ORIGINAL: Fortnite update 5.2 is about to be released by Epic Games.

The next major Fortnite update is tipped to launch on Tuesday, August 7.

And unlike last week's smaller content update, this week's patch should require some server downtime.

If it's anything like previous Fortnite updates, expect the servers to be taken offline at around 9am BST.

Numbered updates typically coincide with outages lasting upwards of 2-hours. Expect an official announcement soon.

In the meantime, fans have discovered alleged new features, skins and items leaked as part of early Android patch notes.

According to game files datamined by XDA Developers, new Fortnite skins could include a special Durr Burger hero, male and female exercise models from the 1980s and even a sushi chef.

Over the course of the next few weeks, it looks like Epic is also planning to release a new cage trap, consumables called Prickly Pears and a handful of limited time modes (LTMs).

This is said to include a Wild West mode where modern technology is removed, as well as a tactical mode in which building supplies are limited.

In terms of fixes, Fortnite Trello patch notes confirm that PC voice chat problems will be a thing of the past after the next update.

Players will also be praying for the return of ATKs and Shopping Carts, which are essential for completing the Week 4 challenges.
