Fortnite – 24.00 Patch Notes | Battle Pass XP Update

Introduction

Unveiling the Latest Fortnite Patch Notes: Wargames Intensify and Exciting Updates Await! Prepare yourselves, Fortnite enthusiasts, as the latest patch notes are here to amp up the excitement! Week 8 of Wargames, titled Meltdown, brings a critical situation to your Storm Shield. A growing radiation field impairs visibility and deals damage to players upon direct contact. It's a race against time as you navigate through the hazardous environment and protect your fort.

WARGAMES WEEK 8:MELTDOWN

Wargames’ Week 8 begins Thursday, March 15, 2023, at 8 PM ET. Your Storm Shield has gone critical and is emitting a growing radiation field. This radiation causes visibility issues and deals damage to players while in direct contact.

WARGAMES WEEK 9: DOUBLE TROUBLE

Week 9 of Wargames begins Thursday, March 22, 2023, at 8 PM ET. There are two indestructible Golden Smashers with cycling modifiers loose in your fort. If that doesn’t sound terrifying enough, their ill temperament switches between attacking Heroes and the fort.

HOMEBASE NAMING UPDATE

In the v24.00 update, we’ve removed Homebase names. We're now consistently using your Epic display name across the game instead.

BATTLE PASS XP UPDATE

In the v24.00 update we’ll be updating Battle Pass XP to the following:

• Quest XP has been reduced slightly.
• Mission XP (and the daily cap) have been increased.
  • Combined the XP rate will be similar.
• XP for Wargames Dailies was changed so that only the first daily quest you do rewards XP.

TIME FOR A CRAM SESSION

Level up and evolve your favorite items during the Cram Session mini-event:

• For the duration of the event, Mini-Boss Mission Alerts will drop additional XP, Evolution Material, RE-Perk, or Perk-UP rewards.
• Adding four series of Quests, each of which has ten stages that grant increasingly better one-time rewards upon completion. (Hero/Schematic/Survivor XP, Evolution Materials, PERK-UP!s, or Gold).
