*Fortnite update 6.30 PATCH NOTES: Mounted Turrets, Food Fight LTM, Glider redeploy*
ORIGINAL: Fortnite is down for maintenance, as Epic Games releases update 6.30 on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS and Android.
The news was announced on Twitter, alongside plans to take Battle Royale servers offline from 10am UK time.
“Prepare for a Fortnite face-off as the v6.30 update arrives!” reads an Epic Games tweet. “Downtime begins Wednesday, November 14 at 5 AM ET (1000 UTC).”
If it’s anything like past Fortnite updates, then Fortnite servers will be offline for approximately 2 hours from 10am GMT.
And while no official end time has been announced, expect servers to come back online at midday today.
While the servers are down, Fortnite fans can download the latest Battle Royale update.
According to the patch notes, version 6.30 introduces the Mounted Turret Gun.
The description suggests that players will be able to place the turret wherever they please.
“Place the Mounted Turret and hop in to apply some suppressive fire! Careful not to overheat,” reads an Epic post.
Another new feature that’s been confirmed for the next update is mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One.
Xbox One mouse and keyboard support was announced during the recent XO18 event.
Microsoft’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb told fans that the new feature would be added to Fortnite later this week.
“Fourteen titles have announced they plan to have Xbox keyboard+mouse support including @FortniteGame, landing later this week,” he said.
Elsewhere, Epic Games has told fans to expect fixes for audio and emote issues.
This includes a fix for the Downer Pickaxe and characters not emoting in the lobby.
