Fortnite 3.5.1 (1.55) Update Patch Notes Detail Big Batch of Bug Fixes

Now that Fortnite is back up and running, Epic Games has been able to issue a new game patch: the Fortnite 3.5.1 update (or the Fortnite 1.55 update, if you’re playing on consoles). Unlike the previous 3.5 update, which boasted a huge number of changes and improvements that many players had been anticipating, the 3.5.1 update is relatively boring, unless you’re big into bug fixes! Yep, the Fortnite 3.5.1 update is all about squashing those bugs, in both Battle Royale and Save the World.

Fortnite 3.5.1 and Fortnite 1.55 Update Patch Notes

Fortnite 3.5.1

Save the World Bug Fixes:

  • ‘Building Edit’ hotkey can be bound to keys other than ‘G’
  • We’re changing the Mini-Boss Mission Alerts for Canny and Twine back to their pre v3.5 state.
  • ‘Repair the Shelter’ objective now activates when you interact with the control panel rather than be based on proximity to the objective.
  • Granted all players two free Spring Llamas (can be found in the Loot tab).
    • We’ve changed the way we convert event tickets. Players get 1 event Llama per 1000 tickets and 1 Llama for any tickets left over.
      • (Example) If you have 5 tickets left at the end of the event, you still get 1 free event Llama.

Battle Royale Bug Fixes:

  • ‘Building Edit’ hotkey can be bound to keys other than ‘G’
  • Fixed an issue where players could fire weapons before the equip animation had finished, if they were sprinting.
  • Fixed several client crashes that were related to the new Replay System.
  • Fixed an issue that broke player’s walking/sprinting animations if they were firing a Guided Missile while walking/sprinting.

I told you that the Fortnite 3.5.1 update was all about bug fixes! For me, the most significant fix implemented by this patch is the fixing of crashing while using the new Replay System. Introduced with the 3.5 update, the Fortnite Replay System has added a whole other layer to my enjoyment of the game. Being able to rewatch matches, move the camera about the place and make my own little movies is brilliant. I’m sure we’re going to see some great machinimas and montages from the talented Fortnite community, now that the system is fixed!

Here’s hoping the Fortnite 3.5.1 patch keeps the game stable throughout the weekend. Following yesterday’s lengthy downtime period, during which Epic Games carried out some “emergency maintenance,” I imagine many players are worried that it will go down again.
