Fortnite: Patch Notes for Chapter 3 Season 1 – All new content

In Fortnite, after the live event on December 4th, the servers went down due to a cliff hanger (PC / Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android). The downtime was used to roll out the new 3rd chapter with the 1st season. All changes will be understood promptly here on MeinMMO.

What happened in Fortnite today? In Fortnite, the live event ended with a turn of the map at the end of Chapter 2. The dice queen has withdrawn and left us a new map and a cliffhanger. Now the servers are back and we are supplying you with all the important information about the new Chapter 3 patch notes.

If you need important information about the live event and the new trailers, we have just the right thing for you:

Fortnite can’t be played – when and for how long?

When and how long is the downtime? The downtime lasted until December 5th at 4 p.m. Until recently, since the live event at the end of the chapter, players have been staring at the murky sea in which a skin was floating on a tree trunk. The skin drifted around unconscious for hours until the servers were finally back.

When are the patch notes coming? Normally, Epic Games publishes little to no information about the update changes in Battle Royale mode. These are often found by the community itself.

However, if the update appears, we will prepare a separate article for it and link it here.

What new content does Chapter 3 Season 1 bring?

What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? We can’t be sure about the changes yet, but leaks and dataminers have proven to be a reliable source in the past. You can expect these changes:

New map

The dice queen rotated the entire old map by 180 ° without any problems. A new arena of struggle came about. This new island will most likely be the new Fortnite map for Chapter 3.

Environmental disasters – tornadoes, lightning and thunderstorms

Among other things, the trailer was also impressed by the realistic implementation of natural disasters such as tornadoes and thunderstorms. These could appear randomly to you in combat.
