Fortnite update today (17th September): What changes in the patch notes?
Fortnite’s V31.20 update is due to go live later today, and its patch notes promise some major expansions.
With this update, we’re getting new game modes, character skins and weapons in both the Battle Royale and the LEGO iterations.
The Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 is continuing with supervillain Doctor Doom wreaking havoc on Battle Royale Island, but players will face a new task of taking his henchmen down in a much-anticipated Limited Time Mode.
The game’s servers have been undergoing maintenance since 9am in the UK, so we don’t have long left to wait, but let's take a look at everything we know so far about the game’s latest patch notes.
There are tons of changes coming to Fortnite in today’s update, but the most prominent one is the introduction of a new Limited Time Mode called Day of Doom.
It continues the Marvel theme of Chapter 5 Season 4, and it will split up to 32 players into teams of two.
One side will play as Doom’s Henchmen, who must collect six Artefacts before eliminating their opposition, the Allies of the Avengers. The heroes must simply wipe out Doom’s forces before they can obtain the goods — easy, right?
Fortnite’s page on X also teased a shiny new Iron Man armour skin.
Another major update is coming in the form of a LEGO Fortnite expansion called The Lost Isles. This introduces five new environments to explore, including a pirate-infested beach and a scenic mountain range.
It also marks the return of the beloved Klombos — a beast that previously featured in the game’s Battle Royale mode — which you can befriend by feeding them.
There’s a bunch of new weapons to be found, too, including a musket and throwing spears, as well as a LEGO Pass to work your way through.
Below is a full breakdown of what is coming in the V31.20 update.
