Epic Games’ Fortnite is getting a large update on Tuesday August 29th in the form of Survive The Storm. This update will bring in a new mode of Survive The Storm, though it will only run for a limited time. In it players must gather resources during the day before facing off against enemies at night, with the enemies becoming stronger as time wears on.
The storms themselves will also have different modifiers including limited health and enraged opponents. A Hydraulic weapon set will also be available alongside new heroes and defenders. Additionally patch 1.4.8 has rolled out and includes the following fixes.
- Fixed an end of match score bug that led to display of 0 XP gained. We’ve seen another issue causing 0 XP and are still investigating.
- Fixed an issue where Xbox players were not shown a notice in the in-game client stating a new game patch was available
- Fixed an AI-related server crash
- Fixed an audio-related client crash
- Corrected an issue caused by placing multiple defenders in a mission
- Smoothed out hitching caused by placing a Level 30 BASE in a zone
- Reduced the likelihood that players will experience sign-in errors during a Xbox Live service outage
