The Fortnite servers will enter an extended period of server maintenance later today, as Epic Games prepares to deploy the final content update of Chapter 3 Season 3, known as v21.51.As always with new Fortnite updates, there is expected to be plenty of new skins, changes, and bug fixes included in patch 3.67. Unfortunately, players will be unable to jump in for a few hours. If you're eager to find out the full details, check out the official server maintenance schedule and patch notes for today's Fortnite update below.
Fortnite Server Downtime Schedule For v21.51
As confirmed via the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, downtime for the upcoming update will begin at 1AM PT / 4AM ET / 9AM BST on Tuesday, September 7th, 2022.
Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the server maintenance, which means you won't be able to jump into a new game once disabled.
The developers did not specify exactly how long the downtime would last, but it is likely to last anywhere between 1 and 2 hours, based on previous Fortnite updates. This means servers will likely start to come back online at 3AM PT / 6AM ET / 11AM BST at the very latest.
Server maintenance is unlikely to be extended, but it's worth noting that downtime may last longer than usual if any issues arise behind the scenes.
Fortnite Update 3.67 Patch Notes
Below you will find the official patch notes for the latest Fortnite update, which was deployed on September 7, bringing the game to version 21.51:
Fire With Fire Week
Some fight fire with fire. Others just add fire to the fire. No matter which kind of person you are, set serenity to flame in Fire with Fire Week — happening from September 7 at 9 AM ET to September 13 at 9 AM ET!
In Fire with Fire Week, the Primal Flame Bow and Dragon’s Breath Shotgun will rise from the ashes. To coincide with these unvaults, Firefly Jars will be available at a red-hot rate. Want to put out the fun the fires? Fear not: Chug Cannons will be in increased supply too. Complete special Quests for XP while using Firefly Jars and Chug Cannons, and while rekindling old flames with the returning items.
You’ll be able to find Primal Flame Bows and Dragon’s Breath Shotguns from the ground and Chests. (Find Arrows from the ground and Ammo Boxes!) Firefly Jars will be findable from the ground and Chests as usual, but with higher availability. And you can spend Bars for Chug Cannons as before, but they’ll be findable from the ground and Chests also! When Fire with Fire Week starts, see the Quests in the "Fire with Fire Week" category on the Quests page.
