Fortnite is getting a big new update this week, as Epic Games brings version 29.10 to PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Android. Fortnite update 29.10 has been given a March 26 release date and an 8am GMT launch time. However, while the update will be available to download at 8am UK time, you’ll have to wait for server downtime to come to an end before checking out all the new features, fixes and gameplay tweaks. Considering the size of the update, fans should expect the game to remain offline until around 11am GMT. It’s a particularly significant update for LEGO Fortnite, which will benefit from the addition of vehicle building. Indeed, the update is being dubbed Mechanical Mayhem for that very reason. LEGO Fortnite fans will be able to build three different vehicle types for the sake of exploration.
This includes the Speeder, which is described as the ideal vehicle for “zipping from biome to biome”. In order to unlock the recipe for the Speeder, players must add the newly released Power Cell to their inventory.
Elsewhere, the Offroader will give players the ability to ferry multiple passengers across the map. The Offroader recipe is available once Flexwood is added to your inventory.
Finally, the Hauler can be used to transport heavy objects, but only after you add Frostpine to your inventory.
Elsewhere, update 29.10 will reportedly add Guardians of the Galaxy character Drax to the game’s roster, while God of War protagonist Kratos is also said to be returning to the item shop after a long absence.
Fans can also expect another Fortnite x NIKE crossover, as well as the ability to unlock the Korra Battle Pass skin, complete with a selection of new quests.
According to Fortnite insider Hypex, Midas’ Mythic Drum Gun should be available, alongside the Golden Banana item.
