The fortnightly patch schedule will alternate with the new Content Updates , confirmed a PR spokesperson, and won't affect the weekly content for the game. Players will still get new features every week without the need for an update."Starting this week, we are doing things a little differently. Every other week we will drop new content without the need for an update," Epic explained . "These will be called Content Updates. This new cadence allows us to iron out more complex bugs, while continuing to provide fun content every week." Patch 3.4 released last week , so this week is the first of the Content Updates. Battle Royale will be getting vending machines that let you exchange materials for loot, and will also see the return of the High Explosives mode. Meanwhile, the Easter Egg launcher is coming to its PvE Save the World mode.There was a PlayStation 4 update earlier today designed to fix crashes and freezes affecting PS4 players, but it caught the devs off guard when players reported that the patch was weighing in at 10GB . Epic Games has apologised for the inconvenience and is looking into the issue.Some players also asked for the sporadic controller vibration issue to be fixed, but others are convinced that the vibrations are a part of the Meteor Easter egg, with players theorising that they're actually Morse code signaling the impending destruction of Tilted Towers You can keep up with everything we know about Fortnite's mysterious meteor right here , and check out our updated review of Fortnite Battle Royale here
