A brand newFortniteupdate is set to be deployed later today (September 28), but will unfortunately come with some server downtime to get things ready for v18.10.
Whilst you wait for theFortniteservers to come back online, check out all the details you need on v18.10, including the official patch notes and when you can expect the game’s servers to come back online.
When WillFortniteServers Be Back Up?
UPDATE:TheFortniteservers are now back online and v18.10 is available. Expect full patch notes to follow shortly.
ORIGINAL STORY:TheFortniteStatus Twitter accounthas revealed that the game’s servers will be taken offline at 1AM PT / 4AM ET / 9AM BST to perform scheduled maintenance to prepare for the release of v18.10.
Although it has not been detailed how long the servers will be down, previous updates have seen theFortniteservers offline for around 2-3 hours. We expect v18.10 to follow a similar pattern. As soon as theFortniteservers are back up, we will update this article.
Once downtime has been completed, players will be required to download a new patch before they can jump back intoFortnite. Which the developers have noted will be slightly larger than normal for those on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Fortnitev18.10 Patch Notes
Below you will find the official patch notes for the September 28Fortniteupdate, which is now available on all supported platforms.
NEW CHUG SPLASH FLAVOR: CHILI CHUG SPLASH
Staying on top of the IO 24/7 takes A LOT of energy⦠which is why the new Chug Splash flavor couldnât have come at a better time.ÂThe Chug Splash people just droppedÂChili Chug Splash, Chug Splash with a kick. It restores Health and Shield like youâd expect, but it also gives you such an energy boost itâll give you a speed boost too. Think of eating a Spicy Fish or a Pepper. (Or donât think of it. The Chili Chug Splash tastes just like them…) And hey, since itâs a Chug Splash, you may share the kick with others too. Get your squadsâ feet and nose running.Chili Chug Splashes are Exotic. Exchange Bars with The Brat for some or find some in Loot Llamas.
SPLASH THE OG CHUG SPLASH AND WEAR THE HUNTERâS CLOAK
Alongside the debut of Chili Chug Splash, the original Chug Splash has been re-released. It may not have that kick, but the Health and Shield nutritional value is all the same. (Itâs also much easier on the taste buds.) Being the Chug Splash the Island knows and loves, you can pick some up as normal loot.Itâs really difficult to sneak around when a wolf is thinking Iâm their food. That shouldnât be an issue anymore, though, because â speaking of things returning â the Island has collectively remembered how to make a Hunterâs Cloak.Craft a Hunterâs Cloak by combining Meat.(Itâs honestly kind of gross, but it does take less Meat than it did before.)
IF YOUâRE STOPPING BY STEAMY STACKS…
Something weird I noticed: thereâs a big hole at Steamy Stacks. Was there an accident on the job? Did something⦠escape from the ground?ÂCould be something for you to investigate.- Charlotte
