UPDATE:

Downtime has ended for the v14.40 update.

Read about what's coming this week to Save the World in our most recent Homebase Status Report. Raven and Bloodfinder A.C. make their return October 23!

Thank you.

Commanders,

We've begun to disable services in preparation for v14.40. For those currently in a session, you can continue to play until downtime starts at approx. 4 AM ET (08:00 UTC).

As a reminder, the patch size will be larger than normal on PC (approx. 27 GB). This is to make optimizations on PC resulting in a massively reduced Fortnite file size (over 60 GB smaller), smaller downloads for future patches, and improved loading performance.

We’ll post an update for you here when downtime has ended and services are back up.

Hello Commanders!

Update v14.40 arises tomorrow, October 21. Downtime starts at approx. 04:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC).

Please note the patch size will be larger than normal on PC (approx. 27 GB). This is to make optimizations on PC resulting in a massively reduced Fortnite file size (over 60 GB smaller), smaller downloads for future patches, and improved loading performance.

Thank you.

This one has already been logged :)

Thanks for the detailed info. Going to have some of the QA team run some tests on Defenders and Ammo to try and get this to repro on our end.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tags! Sending this over.

Everything on this list is currently being investigating. The Weapon Perks / Bow Fire Rate / Mythic Storm King (Related to weapons not working) are all related.

The crash data is being dug into as we speak. Trello Cards have been added for tracking.

Someone shot this over to me on discord. I've got the team taking a look into this as we speak. Thanks for reporting this everyone.

Thank you for the heads up. This is a known bug already.

Thanks for the heads up. I've reported this over to the team to look in to. Not sure what happened here.

Have anyone else encountered this?

This is my friend's base (he doesn't have reddit). I hope The team see this and find a way to help him. Please upvote for visibility.

(I hope it's ok that i call out u/Magyst in this case for assistance. This is very serious)

Check your DMs please. Thanks!

u/magyst is probably getting payed thousands to check Reddit and bring the community together but he probably just plays on his Minecraft world the whole week and at the end he’s like oh shit I haven’t commented anything let me comment on 5 posts in one before before he goes back to breeding his Minecraft donkeys

But I don't play Minecraft... I could never get into it. I recently picked up Anno though and it's a ton of fun. I'm definitely on reddit a lot more than you guys think reporting issues to the team and escalating concerns.. Unfortunately, there's not always news to share. :(

Please let us know the status of the item shop u/magyst

Hello u/littlegreenakadende!

We mentioned back in April that the Item Shop was on hold indefinitely. Unfortunately, there is no new news to share outside of that. :(

This one has been resolved. Impacted players will have received a make good packet of materials as compensation.

Thank you for your patience everyone!

Thanks for the video, u/Infidel_sg. I've shared it with the team.

/u/CJLito thank you for the vid highlighting this. We're investigating now and recommend not using the built-in emote until this issue is resolved.

I've had this happen a few times, but thought the issue was resolved. Sharing feedback with folks on our team.
