Fortnite has a new update coming today, and the patch notes are live now. The patch notes include a handful of useful tweaks and activities for the game, but they also open up the Halloween fun with festive skins and maps to play with your friends. Not only that, but players are going to have the chance to complete several challenges around specific maps.
This time around, Epic Games went the unusual route of not posting exact details of the changes made. A handful of posts can guess based on their experience and edits. However, the notes below are the big things that have changed in Epic Games. Players can expect to see some new stuff in the game, but again, there were likely a handful of bug fixes and balance changes that were never released.
These patch notes are for 11.10, Fortnite update 2.42. You can read them all below:
