Fortnite UPDATE 6.1 early patch notes: HUGE changes coming in time for Halloween

update 6.1 is coming soon, and early patch notes have been revealed by Epic Games.

Fortnite numbered updates are traditionally released on Tuesdays, so expect Fortnite update 6.1 to launch on October 9. 

Because it’s a numbered update, fans can expect Fortnite servers to go offline at around 9am UK time.

The PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and iOS update will make one or two fixes that were absent from last week’s content patch.

This includes a fix for a problem in which an unrendered Starter Island appears during the loading screen.

vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.

Epic explains more on Trello: “While loading in, players may notice an unrendered version of the Starter Island appear for a short time, then be replaced with the loading screen again until the map fully renders.”

Fortunately for fans, the issue will be fixed in the next release.

Elsewhere, Epic has eliminated instances of the floating island appearing in the wrong location on the mini-map.

This will also be included in the next Fortnite update on PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS and Nintendo Switch.

Audio for player eliminations being the same audio used for rotating structures has also been fixed.

Fortnite fans can also expect a new weapon or item, not to mention some kind of map change.
