Attention Island Defenders!

Downtime for v17.50 has ended. High Tech Hijinks are on the horizon, and the Alien’s Mothership is preparing for its next target. Read about these things and more in our v17.50 blog post!

Here’s a summary of what’s new:

  • Wild Week #3 of the Invasion: High Tech Hijinks - Starting this Thursday at 10 AM ET, Alien and IO tech will be more common than ever. Abductors will ONLY carry the Kymera Ray Gun, Grab-itron, Prop-ifier, and Alien Nanites. Likewise, IO Chests will ONLY give the Pulse Rifle, Rail Gun, Plasma Cannon, and Inflate-A-Bull. To boot, normal Chests will carry Alien and IO tech it didn’t before!
  • Discover Games in a New Way! - If you’ve already opened the game after v17.50’s release, you probably noticed the playlist menu looks a lot different! With v17.50, we launched a new and improved way to discover games and experiences in Fortnite. It’s never been easier to find new favorites.
  • Mothership on the Move… - Slurpy Swamp’s been abducted, Coral Castle’s been abducted, and soon the Mothership will be moving to its third target. The next POI abduction of the Invasion awaits…

Also: FNCS Finals are coming up hot this weekend. Watch the action on Twitch with a new week of Twitch Drops! For the exact dates and times of the FNCS Finals, check out the calendar on our competitive homepage. And for the exact times of the broadcast, check out our blog.

Thank you. ⛏
