After servers went down for a while, Fortnite is back and it has rolled out its latest update and patch notes.

If you’re a Fortnite fan don’t expect any major changes just yet, as Chapter 3 Season 4 isn’t due to launch until the end of the month.

However, there’s still time to finish the Battle Pass and enjoy Fire With Fire week, until the event burns out on Tuesday, September 13. 

The next few days will be all about fire, so it comes as no surprise that the Primal Bow and Dragon’s Breath Shotgun will make a brief return to the loot pool, alongside some fiery quests. 

Epic Games devs have also given a small tweak to the game’s voice settings with the option to choose between Everybody, Friends and Teammates, Friends Only, or Nobody. However, gamers under 18 years old will only have the Nobody option.  

Another small change to come with the patch update is the addition of a hold-to-purchase feature when buying cosmetics from the Item Shop. No more fear of spending your V-bucks savings on an ugly item by mistake.

Popular Fortnite dataminer iFireMonkey also revealed that one of the Play Your Way Quests has been updated and that players can now win the Back Board backpack if they unlocked it.

For now, it seems like Epic Games is focusing on sorting out some of this season’s common bugs, such as the health and shield bar not showing the correct values, or players getting spammed with Friend Accepted notifications. 

Some player animations issues, as well as a glitch affecting prop manipulator devices were also fixed. 

There were hopes that the latest patch update would reveal some sort of live event or exclusive content after the Gen Hoshino Soundwave Series music quest, but unfortunately that hasn’t happened. 

No need to worry though because you’ll be getting plenty of those in Season 4, along with another Marvel superhero skin and a Jiggle Jiggle emote, according to leaks.
