The new update 6.2 brings the Halloween season 2018 on this Wednesday, October 24. The servers of Fortnite: Battle Royale will go offline on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). During the maintenance, a patch will be available for download. When will the servers go offline and when will Fortnite be playable again?
It’s getting spooky in Fortnite: As last year, Fortnite will transform for Halloween and get a much darker look. New skins, thematically adjusted weapons, and changes to the map – we will likely get quite a bit with today’s update.
Before you can start the “Fortnitemares,” the name of the event, you will have to go through maintenance.
Fortnite servers go offline – When will they be back online?
When does the server downtime start? Around 9:30 AM German time, player search will be disabled. At 10:00 AM, the Fortnite servers will be down. You will have to take a break.
When will the Fortnite servers be back online? The timeframe for maintenance usually ranges between two to three hours. Around noon, you should be able to log back in!
When the servers are back online, you will learn about it as usual at MeinMMO. Here you will also find the patch notes, which will be released on time at the start of the downtime.
What does update 6.2 bring for the Battle Royale fraction? The most important change has already led to controversial discussions in the community. The mechanic known from the height rush mode, where the glider can not only be used initially but also when falling from great heights, is now permanently unlocked in all modes.
According to Epic, this is an experiment. They want to analyze and evaluate the impacts. The mechanic will be active for one week. Has the end of fall damage arrived?
Otherwise, there are mainly speculations about the new Halloween event Fortnitemares speculation. There will probably be another cowboy skin, and there are also speculations about the return of the Pumpkin Rocket Launcher. In addition, new challenges and changes to the map are likely. We can’t wait to see what awaits us after the update.
What can Save the World players look forward to: In the Fortnite subreddit, there was only the announcement of the Fortnitemares. Apart from the cryptic hint “The darkness rises,” Epic has remained tight-lipped for now. Even for the PvE part, players will have to wait until the end of maintenance.
