26.03.2024 - 13:01 / radiotimes.com

Another week, another Fortnite update. Like death and taxes (but a lot more fun), one of the certainties in life is that Epic Games is always tinkering away behind the scenes and adding new content to Fortnite.

Today, players have the Fortnite v29.10 update to pore over. And now that the Fortnite downtime is over, you should be able to drop into the iconic game and try it out for yourself.

With changes rolling out across the main battle royale game and LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Creative/UEFN, there is a whole load of new content for you to enjoy. Let's get into it!

The biggest changes in today's Fortnite update seem to have happened in LEGO Fortnite, with the addition of three new vehicles being dubbed 'the Mechanical Mayhem update'.

LEGO Fortnite players can now build the Speeder, the Offroader and the Hauler. You'll need a Power Center, Power Cells, Wheels, Seats and the relevant recipe to make them.

Meanwhile, in Rocket Racing, the changes seem fairly small, with the developers making changes to skydiving and making it easier to identify vehicles in a tight pack.

In Creative/UEFN, players can experiment with new weapons (Harbinger SMG and Chains of Hades) as well as new consumables (Banana of the Gods and Shield Bubble Junior).

And in Battle Royale, numerous balance adjustments have been made, including the fact that snipers are now dropping less frequently. More on the adjustments can be seen in the social post below.

With all of these experiences now existing in the Fortnite ecosystem, not to mention Fortnite Festival, it's getting gradually more complicated to keep up with all the different updates.

Handily, Epic has provided extensive patch notes across various different platforms to help you stay up to date. We'll link off to the official sources below.

Today's full patch notes for LEGO Fortnite can be found on the official Fortnite website.

As well as the three new vehicles, that blog post also explains Wrenches, Illuminators and lots of other new content that's landed today in the brick-based version of Fortnite.

For now, the only official patch notes for today's Fortnite Battle Royale update are the balance adjustments posted on the official X/Twitter account.

As well as making snipers more rare, the update has also increased the damage of the Drum Gun, the Huntress DMR and the Chain of Hades. And the max effective range has been lowered on the Frenzy Auto Shotgun.

If a bigger pile of Battle Royale patch notes are shared later today, we'll try our best to update this page in a timely fashion.
