the shot” hint in the tweet announcing downtime, it’s likely the leaked explosive repeater will be making its way into the game in the v25.11 release.

Fortnite Summer Escape Event 2023

Epic are consistent when it comes to keeping the same name for their Christmas event. However, the Fortnite summer events tend to change names fairly regularly.

The first summer event was called ’14 days of summer’, however, last year’s event was called No Sweat Summer. As expected, the event included a number of quests and rewards.

Some of the rewards included back blings, lobby tracks, an emote, and a glider.

We knew from leads that the Fortnite Summer event for 2023 was going to have a different name to last year, and it seems as though Epic hinted at the name, Summer Escape.

We don’t know what free rewards will be available during the Fortnite Summer Escape 2023 event, but we do know the names of the quests.

Thanks to leaks iFireMonkey, we know that The Quench, Lagoon Party Time, and Make an Entrance are the three questlines that are included in the Fortnite Summer Escape 2023 event.

Where to Find Cloak Gauntlets in Fortnite – Wildguard Relik Mythic Boss Location

Epic Games released the v25.10 Fortnite update today which includes the release of a brand new item, Cloak Gauntlets. Here’s where to find them as well as how and where to defeat the Wildguard Relik Mythic boss.

We have the first major Fortnite update of chapter four season three today, v25.10. The update introduces two new reality augments; Mud Warrior and SMG Extended Mag.

Mud Warrior will regenerate health and shield while in mud or covered in it, and SMG Extended Mag will increase the magazine size for any SMG you have in your inventory.

Shockwave Grenades were added back into the game today but only in Zero Build, findable from floor loot and chests.

The Cloak Gauntlets are a new item that has been added to the game in today’s update. Here’s everything you need to know about them including how they work and where to find them.

Fortnite Cloak Gauntlets

Cloak Gauntlets are made with reflective kinetic ore. They allow players to blend into their surroundings near-seamlessly.

They can be obtained from floor loot and chests but there’s a guaranteed way to get your hands on Cloak Gauntlets in Fortnite, but more on that later.

Fortnite Cloak Gauntlets

Whilst using the Gauntlets, players will not be able to attack opponents. However, you can end the cloaking early by unequipping them or swimming to another item in your inventory.

Where to find Cloak Gauntlets in Fortnite – Spawn Locations

There are no specific spawn locations for the Cloak Gauntlets. However, you have a better chance of finding them in locations that have a lot of chests.

You can also head to the hidden ruins vaults in order to have a better chance of finding them. There’s also a new mythic boss that once defeated, will drop a mythic version of the item, guaranteeing you obtaining them.

Wildguard Relik Mythic Boss Location – Mythic Cloak Gauntlets

Wildguard Relik is a new mythic boss that has been added in today’s v25.10 Fortnite update. Defeat the boss and you’ll obtain the WIldguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets.

The difference between the Wilguard Relik’s gauntlets and the normal one is the mythic version will allow you to cover yourself in kinetic ore for longer, with a shorter cooldown.

Wildguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets Location

You can find and defeat Wildguard Relik at Rumble Ruins. You’ll usually find him wondering around the main buildings.

Whilst fighting, Wildguard Relik will teleport around the named location, so you’ll have to keep moving around looking for him. Because of this, the fight will usually take longer than other boss fights in Fortnite.

Next New Fortnite Update Today v25.10 (3.94) Patch Notes & Server Downtime – 20th June 2023

Epic Games have announced the next new Fortnite update, v25.10 (3.94). Here are the early patch notes including details on a major Save the World change.

It’s been ten days since Epic Games released chapter four season three of Fortnite Battle Royale. For the most part, the season has been well-received.

Following on from the season release, Epic introduced a new item to the game in last week’s hotfix update. The MK-Alpha was added.

The new item is similar to the MK-Seven from chapter three. However, the MK-Alpha has increased damage with a lower fire rate, an increase in reload time, reduced recoil, and a smaller magazine.

The hotfix Fortnite update was followed up by a maintenance update that addressed stability issues caused by the v25.00 release.

We knew that the next Fortnite update would be coming this week thanks to a teaser for an upcoming collaboration that’ll be available with today’s v25.10 (3.94) update.

Epic Games have announced when the Fortnite servers will go down in preparation for the v25.10 update. Here’s everything you need to know from when the servers will be back up to the early patch notes.

Fortnite Servers Down & When Will They Be Back Update (June 20th, 2023)

As with every major Fortnite update, there will be server downtime in order for Epic Games to prepare the servers for the release of the v25.10 (3.94) update.

The official Fortnite Status Twitter account announced that the servers will go down for scheduled maintenance today, June 20th, 2023, at 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST / 9 AM CEST.

Here’s the official tweet announcing when the Fortnite servers will go down:

Fortnite v25.10 3.94 Update Server Downtime 20th June 2023

As usual, Epic Games haven’t announced when the Fortnite servers will be back online on June 20th, 2023. However, we can get an idea of how long they’ll be down based on previous updates.

The past few updates that haven’t been a new season have had a couple of hours of downtime. We’d expect the Fortnite servers to come back online at approximately 5 AM ET / 10 AM BST / 11 AM CEST.

Fortnite Update 3.94 (25.10) Patch Notes – 20th June 2023

Nike Airphoria x Fortnite Collaboration

Nike announced that a Nike Airphoria collaboration would be coming to the world of Fortnite. We don’t know the exact details of the collaboration yet, but we’d assume there will be Nike-themed cosmetics in the item shop.

We also know there will be an Air Max-themed UEFN map, and the experience will feature Nike-designed skins, and other cosmetics. Finally, we know that Swoosh members will have special rewards.

Nike Airphoria Air Max x Fortnite Collaboration

Save the World Daily Reward System Free V-Bucks Changes

Epic Games stated that with the v25.10 (3.94) Fortnite update, significant changes would be made to the rewards system in Save the World.

The daily login rewards will be removed from the game, but those free V-Bucks rewards will be moved to other sources including the Daily Quests and Mission Alerts.

However, players have worked out that as long as players do the above, there won’t be much of a difference in regard to how many free V-Bucks can be earned. For a full breakdown of this, visit the blog post here.

Daily Rewards System Change Fortnite Save the World

Data miners also mentioned that Fortnite v25.10 (3.94) will include the Super Styles. We knew when they’d be available to unlock, but they’ll be added to files today.

Shockwaves Grenades will be making a return, something which Epic Games announced on social media on June 15th.

This is likely due to the complaints from players that there aren’t as many mobility items in comparison to previous seasons. Epic will continue to monitor gameplay for all Battle Royale experiences and make adjustments where needed.

The July Crew Pack cosmetics will be added to the files in the 3.94 Fortnite update along with a possibility of summer cosmetics being added along with new augments.

During downtime, we’ll be posting any leaks that surface from the new release along with any guides for the new Nike x Fortnite collaboration.

Fortnite 23.50 Update Today 3.83 Patch Notes, Server Downtime, File Size – February 28th 2023

Epic Games have announced the final major Fortnite update of chapter 4 season 1. v23.50. Here are the early patch notes for the 3.83 release.

It’s almost been three months since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 1. The current season is expected to end on March 8th, 2023, but we’re getting one last update before then.

We’ve had four major Fortnite updates since the release of the new chapter. However, the biggest addition has been the Shockwave Hammer, an item that was added at the start of the season.

The last major Fortnite update, v23.40, was the best of the season thanks to the introduction of the Most Wanted event.

Not only does the event provide players with the chance to earn themselves free cosmetics by completing the quests, but a number of exotic weapons were also added to the loot pool.

Six vaulted weapons also made a return for the event including the Heavy Sniper, Dual Pistols, Boom Sniper Rifle, and Hop Rock Dualies.

Epic has announced that the final update of the season, v23.50 (3.83), will be released today, Tuesday, 28th February 2023.

Here’s everything you need to know about the update including early patch notes, the time the servers will go down for maintenance, and more.

Are the Fortnite Servers Down Today? Server Downtime February 28th, 2023

Whenever there’s a new Fortnite patch update, Epic Games need to bring the servers down for scheduled maintenance in order to prepare them for the latest release.

New patch releases are announced on the Fortnite Status Twitter account, and the v23.50 (3.83) patch update is no different.

Epic has announced that the servers will go down for scheduled maintenance at 3 AM ET / 8 AM GMT. Matchmaking will be disabled shortly before, likely at 2:30 AM ET.
