Technical problems or other delays could ensure that the maintenance work is extended.If this is the case, you will find out about us here on meinmmo.

When do the patch notes come?From experience of the last updates in Fortnite's new chapter, there should be no or only superficial patch notes for the Battle Royale mode.

However, if large, important changes are installed, we collect them for you and create a form of German patch notes.We will then publish these patch notes here on meinmmo for you.

What new content does the update 17 bring.30?

This is what Epic says: Before the server down, the Fortnite team tweeted about “A UFO in your hands” (via Twitter.com).It is about alien equipment that can interact with walls, cars, stones and even bushes.

What kind of item is that?One speculates that Epic speaks of the grave diatron with this announcement.Dataminer Hypex already showed the part on 22.July on his Twitter channel:

In the description of the grave titron you read that you can “grab things and throw it against other things”.In addition, you can use the edging button to turn your gripped objects.

We only see whether this is really this object when the servers are active again.

But the optics and the supernatural forces always fit to description “A UFO in your hands”.
