Today, on Tuesday, September 11th, the Fortnite servers will receive an update twice on all platforms (PC / Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android) to fix bugs and introduce a new weapon. When are the servers down? When will it continue? We have all the answers!
The update today will be released in two phases: The servers will be shut down at 08:00 AM German time to fix some bugs, according to Epic. The exact bugs are currently unknown, but Epic will likely provide corresponding patch notes soon.
How long will the morning downtime last? Epic has not made any statements regarding this. Depending on the complexity of the update, it may take a few hours.
When will the regular content update be released? Content Update 5.40 will be rolled out at 2 PM German time. Whether the patch will be accompanied by server downtime for Fortnite: Battle Royale is currently unknown.
Usually, the updates are released at 2 PM without server maintenance. Players only need to download an update.
What will be included in the updates for Fortnite: Battle Royale? Many players are currently reporting lags, crashes, and generally poor performance since the original update 5.40. The suppressed assault rifle, a silent weapon for medium ranges, is definitely coming.
Furthermore, the story surrounding the mysterious cube will likely continue. Epic has also regularly hidden changes to the map in past updates. We are curious about which secrets the players will uncover.
What the updates bring for Save the World players: The PvE faction has been struggling with serious bugs for several weeks that have significantly impacted the player experience for some.
Even though various issues were addressed in recent weeks, there will likely be more bug fixes in today’s patch as well. You can read about which ones they are here on Mein MMO as soon as the patch notes are available.
Are you looking forward to the suppressed assault rifle?
Update 14:35: The patch notes and a super weapon are being removed from Fortnite:
