Fortnite

Epic Games' unstoppable online game and social platform debuted in 2017, and its popularity shows no signs of slowing, with a steady stream of collabs with major musicians and iconic franchises.

Fortnite’s 11.50 patch adds the previously-mentioned Unreal Engine Chaos physics system. The Launch Pad has returned to non-competitive modes. Sidegrading was removed from competitive modes; Epic says its inclusion was unintentional.

Fortnite’s next season has been delayed to February 20, Epic announced yesterday. “Beginning with the release of the 11.50 update in early February, Fortnite will be moving to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system,” the developer also wrote.

Fortnite’s 11.40 patch adds the ability to “sidegrade” at least one weapon: the example given is the assault rifle, which can be turned into the heavy assault rifle. The patch also reduces the materials needed to upgrade weapons at benches and fixes some bugs.

Fortnite’s 11.31 patch adds Battle Lab, a customizable island that lets you pick fromfavorite LTM loot pools, set up combat scenarios with the new Bot Grenades, and create your own mode by setting options like gravity and fall damage.” Playground mode has been moved to the Creative category.

Fortnite’s Star Wars event has been delayed to 2:10 Eastern, as the game struggles under server troubles.
