Latest - The 16.10 Update Is Now Live

Find & Tame Raptors Now

Now that the 16.10 update is out, you can now find raptors roaming the Fortnite island.

They're dangerous, but we've got a detailed guide here on how to find and tame raptors.

In short, they will appear near hatched eggs throughout the map and you can tame them with meat or the Hunter's Cloak.

They're pretty formidable though, so don't get too close unless you're sure you'll be able to beat them.

Update Size

The 16.10 update, which brings dinosaurs to Fortnite, is now live and can be downloaded on all platforms.

We've got the full patch notes below, but downtime began at 4am ET/9am BST, so the servers should be back online imminently.

  • PS4 - 3GB
  • PS5 - 6.4GB
  • Xbox One - 3.89GB

Fortnite 16.10 Update

The Fortnite 16.10 Patch is due to release on March 30, adding a few new features to the game.

Fortnite leaker, RodneyDonahue4, has claimed that the Driftboard will be making a return to the game in either the 16.10 or 16.20 update, which may come as an additional surprise.

Also, @HYPEX on Twitter has shown off what the dino eggs will look like in Fortnite, with it also be possible for them to arrive in the update 16.10.

New Skins

As is the case pretty much every week, we expect there to be new skins released throughout the week.

The Fortnite X Rocket League Lama Rama event has begun, so you'll be able to get skins for the battle royale from Epic's other hit game, but more should come to the store.

Maybe even some more styles for someone like Lara Croft, who's been the star of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 so far.
