Since Fortnite: Save the World’s launch, we have envisioned a way for players to take steps to customize their items to suit their playstyle. It’s here and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Introducing the Perk Recombobulator!

In patch v4.2, we’re introducing a way for you to choose and upgrade the perk loadout for your favorite weapons and traps!

Unlocking the Perk Recombobulator
The Perk Recombobulator is unlocked when you complete Plankerton Storm Shield Defense 2. At that point, a sequence of two side-quests will become available that, upon completion, reward you with a large number of brand new resources to use in the Perk Recombobulator. Be sure to complete these quests to get a head-start with your item customization!

To access the Perk Recombobulator, visit the item upgrade screen, and navigate to the new ‘Modify Perks’ option.

We know many millions of you were excited about dropping from the Battle Bus with your friends, and it was a long time to wait to check out our 3.5 release. We sincerely apologize for the downtime.

We’re sharing more technical details in this post to give you a better understanding about what went wrong, what we did to fix it, and how we can prevent future issues like this from happening again.

Overview

Heya folks,

It’s been no secret that over the past 24 hours we’ve been experiencing issues with our services that have prevented many of you from playing Battle Royale and Save the World. We’re sorry. We know how frustrating this has been.

We messed up here. As thanks for being awesome and patient, we’re doing the following:

• For Battle Royale players, this weekend we’ll be offering a Back Bling gift that you can pick up in the store for free.
• For our Save the World folks, this weekend we will be offering a Troll Stash Llama in the loot tab for free.

Next week, we will be granting a pack of Battle Stars to our Battle Royale players and Seasonal Gold to the Save the World players. This will require brief additional downtime, so we will be including it as a part of our planned update next week.

In the v3.5 update we are expanding the Arid tileset by introducing Thunder Route 99! This new area will be the stage for the upcoming Survive the Storm event, with a brand new layout, and gorgeous visuals set in ablazing hot desert. 



Thunder Route 99 is a lost highway, where before the storm, travellers would stop along their way for food, gas, entertainment, or refreshments before continuing on their way. Today, it is a wasteland of forgotten vacations and afternoon drives.  As you venture off of the road, campsites, old run down refineries, and mines scatter the landscape, in addition to a few unfortunate vehicles that could not make it back to the road. The landscape is perilous, watch out for snakes!

Hey Fortnite Community,

We’re happy to announce today that in partnership with our friends at Microsoft, Fortnite will feature cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-purchase, between Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS and (in the next few months) Android.

Contrary to what may have been implied, Microsoft has long been a leading voice in supporting cross-platform play, connecting players across PC, mobile and all consoles.
