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

- 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

- 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

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.
