Fortnite Downtime: When Will Fortnite Servers Be Back Up For Chapter 6 Season 2?
Fortnite is offline right now, but fortunately it’s not because anything is wrong. Quite the opposite, in fact–Fortnite is down because of routine scheduled maintenance that Epic does with every update. In this case, the update is a big one: the launch of Fortnite battle royale Chapter 6 Season 2, featuring major changes to the island, piles of new weapons and gadgets, and the arrival of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat. [Update: Servers are back online, and the new season has begun. You can see everything new in Fortnite Season 2 in our roundup, as well as all the new weapons, map changes, and what’s in the battle pass.]
Chapter 6 got off to quite a bang during Season 1, as Fortnite introduced the permanent OG mode with its own separate battle pass, and also the Counter-Strike-esque Ballistic mode. In January, the season ramped up once more with the addition of the player-controlled Godzilla boss and the arrival of Hatsune Miku in Festival. But all things must come to an end–we had our fun with the ridiculous Typhoon Blade, but now it’s time to move on to less civilized weapons, like the big drill weapon we saw in the trailer.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 start time
When the servers come back up, it’ll be Lawless season, which is all about committing armed robbery. That’s right, it’s Fortnite’s fourth heist-themed season. But where the past seasons like this had more of a classy bent, Lawless season is going to be more in the vein of Grand Theft Auto–mayhem is the name of the game here.
Since we’re already in downtime, the wait shouldn’t be too long. Fortnite went offline at 2 AM ET/11 PM PT, and season updates typically take somewhere in the ballpark of 4-7 hours. If all goes well, you could be fragging away in Crime City by 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. But don’t take that as a given–when Chapter 5 Season 2 launched a year ago, something went wrong, and Fortnite stayed offline until the evening. But that was a very unusual case. Most seasons launch between 4 AM – 7 AM PT / 7 AM – 10 AM ET.
Every new battle royale season dramatically changes the gameplay meta, and Season 2 will not be an exception. This crime-fueled season will add a new urban location, Crime City, as well as a bundle of new tools, like timed explosives, sticky grenades, and a rocket drill, that will help you steal gold and whatever else you can find.
