Wolverine as New Fortnite Boss
There is a new boss on the Fortnite Map and that someone is Marvel's Wolverine. Waiting deep in Weeping Woods. Just like the other bosses, he has a special superpower. Defeat him and get his mythical claws. But beware: other enemies will also be after his power.

Unofficial Leaks
Of course, some data miners immediately got to work and rummaged through the new Fortnite files. From experience, we can say that their leaks are mostly true. But let's take a closer look at the leaks.
Fortnite Daywalker
Put on your tinfoil hats! We have a Fortnite conspiracy about the next Marvel hero to join Fortnite. In the patch notes some letters were colored red. If you put them together, they spell the word "Daywalker". It is possible that this is a reference to Marvel's Blade, who is half human and half vampire, which gives him the ability to walk during the day. Maybe we'll see him soon either as a skin in the item store or on the Fortnite Map as a boss.

These were taken from the official Fortnite Trello board. It is possible that the bugs have not been fixed yet, but at least we know that Epic Games is working on it.
Battle Royale
- Heroes Park and the Ghost House do not count as discovered sites when they are discovered.
- Some PlayStation 4 players may not see recorded replays when they are displayed in the Career tab.
- On PC, setting "Effects" to "Low" may cause fishing spots to disappear.
Creative Mode
- The grass bends through first floor structures built on islands with grass.
- Some players do not receive items from a team-building and inventory device at the beginning of a round.
Save the world
- Redline Ramirez' Commander Perk does not apply his fire rate buff to loaded sniper rifles. This includes the Boom Bow.
Mobile
- Fishing spots can be inconsistent on the Nintendo Switch and Android, sometimes they disappear and then reappear.
