Patch Notes for Fortnite Update 34.10: Downtime, Invincible Skins, Midas, and Kendrick Lamar Emote
Fortnite Update 34.10: New Features and Fixes Unveiled
Epic Games has recently announced the launch of Fortnite update 34.10, which is now available for players on various platforms including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android. This update marks an exciting milestone as it introduces several new skins, items, and bug fixes, enhancing the gaming experience for players.
The latest update follows a period without significant content releases, making the March 11 roll-out highly anticipated. The servers were taken offline for maintenance, temporarily suspending gameplay around 8 AM GMT, and they were expected to be back online by around 10 AM GMT. This downtime allowed the developers to integrate new features and improvements.
According to insights from gaming insiders like Shiina, the update has unveiled a range of new skins, including one inspired by Shohei Ohtani, which comes complete with a unique Samurai style. Additionally, fans can look forward to the introduction of a new emote featuring Kendrick Lamar, expected to be added in the forthcoming weeks.
The focal point of update 34.10 is a new character named Fletcher Kane, who adds a fresh element to gameplay. A notable highlight is the “Invincible” crossover, which brings new skins and items centered around characters like Allen the Alien and Dupli-Kate. Furthermore, there are rumors about the release of the Outlaw Midas skins and related questlines, which are likely to join the game alongside a new Scorpion skin inspired by Mortal Kombat.
In addition to new character skins, Epic Games has confirmed that several impactful items will also be introduced. Players can look forward to using the Outlaw Shotgun, Rocket Drill, and Pump & Dump, all of which aim to diversify gameplay strategies in combat. The incorporation of these weapons is expected to add an exciting layer to the game.
As usual with updates, Epic Games uses this opportunity not just to introduce new content but also to fix bugs and refine the gameplay experience. For instance, the patch notes for update 34.10 include important fixes and adjustments that address issues players may have encountered. Some key fixes listed under the “General” category indicate that the Batman Comic Book Cape may not animate correctly in Performance Mode during various actions, such as running or jumping.
Moreover, issues in the Battle Royale mode have also been addressed. For instance, players may have noticed cosmetic items not unlocking correctly as they rank up. Additionally, campfires will now take damage and will be destroyed shortly after being ignited, adding a layer of realism to the game. Players will also experience adjustments to the Vending Machine functionality; after making a purchase, the menu will close automatically.
On mobile devices, some interface elements have been modified as well. Players using the "Toggle Zoom" feature may find it positioned too far inside the scope lens on specific HUD layouts, which could hinder visibility during gameplay. Furthermore, a bug causing the ‘Net Debug Stats’ widget to display twice on the screen has been identified and will be rectified.
This substantial update demonstrates Epic Games’ commitment to continuous improvement and player satisfaction within the Fortnite community. By introducing fresh content, addressing gameplay issues, and expanding the overall experience, Epic aims to keep the game engaging for both new and returning players.
