Fortnite was supposed to get updates two Tuesdays in a row. However, due to unexpected delays, that was not the case either week. Patch v37.20 was delayed by a day and only went live on Wednesday, September 10. Now, patch v37.20, which was initially scheduled for September 16, was pushed back two days and will only go live on September 18.

While gamers had to wait more than they would've liked to, the time has finally come, and update v37.30 is nearly here. This means that fans will finally be able to unlock Megazord and try out the Power Rangers's Blade Blaster in Fortnite. This guide will tell players what they need to know about the downtime for update v37.30, so they know when servers will shut down and when they will come back up.

When Does Downtime Start in Fortnite? (Patch v37.30)

Epic Games has confirmed the start of downtime for v37.30, so gamers can prepare themselves and avoid being booted off once servers go down.

Servers will shut down for update v37.30 at 4 AM ET. As always, matchmaking should be disabled 30 minutes before downtime, so gamers have enough time to complete a Battle Royale match if they start one late into the night.

When Will Servers Come Back Up?

This patch should be bigger compared to the one that was released last week, as it is expected to bring more content to Fortnite. Since servers will go down at 4 AM ET, maintenance time should last about 3 hours, which means they can expect to be able to log back into Fortnite at around 7 AM ET. Players can check out the Epic Games Public Status Page for live information on server status.

Players can expect the following content from this Fortnite update:

  • Week 6 Quests (Battle Royale)
  • Party Crashers LTM & Quests
  • Blade Blaster Power Rangers weapon (Battle Royale)
  • Megazord cosmetics and transformation
  • Birthday Quests
  • Batmobile car skin
  • Fortnitemares leaks
  • Sonic leaks
