Around 3 am Eastern Time, Fortnite update v24.20 is expected to start. Given that the update is often sent about 4 am Eastern Time, this is pretty rare. Nonetheless, it appears that there is a cause. The update size would be more than normal, according to a formal tweet.
The servers will undoubtedly go down sooner as a result of the hour-earlier downtime. To prevent losing progress in the Battle Royale and Save The World modes, players should think about closing their games before 2:15 am Eastern Time.
How long will today’s (April 11) Fortnite outage last?
Prepare your ODM Gear and propel yourself into 24.20 with downtime beginning at 3 AM ET and matchmaking disabled shortly beforehand.

Because the size of the Fortnite update v24.20 is higher than normal, the outage can be prolonged. Due to the greater patch size for this update, the complete procedure might take up to four hours instead of the usual two to three. Nonetheless, Eastern Time Zone gamers shouldn’t have a problem with this.
It should be close to 7 am Eastern Time when the servers resume operation after the downtime. Most gamers won’t be able to test out the update’s features until later in the day because it’s a workday. But, as soon as the servers become online, users in Asia will be able to access the update v24.20’s content.

At the very least, Epic Games has stated that after the outage, the ODM Gear from Attack on Titan would be introduced to the game. This new Mythic item will function just as it does in the anime/manga, according to the teasers that have been released thus far.
Gamers may move quickly throughout the area and utilise the blades to slice or hack at nearby enemies. How the Kinetic Blade performs against this new Mythic will be fascinating to watch. It will be much more fascinating to see players counter attack with one of these two in-game goods.
Together with the ODM gear, Mikasa & Levi Ackerman Skins & Outfits will be introduced to the Item Store, and Eren Jaeger will be available for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass holders. Who or what else will participate in the Attack on Titan partnership is unknown at this time.

Speaking of partnerships, a fresh one starring Coachella ought to become available in-game as soon as the pause is over. It’s also possible that the Hiss Clique Quest Pack will be introduced to the Item Store. Keep in mind that V-Bucks cannot be used to purchase this bundle as it costs actual money.
Moreover, the Smart Pistol and New Reality Augments could be included. Since the Reality Augment System has gained so much popularity, new ones are nearly a given after each upgrade. While the Smart Pistol is included in the game’s files, it is unknown if it will be added to the Chapter 4 Season 2 prize pool at this time.

Last but not least, the Fortnite update v24.20 will solve a few issues and malfunctions. Even if they are small issues, getting rid of them from the game would raise everyone’s standard of living.
