Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 “Lawless” has turned the battle royale into a heist simulator where players are robbing banks, hijacking armored vehicles, and raiding trains faster than you can say “hands up!” But keeping track of when Epic Games plans to drop new content can feel like trying to predict where the storm circle will close.
Whether you’re grinding for that new Outlaw Midas skin or just trying to figure out when your favorite weapons might get vaulted, knowing the update schedule is crucial. After all, nothing’s worse than logging in for your nightly gaming session only to stare at a download bar for two hours.
Upcoming Fortnite Update Release Date
The next major Fortnite update is scheduled to drop tomorrow, March 11, 2025. Update v34.10 will be the first significant patch since the season launched on February 21, bringing fresh content to shake up the meta that’s been dominated by vault heists and gold-infused shenanigans.
As with most substantial updates, expect server downtime to begin around 4 AM EST / 1 AM PST, with servers typically remaining offline for approximately 3-4 hours. This means East Coast players waking up for an early morning session might find themselves staring at a maintenance screen instead of dropping into Crime City.
The timing couldn’t be better, as many players have started to master the current loot pool. The Collateral Damage Assault Rifle and Falcon Eye Sniper have become staples, but tomorrow’s update promises to introduce the much-anticipated Pump & Dump dual-wield weapon—a shotgun-SMG combo that sounds absolutely broken in the best possible way.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN TUESDAY’S UPDATE 🔥
– New Invincible Collaboration
– Outlaw Midas unlockable
– Battle Pass Super Styles
– New LEGO Pass + Gameplay Update
– New Rocket Drill Item
– Pump & Dump Gun will be added
– Outlaw Shotgun gets fully added
– *MAYBE* New Rocket Jump… pic.twitter.com/wHw8vF3b4p— Shiina (@ShiinaBR) March 9, 2025
If you’ve been struggling with the current vault-busting tools, the upcoming Rocket Drill should provide a welcome alternative to Thermite. Just don’t expect it to be any quieter—subtlety isn’t exactly Fortnite’s strong suit this season.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Update Schedule
For players looking to plan their gaming calendar around upcoming content drops, here’s the complete update schedule for the remainder of Chapter 6 Season 2:
| Update Version | Expected Release Date |
|---|---|
| v34.10 | March 11, 2025 |
| v34.20 | March 22, 2025 |
| v34.21 | April 1 or April 8, 2025 |
| v34.30 | April 22, 2025 |
| v35.00 (Season 3) | May 2, 2025 |
This update cadence is notably more aggressive than previous seasons, with Epic Games pushing out content at a breakneck pace. The mysterious v34.21 update is particularly intriguing, as it’s sandwiched unusually close to v34.20.

This has fueled speculation about a potential mid-season collaboration or mini Battle Pass—something Epic has experimented with in previous seasons.
The final major update before Season 3 will likely drop in mid-April, giving players a couple of weeks to enjoy the season’s ultimate form before the inevitable reset on May 2. If you’re still grinding Battle Pass levels then, that’s your deadline to unlock Outlaw Midas and all those crime-themed cosmetics.
