Fortnite Battle Royale fans are counting down to the release of update 17.30.
After taking a short break at the start of summer, Epic Games is back with a bang, releasing update after update on consoles, PC and mobile.
The new update will launch alongside a period of server downtime on the morning of August 3.
The servers will begin to be taken offline at 6.30am BST UK time. The game will go offline in full at 7am.
While there’s no official end time for the server maintenance, fans can expect the game to come back online by 10am BST at the latest.
According to an Epic teaser on Twitter, the new update will introduce the GRABI-TRON weapon.
“Get ready to grab the new update we’re pushing,” reads an Epic tweet. “Fortnite v17.30 is scheduled to release on August 3. In preparation for the update, services will be disabled starting at approx. 01:30 AM ET (05:30 UTC).”
In addition to the GRABI-TRON weapon, Epic will lay the foundations for the Ariana Grande concert, as well as the UFO abduction event.
