There will be no downtime because this is only a content update, meaning that it will only contain new content and no fixes and/or in-game adjustments.
The regular v4.2 update was implemented on May 16th after an undisclosed issue delayed its release by a whole day.
The v4.2 content update is still set to be filled with exciting and new content as it is expected to launch the next Limited Time Mode that will apparently feature the new Jetpack.
The much-anticipated Jetpacks were announced by Fortnite to finally be on their way into the game after being delayed by over two months since being initially announced in March.
Furthermore, this content update will also most likely include the next batch of the weekly challenges that players who own the Battle Pass can complete for additional in-game XP.
