When will the new Fortnite Update 4.5 be released? Unlike usual, the new patch seems to be coming later in the week. But when can we expect the update and what will it include?
Update 4.5 not on Tuesday? Fortnite updates usually come at the beginning of the week. Typically, Tuesday is patch day for Epic’s colorful shooter. However, with Update 4.5, the developers seem to be taking more time. On June 26, 2018, everything remained unchanged. No update was deployed to the servers, and there was no news from Epic on the subject.
When will Update 4.5 be released?
Is Wednesday the patch day? Since the new update is unlikely to arrive on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, it should come at a later time in the week. What would be the logical date? It would be Wednesday (June 27).
Why this day? Wednesday is promising because it is the last day before the new week 9 challenges of the Battle Pass. It is rather unlikely that Epic will deliver the update on the day of the weekly challenges.
Patch likely to be released before the challenges for week 9
Shopping carts as a hint? Too much can go wrong if a major patch and the challenge update come on the same day. According to a leak, the shopping carts are supposed to play a role again in the week 9 challenges. If this is indeed the case, Epic would have to bring the carts back into the game via a patch beforehand.
There should be time between patch and challenge update: This would likely be Patch 4.5, and it would have to be released before the new challenges. Epic can still intervene if there are problems again.
Creative Mode and PvE content – What can you expect in Update 4.5?
The content of Patch 4.5: The upcoming update will bring a lot of new content. Among other things, the following innovations are likely to be included in the patch notes:
- Reporting Feedback: If you report a player for inappropriate behavior, you will now receive a notification when Epic responds and issues a penalty.
- Creative Mode (PvP): This long-awaited mode is finally set to come to Battle Royale. In it, you can test tactics to your heart’s content and thanks to respawn, you won’t get eliminated immediately when you are downed. Here is more info about the Creative Mode.
- Slot Clearance (PvE): For 20 V-Bucks, you can now clear your collection slots in PvE mode.
- Builder Pro (PvE): The control scheme known from PvP for faster building is now set to come to PvE as well.
- Separate Control Schemes (PvE): You will now have the option to save different control schemes for the PvP and PvE modes of Fortnite.
