Important times about server downs today in Fortnite – When and how long will it be offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to go down at 10:00 AM our time to install update 20.10. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes before that, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds after 09:30.
When will you be able to play again? The servers are usually offline for several hours during such maintenance work and playing is no longer possible there. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This is what the updates of the past weeks have shown.
Of course, there can always be technical problems, bugs and delays during such maintenance work. If there are any such complications, we will report them here immediately.
When will the patch notes be released? Epic Games has been publishing little to no patch notes for a long time. However, members of the community usually look for and find the changes quickly. However, if there are still important changes, we will also supplement this article for you.
What new content does update 20.10 bring?
What’s new for Battle Royale mode? There are no concrete statements from Epic Games about the contents of patch 20.10 yet. However, leaks and dataminers have often proven to be a safe source in the past. The changes are official, though:
Unlocking the additional styles and new cosmetic items.
Those who have treated themselves to the Battle Pass will also get access to bonus rewards throughout the – Season . This tab in the menu always has a timer that shows when you can unlock the extra styles. Now that update 20.10 has been rolled out, you can marvel at the new content.
Shiina, a well-known Fortnite leaker, has summarized all the new cosmetic items in his YouTube video.
Return of the heavy sniper
The heavy sniper rifle
Epic has once again brought a weapon out of retirement. With the heavy sniper, you now have three snipers to choose from, which you can use to destroy your enemies from a safe distance.
New fundraiser – MK7 or combat assault rifle?
