Fortnite v14.10 patch notes: Iron Man POI, ‘Become a Hero’

Fortnite developers Epic Games have confirmed Chapter 2 Season 4’s 14.10 patch is now on its way ⁠— a little later than everyone expected. Here are the patch notes, details, and more for the September 10 v14.10 update.

The battle royale island has been taken over by superheroes in Season 4, and now the Marvel theme continues with what can basically be dubbed “Issue 2” in the big comic book crossover.

When is the Fortnite v14.10 patch coming?

Epic Games has officially locked in the v14.10 update for Thursday, September 10. Downtime will begin at 4am ET (8am UTC, 9am BST, 6pm AEST).

The “create-your-own-hero” will let you design your own superhero to fit right into the Marvel crossover, and fight alongside Iron Man, Wolverine, and more.

New locations: Stark Industries, Battle Bus chop shop

The new Marvel point of interest has arrived in v14.10.

“Tony Stark’s temporal beacon brings Stark Industries to the Island. Explore the Research & Development Lab, and Battle Bus chop shop. Explore this esteemed complex to gather loot and maybe even meet a Hero (or Villain)…” the developers wrote in the v14.10 patch notes.

Here’s a look at the new map after the update, with the new POI.

Mint-Condition LTM

A Limited-Time Mode, called “Mint-Condition,” will also be coming during the Stark Industries update. This “comic-book crossover” mode will allow players to “mix and match iconic hero powers” in another Marvel-themed LTM.

Galactus Drones

Drawing nearer to the Island, Galactus now has his own enemy Drones roaming the battlefield. These Gatherer Drones are designed for collecting loot, but they’re also loot themselves: upon defeat, they’ll deactivate and turn into their weapon form. Deactivated Gatherers are highly unstable, so they’ll explode if you don’t pick them up quickly!

Marvel Knockout

The Nexus War intensifies in the Stark Industries Update, introducing a new mode to showcase your abilities. Join other players in the upcoming Marvel Knockout, a spin on Operation: Knockout that sees your team utilize super powers to be the best team on the tournament bracket.
