The third downloadable Fortnite update since season 10’s release went online some time ago. The most recent two patches restored Retail Row and transformed Tilted Towers into a Western town. Another place has been added this week, but it’s different from what you’d expect. Here are the latest Fortnite update patch notes.
Mayhem x Fortnite
There is currently a Borderlands x Fortnite crossover in the game. It contains cosmetics, challenges, and an entirely new place on the map modeled on Pandora from the game Borderlands.

B.R.U.T.E. Mech Changes
The B.R.U.T.E.’s icon on the map will stay visible to all players after boarding one. The icon will follow the moving car.
- This is to raise all players’ awareness of the presence and position of a B.R.U.T.E.
ART + ANIMATION
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that caused Catalyst’s idle left arm to clip through multiple bags in the lobby.
- The Y0ND3R Outfit and E.Q. Wrap now display accurate animations on PlayStation 4.
- Boarding a B.R.U.T.E. within the Tilted Town Rift Zone and exiting the Rift Zone while in a B.R.U.T.E. no longer prevents the player’s Outfit from returning to the equipped Outfit.
AUDIO
- Changed the shape of the audio attenuation of the Junk Rift from a sphere to a capsule.
- This will make Junk Rift items loud when they spawn at a higher altitude.
- The level of the Minigun’s overheating sounds has been decreased.
U.I
Bug Fixes

- The input U.I. for the B.R.U.T.E.’s gunner mode no longer displays incorrect inputs for controller users.
- Fixed an issue where the player icon would not refresh correctly when the Locker Outfit setting was set to Random.
- A rounding error no longer occurs when applying Bandages or Small Shields to the Health and Shield meters.
- Resolved a bug that resulted in the Social Panel displaying an erroneous list of Team Members.
REPLAY
- Local replays now utilize the same H.U.D. as server and broadcast replays.
- The camera will now follow the eliminated player’s teammates or the player who eliminated them following a replay.
- Rearranged and adjusted somewhat the replay H.U.D. controls.
- The button used to view the player list has been deleted. However, the player list is still accessible via the map screen.
- On August 20, we stopped server-streamed replays on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to improve server stability and performance.
MOBILE
- iOS will optimize content during the game’s initial run after a patch has been installed. This will lessen the time spent hitching and loading while waiting for the Battle Bus to depart.
- 60FPS support for the iPhone 8 has been re-enabled.
- The visuals that appear on-screen throughout the patching process have been updated.
Vaulted Goods
- Storm Flip
- Drum Gun
- Sniper Rifle for Storm Scouts
Pandora Location
- A Rift Beacon has established the Pandora Rift Zone in the oasis near Paradise Palms.
- A collaboration between Fortnite and Mayhem.
- This Rift Zone is very similar to the planet Pandora. However, it is more than a model. Even the planet’s rules apply.
- After four seconds of not taking damage while in the Rift Zone, players will begin to create Shield.
- Pandora is accessible till September 10.
The v10.20 update for Fortnite will necessitate some server maintenance, so players should expect to wait up to two hours before they can check-in. However, the wait is typically much shorter. After the maintenance has concluded and players have downloaded the update, all of the new features will be accessible for use.
