Hold onto your hats, folks! The first major update (v42.10) to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 is live, bringing a whirlwind of changes that are sure to shake up the island. Download the patch, fire up the Battle Bus, and prepare for a whole new level of chaotic fun.

Sprite Mania and Unvaulted Weapons!

This update isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about empowering players with exciting new tools. Get ready to wield iconic weapons from across gaming history, including Overwatch’s Caduceus Staff, Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion’s Combat Kit, the Wrecker Revolver, Deadeye Assault Rifle, and the Holo Twister Assault Rifle. These loot hacks are unlocked using Sprite Dust, adding a new layer of progression to your battles.

LEGO Batman Takes Over Fortnite Odyssey!

This isn’t just limited to the Battle Royale mode. Fortnite OG boasts a brand-new Battle Pass inspired by Chapter 1 Season X, and LEGO Fortnite Odyssey players are getting a ton of LEGO Batman goodness.

The journal has been updated with new missions centered around helping the Dark Knight recover stolen parts of Gotham City hidden throughout the LEGO Fortnite Odyssey island. Players will have access to a collection of bat-gear, including the iconic Batmobile, making the task significantly easier. Follow the Bat Signal to locate Gotham City locations and take down henchmen to aid Batman in his quest.

This event runs until October 15th, after which players will have the opportunity to recruit LEGO Batman as a villager. While this means the next LEGO Fortnite Pass won’t be Batman-themed (it’s been extended until October 31st), don’t despair! The Batman Caped Crusader pack is scheduled to return on September 17th, offering players a chance to snag thematic cosmetics for the event.
