In Fortnite today, a new update for Save the World and Battle Royale arrives. We take a look at the patch notes for Fortnite 6.01 in English and see that frosty times are coming.
Today, on the Day of German Unity, the first update for the new Season 6 in Fortnite arrives. Currently, the servers are still down, while maintenance is ongoing. But the patch notes are already live.
In today’s update, we mainly find new items for both modes of Fortnite. We summarize the patch notes.
Highlights of the Patch Notes for Fortnite Battle Royale 6.01
Creative mode gets more options: In Creative mode, there are now more possibilities for customization. One can now set the time of day, gravity, or starting health points.
New item: The Ice Trap comes. It is a common item and drops in stacks of three from treasure chests, supply drops, or from the ground. It can also be obtained from vending machines.
The trap can be placed on floors, walls, or ceilings. It encases the feet of friend or foe in ice and makes them slide.
These new skins are coming to the shop soon: Data miners have already extracted the data to find out which skins and items will be coming to the shop soon. You can read all about it in our new article about the “coming soon” new shop items in Fortnite.
The special aspect:
- The ice trap had been found earlier. Data miners thought it would slow down and freeze enemies. Instead, it is more of a “movement” item and makes the game a slide show for the affected.
- Interestingly, there is nothing in the patch notes about the new mode “Disco Domination”, which was actually announced.

New weapon Motor Hammer: A new item called “Motor Hammer” comes to Save the World, which swings faster with each hit. The hammer allows for a jump attack, where you jump to an enemy and knock back nearby foes. The Motor Hammer is available this week in the Fortnite Gold Shop.
Devastator Sniper Rifle: This item is also new in the shop. It is a slow-firing but heavy sniper rifle with a lot of power and high recoil. The sniper penetrates husks and walls.
In addition, there are again some bug fixes in the patch notes for Fortnite.
