Fortnite downtime April 19: When will the servers be back up?

The second significant update for Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 3 will be released soon. The upgrade in question, version 20.20, will take place after a brief outage. The downtime is scheduled to begin at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 19, 2022, according to official information. Loopers should log out of the game and stop their session at least an hour before the downtime begins, as is customary. Because servers will be shut down at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time, there's a chance you'll get kicked out of the game and lose your progress.

How long will the Fortnite downtime last today (April 19)?

It's tough to predict how long the Fortnite outage will persist, as it always is. Despite the fact that the official downtime will only last a few hours, Loopers will be able to play as soon as the update is released on their individual platforms. Regardless, the official start time should be about 7:00 a.m. Eastern. Keep in mind, though, that depending on the type of material being added to the game, things may take longer.

Chapter 3 Season 2 has new content updates for the Fortnite 20.20 update.

1) More POI under the control of The Resistance

The developers, like last time, have been tight-lipped about adding additional material to the game. Epic Games' only official knowledge is that the island's fighting lines will move. However, most readers are well aware that The Seven will conduct counter-offensives and push the Imagined Order back. The IO will be left with their mountain stronghold and Loot Lake by week six. As a result, a new offensive is expected to begin this week, and another IO Airship will shortly crash and burn.

2) Creative update

While there isn't much going on on the main island, the Creative community will be getting some new gadgets to play with. Tank Spawners, Artillery Cannons, and Explosives will be among them. Hopefully, these technologies will enable the creative community to design more engaging maps and scenarios. Loopers may expect these to become live as soon as the 20.20 update is released.

3) CZN Burak emote

Celebrity chef CZN Burak will have his own emote in Fortnite called "How Sweet" after conquering hearts on social media and the stomachs of gastronomists. Burak's trademark facial expressions will be used in the emote in question. The emote will be available in the item shop on April 19 once the rotation occurs at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, according to leaker iFireMonkey. It will most likely fall under the Icon Series label because it is based on a real-life individual.

4) Fixes for minor bugs

The Fortnite 20.20 update, unlike the previous major update, will just include a few bug patches. Here's the rundown:

• If the "Toggle Sprint" option is turned off, you won't be able to slide after sprinting.
• When you leave a boat while boosting on land, the controllers may vibrate.
• Creative Accolades

Aside from that, players should expect a couple hotfixes later this week. Other small faults and malfunctions that remained after the upgrade or were introduced as a result of the update will most likely be addressed.
