Epic Games post a blog post with some details regarding the new patch.
Check out some highlights below!
EXPLORE STARK INDUSTRIES
Genius. Billionaire. Philanthropist. Tony Stark’s confidence is only matched by his technology and business savvy.
The center of much super activity, the high-tech Stark Industries is now on the map. Explore this esteemed complex to gather loot and maybe even meet a Hero (or Villain)…
THE FORCES OF GALACTUS DESCEND
Drawing nearer to the Island, Galactus now has his own enemy Drones roaming the battlefield. These Gatherer Drones are designed for collecting loot, but they’re also loot themselves: upon defeat, they’ll deactivate and turn into their weapon form. Deactivated Gatherers are highly unstable, so they’ll explode if you don’t pick them up quickly!
Downtime has begun!
The official Fortnite Status Twitter has tweeted out that downtime has begun, in preparation of patch V14.10.
