Fortnite Patch Download +size

Fortnite PS4 Patch is Too Large; Epic is Investigating. While the size of the patch seems to indicate that it is packed. They get the OK from the developer. 10 GB is no easy download, and if.

What is the real DOWNLOAD SIZE of FORTNITE? Javed_wilde Jan 11, 2018, 5:05 PM. Doing a pre-patch almost 3 months before the next expansion is rather strange. Ask a new question.
Our Fortnite: Battle Royale page outlines the download size and how to install the game on PS4, Xbox One, PC or Mac. Since Epic Games introduced a Battle Royale mode to their PVE shooter Fortnite, the game has absolutely exploded in popularity, and it's not hard to see why.

Fortnite update: The latest

Fortnite v9.21 update overview

Release date: June 12, 2019.

This Fortnite update is a small one, but it has some cool new features, including a brand new weapon. It’s somewhere between the grenade launcher and the rocket launcher, with the added benefit of exploding when near an enemy, without needing to make direct contact.

A new game mode is also present in this update, and it appears to be similar to the original Fortnite game mode: Save the World. In it, you team up with up to three other players to fight against the fiends from a many patches ago. Defeat the boss fiend at the end and vie for the high score!

Fortnite update v9.21 patch notes

What’s New?

Proximity Grenade Launcher

It’s not a horseshoe or a hand grenade, but close still counts!

Horde Rush (Coming Soon)

A new 4-player Co-op Limited Time mode is just around the corner! Survive the Horde Rush on June 13.

Limited Time Mode Rotation:

One Shot Duos

Low Gravity. Every player has 50 health. Sniper weapons are the only weapon, Bandages are the only healing item. Jump high and aim well!

Horde Rush

Fortnite Fiends are back on the island and angrier than ever! Fight alongside your teammates to rack up your score by finding hidden score multipliers, opening special loot chests, and eliminating as many monsters as you can. Traverse across the map, survive all of the Defend locations and take down the Final Boss to win!

Mode Details:

Four player Squad mode divided up into multiple stages.
Prepare to defend an area by searching for weapons & items, scavenging materials, and building defenses.
Rack up points by fighting Fiends, collecting score multipliers, and destroying Fiend Spawners.
Recover from the battle and search for more equipment.
Travel across the map to the next defense point.
Respawning is enabled until the last stage when players have to destroy a Boss Fiend and his horde of minions.
Keep an eye out for special loot chests, which contain powerful weapons & provide a scoring bonus.

Weapons + Items

Proximity Grenade Launcher

Fires an arcing, bouncing, explosive projectile that explodes when in proximity of an opponent.
Available in Epic and Legendary Rarities.
Found from Chests, Loot Carriers, Supply Drops, and Vending Machines.
Semi-Automatic.
Uses Rocket Ammo.
Holds 2 Explosive Rounds.
Rate of Fire: 0.65 shots per second.
Player Proximity Radius: 250 units (about half the width of a tile).
Explosion Radius: 300 units (about 60% of the width of a tile).
Explosion damage:
- Player: 67/70
- Environmental: 131/138
Reload Speed: 2.8s/3s
Projectiles explode automatically after 10s or if it has nearly come to a stop.

Shield Potion

Increased the availability from Chest loot from 11.3% to 12.09%

Small Shield Potion

Increased the availability from Chest loot from 16.95% to 18.13%
With items being added and removed, we’ve noticed that Shield Potions and Small Shields have been less available in Chests. So we’ve increased the chance to find Shields from Chests to compensate for that.

Shotguns

Increased the overall chance to find from Floor loot from 8.50% to 9.77%
After seeing the community’s feedback about Shotgun availability, we’ve increased the Shotgun availability from Floor Loot to make finding them in the early phases of the game easier.

Infantry Rifle Epic and Legendary variants

Increased the availability from Floor loot from .067% to .105%
Increased the availability from Chest loot from .414% to .645%

Heavy Assault Rifle Common variant

Decreased the availability from Floor loot from 2.04% to 1.715%
Decreased the availability from Chest loot from 12.47% to 10.46%

Mounted Turret

Latest Wow Patch Download

Decreased the availability from floor loot from .59% to .46%

Storm Flip

Adjusted Storm Flip to cause flat damage instead of being based on which Storm Phase is currently active.
- Causes 5 damage every second.
- This change may not be immediately available at the time of release. It requires a server update and will become active at some point later in the day.
- We noticed with scaling damage that players held onto their Storm Flip later into matches, creating undesirable effects. This change gives players more value in using it earlier in matches.
Reduced the availability from Chests from 3.39% to 1.69%
Reduced the availability from Floor loot from 3.32% to 1.66%
Added back into the Arena and Tournament playlists.
- We have visual effect changes coming in v9.30 that will help improve readability.

Audio

Bug Fixes

Audio was sounding muffled due to a filter optimization issue.

Mobile

We’ve noticed iOS patches have experienced delays appearing in the App Store recently. Apple has stated that any application can take up to 24 hours to appear in the App Store. If no update is available, be sure to check our social channels for more info.

Fortnite update history

Fortnite v9.20 update overview

Release date: June 6, 2019.

The big news with Fortnite update v9.20 is the addition of the Storm Flip, which lets you temporarily turn on or off the Storm in a small area. This could force enemies to abandon their previously safe positions, or allow you to save a downed teammate just outside the safe zone.

This update also contains a number of smaller changes, including the vaulting of all variants of the Hunting Rifle. Mobile players can rejoice, as healing is now much easier with the addition of Quick Heal. Check out the patch notes below for more info!

Fortnite v9.20 update patch notes

What’s new?

Storm Flip

Power of the storm in the palm of your hands!

Weapons + Items

Storm Flip
- Thrown item that explodes on impact and creates a sphere-shaped zone.
- Where the sphere overlaps the storm, it will create a safe zone.
- Where the sphere overlaps a safe zone, it will create a storm zone.
- The Storm Flip deals the same damage as the current storm.
- The zone lasts for 20 seconds before dissipating.
- Available in Epic Rarity.
- Can be found from Floor Loot, Chests, and Vending Machines.
- Drops in stacks of 1.
- Max stack of 1.
Vaulted
- Hunting Rifle all variants
- While we value the variety of longer range sniping options, the Hunting Rifle has become somewhat outclassed by the Infantry Rifle after it was changed to hitscan. In addition, there are a few Sniper Rifle options available and we feel it doesn’t currently fill a necessary role in the item lineup.
Loot Carrier
- Reduced sniper package availability from 12.5% to 8.45%
- Reduced explosive package availability from 12.5% to 7.04%
- The chances of getting high-powered, rare items from Supply Drones was higher than felt appropriate, so we’ve reduced their availability slightly
Mounted turret
- Overheat now takes 20% longer.
- The Mounted Turret’s usage has decreased over time. By slightly increasing time before Overheat, the goal is to help increase its risk/reward.
Increased max charge time on Boom Bow from 1s to 1.25s
- The Boom Bow is a bit stronger than we’d like. This adjustment should reduce frequency between shots, making misses riskier. We’d like to evaluate the impact of this change before making any additional adjustments, and it’s possible that more tweaks will be necessary if this doesn’t have the desired effect.
The Slipstream’s audio, pink ring, and spinning blades turn off when disabled during the fifth phase of the Storm.
Players revived from a Reboot Van will lose invulnerability upon shooting or building.
Air Vents are now more forgiving in order to prevent fall damage when players jump on them from high places.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue in which weapons that previously had no ammo would be unable to be automatically reloaded.
Fixed an issue where players would take fall damage after exiting a Baller quickly rolling downhill.
Aim assist can no longer be used to fire at players using a Shadow Bomb.
Fixed an issue where players could damage teammates who were disconnected from the match.
Fixed an issue where the Flying Disc Toy would get caught on Ballers in mid-air.
Fixed an issue where Slipstream audio and visual FX would continue to occur after the player exits.
Fixed an issue where Air Vents’ sound and visual effects occurred more than once.
Fixed an issue in which Driftboards were unable to exit Slipstreams.
Exiting a vehicle that had entered a Slipstream no longer causes players to skydive.
Vending Machines no longer become unusable when a player using one gets eliminated.
The Flint-Knock Pistol is now consistently able to knock targets and the shooter the correct distance.
Dynamite audio no longer gets stuck on a loop during replays.
The lava bounce visual effect no longer persists if a Baller bounces from lava to water.

Limited time mode rotation

Sword Fight

Treasure chest contain Epic or better weapons as well as the occasional Infinity Blade! Fight your opponents to find out who is worthy of the Blade… and who is not.

Gameplay

Auto Swap Material option was removed and is always on.
- Removing the option allowed us to optimize Auto-Swap behavior, primarily reducing rare cases in which materials did not swap properly.
Increased duration for how long elimination credit can be granted to the last damager.
- Fall damage from 15s to 60s
- Self-elimination from 15s to 60s
- Storm elimination from 5s to 60s
Lowered the difficulty for awarding Fortbytes by finishing top 10 in squads, duos, or solos from 25, 50, 75, 100 to 5, 15, 30, 50
Added support for foot controller devices to the Accessibility options.
Adjusted Invert Aircraft Controls setting info to better describe the option.

Bug Fixes

Gamepad custom build controls now consistently allow players to turbo build when using the ‘Place’ action while simultaneously having the ‘Stair,’ ‘Wall,’ ‘Roof,’ or ‘Floor’ action bound.
Fixed an issue where players would accidentally place a floor piece above when attempting to build below them.
Fixed an issue in which the destruction of a building could be interrupted by reconnecting it to its base.
Fixed an issue in which players would hang in the air if they disconnected during the bus drop phase.
Certain Fortbytes requiring a specific cosmetic item now correctly unlock for players who have it equipped.

Audio

Updated reload sounds for weapons to be mono instead of stereo. This will help with spatialization improvements for weapon swap sounds.

Bug Fixes

The storm damage sound effect no longer ends prematurely.

Mobile

Fortnite v9.10 update overview

Release date: May 22, 2019.

Just in case you thought Fortnite was getting stale, update v9.10 introduces a Hot Spots that bring extra loot to certain parts of the map. These are remarkably similar to the Hot Zones found in Apex Legends, but this time the loot is found in flying Loot Carriers that need to be shot down.

This Fortnite update also brings back the Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle, which should add more variety to mid/long-range weapon choices. Take full advantage of the unvaulted weapon in the limited time mode Sniper Shootout Duos, or play will all vaulted weapons in Unvaulted Squads.
