Fortnite’s 5.10 update doesn’t appear to have actually done anything

None of the content in the patch notes is appearing in-game.

Players were excited to jump into Fortnite today to try out the new Fly Explosives LTM and the returning Guided Missile—but it appears the 5.10 update didn’t actually do anything.

Despite the 3am CT update time and official patch notes from developer Epic Games, players have noticed none of the advertised content was added to the game. No Guided Missile, Fly Explosives, Playground Crossbow. Slurp Juice hasn’t been fixed either.

Datamining Twitter account @FNBRLeaks even pointed out that nothing had been added to the game files themselves, so there were no cosmetics for them to post either.

While it is surely a mistake and will likely see a quick resolution, it’s an odd slip-up. It’s the first time something like this has happened, and Fortnite‘s weekly content updates usually go through without much of a hitch. As of now, Epic Games has not commented on the issues players are experiencing.


Update July 31 3:58am CT: Epic community manager Stacey Conley has said in the official Fortnite Discord the developers are aware and working on a resolution, saying a fix should arrive in a “short while.” The error was confirmed on Twitter by the official Fortnite account.
