Epic is changing Fortnite’s patch cadence, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be anything new to look forward to this week.
Going forward, Fortnite will receive content updates every other week, as opposed to weekly patches. This alternating release schedule means players will only have to download one patch every two weeks, and still get new content every week.
Patch 3.4 was released last week. This week, we have the 3.4 content update, available now on all platforms with no need for a download.
The biggest new addition is the Vending Machines, which were teased earlier this week through the in-game message. What Vending Machines do is simple: they allow you to use the materials you gathered as a form of currency to buy loot.
There are several of them scattered around the map, and they offer three different deals. The items and their rarities are chosen at random.
The High Explosives game mode returns this week with High Explosives v2. This new version works the same way as the original, meaning only explosives will be available as weapons, only this time there’s more toys in the form of the Remote Explosive and the Guided Missile.
The Easter Egg Launcher, added last week, has made its way to the Save the World PvE mode. Check out all the patch notes below.
Vending Machines will cycle through each of the three items on a short timer. To switch items faster, hit the Vending Machine with your Pickaxe.
Common (white) version will cost 100 materials.
Uncommon (green) version will cost 200 materials.
Rare (blue) version will cost 300 materials.
Epic (purple) version will cost 400 materials.
Legendary (gold) version will cost 500 materials.
