We’re Merging LEGO® Fortnite Expeditions with Odyssey by Bringing Hero Classes to Odyssey[]
On November 1 we’re merging LEGO® Fortnite Expeditions with Odyssey by bringing Hero Classes to Odyssey. This merger will focus the team’s development efforts on Odyssey and Brick Life.
While you finish up your Missions, Expedition’s Hero Classes come early to Odyssey on October 9 in the form of Hero Weapons and Ability Equipment. Craft these to use in your world.
Also in Odyssey on October 9, hunger won’t slow you down anymore so you can focus on fighting bad guys and building Villages. Food items will offer powerful buffs. And if you need a Health boost, make potions at the new Potions Cauldron Station.
As a thank you for training in Expeditions, you’ll receive the Mask Maker Decor Bundle as a gift on November 1.
Putting the OG back in OG Season 6[]
We’ve seen your feedback coming in towards the end of OG Season 5, and Season 6 fell a bit short of the classic Fortnite experience we all remember and have been excited to play again. Let’s talk about some things we’re doing:
These changes are now live in OG Season 6:[]
🌪️ Moving End Storms[]
We’re restoring storm values closer to the original Chapter 1 Season 6 experience. That means moving zones and tighter circles in the end game. Rotations should feel similar to 2018 again.
🔁 Nerfed Shotgun Swapping (AKA Double Pumping)[]
We’ve removed the ability to swap between shotguns without a cooldown. We kept shotgun swaps around longer to enable fun Double Pump gameplay, and are returning shotgun fights to feel authentic to the OG experience.
🔫 OG Weapon Balancing[]
- The Minigun has been unvaulted!
- We’ve also adjusted Pump Shotguns and Hand Cannons to match the OG feel.
- Chests were fixed yesterday and should no longer have a chance of missing weapons.
- Pistol bullet spread was fixed in yesterday’s patch.
🍎 Forageables Rebalanced[]
Apples and Mushrooms now restore 5 HP/Shield instead of 10.
🟥 Havoc Stones Rebalanced[]
We’ve reduced how much damage to structures you deal while under the Havoc Stone effect, and these should feel more fair now. We’ve also reduced the Havoc effect duration from 45 seconds to 30 seconds.
✈ Quadcrashers Unvaulted Next Week[]
We’re bringing back everyone’s favorite unintentional flying vehicle in next week’s 37.50 update
Some of the bugs we’re squashing in future updates:[]
🪲 Reducing the fog that’s reappeared on the Island after the recent change.🪲 POI inaccuracies will be fixed.
🪲 Fix incorrect audio effects.
🪲 Correcting the OG S6 Umbrella’s Locker name and description.
We’ll continue listening and adjusting. And we have more unvaults coming ;)
Keep letting us know what feels true to OG.
