The Fortnite 2.09 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.10.1) have been shared by Epic Games. Though nowhere near as substantial as the previous latest Fortnite update, this new Fortnite patch adds some always-welcome fixes to stability issues. In even better news, this new update today doesn’t require any downtime maintenance period. However, to benefit from the new changes, players across all platforms — that’s PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iPhone — will need to finish their current match, or simply relaunch the game. If you’re curious about the official specifics, scroll on down for the short list of patch notes information.
Fortnite 2.09 Update Patch Notes (Fortnite 8.10.1)
As is usual with new Fortnite updates that are deployed outside of the content updates and significant overhaul patches, the Fortnite 2.09 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.10.1) are short and sweet, with the official Fortnite Twitter account merely detailing a fix for “stability issues.”
We just deployed a patch for fix some stability issues. No maintenance needed but you will need to download it after your match or the next time you launch your game.

Though this is much less exciting than a “proper” update with new features to check out in-game, it should still be appreciated, as Epic Games is adding further polish to the Fortnite gameplay experience, ensuring fewer occasions where players have their “Victory Royale!” dreams crushed by technical hiccups.
Of course, this update won’t cause much excitement for most players, as it contains changes that simply work in the background, with the specific purpose of going by unnoticed, keeping the game’s world from collapsing. Meanwhile, Fortnite players can enjoy their crazy new hamster ball vehicle without being subjected to awkward instabilities.
If you’re disappointed by the Fortnite 2.09 update patch notes, don’t worry, as there will likely be a new Fortnite update coming again next week, as is now very much tradition. Expect to hear more about that over the week, where Epic Games will likely tease a new feature via the “Coming Soon” tab viewable when you first boot up the game.
Rarest Fortnite Skins

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
