Today, a patch is expected for Fortnite. The new Fortnite update 4.3 is set to bring shopping carts and some improvements for the “Save the World” mode. But will it be today? Will the Fortnite servers go offline?
Normally, an update comes today, on May 29, right? Usually, there is an update every Tuesday in Season 4. It has been like that every week. However, there has been no announcement for a patch this time. Nevertheless, it seems likely that an update is coming today. They announced in the game, what is happening next: shopping carts are coming to Fortnite.
Fortnite patch likely not until Thursday
Update: As of now, it is no longer expected that an update for Fortnite will come today. There seem to be issues with the challenges and Epic has not commented all day. Epic has now reported that the new challenges will not be active until Thursday at 10 AM. So, we can likely expect the patch only on Thursday!
Update May 30, 9:30 AM: The patch is indeed coming on Wednesday. You can read all about it in this article:
Is there server downtime for Fortnite today?
Will the servers go offline? Currently, there are no statements from Epic regarding whether a patch will come and if the servers will go offline. We will update this article as soon as we know more. If there is server downtime, it should start around 10:00 AM our time – it usually would have been announced by now. It looks like the servers will remain online today.
New challenges are likely coming: What will happen at 10:00 AM is that the new challenges for Week 5 of Season 4 will go live. A leak has already revealed what players can expect.
Update: The challenges will not be available until Thursday, as we now know.
When will the new Fortnite update arrive?
When will patch 4.3 be available for Fortnite? If downtime is avoided, the patch will likely activate from 2 PM. However, some suspect now that the patch could be postponed due to the holiday in the USA yesterday (Memorial Day). Epic stated that the “Returning Skins” on June 1 will be active in the game again – perhaps the update will only come later this week.
Update: It is now believed that the patch will not come until Thursday.
What is likely included in the Fortnite patch
What is included in the patch for Fortnite Battle Royale? The highlight is certainly “shopping carts,” which were announced in-game by Epic. Shopping carts were already found in a data mining leak from February. The shopping carts are likely vehicles. Whether you will be able to steer them yourself or if they will follow certain paths is still unknown.
What’s coming this week for Fortnite “Save the World?” For the PvE mode “Save the World,” the following will arrive this week:
- A new assault rifle
- Part two of the Blockbuster event
- The Port-a-Fort item
- More gold when increasing the difficulty of a mission
- More legendary flux in the shop
