Fortnite update 3.79 is now out on all platforms, and this is for the v23.30 title update! Players can expect another crossover content with Dragon Ball alongside fixes and more! Same as always, you can check out the Fortnite January 31 patch notes and datamined content below.
Fortnite Update 3.79 | Fortnite January 31 Patch Notes:
Just as you’ve been powering yourself up with Reality Augments in Battle Royale, power yourself up with the return of Fortnite x Dragon Ball. In the v23.30 update, Son Gohan and Piccolo from the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie make their Fortnite debut, the Kamehameha attack item and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun) mobility item are out of the vault, and Dragon Ball Adventure Island is back!
GO BEYOND ONCE AGAIN IN BATTLE ROYALE
Throughout each match in Battle Royale/Zero Build, the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun) items will fall from the sky in capsules. Launch a devastating energy beam with the Kamehameha, and with the Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun), take flight around the Island! The frequency of capsules will increase as the Storm closes in, meaning the end of each match will be primetime for an epic showdown.
These two items will remain in Battle Royale/Zero Build until v23.40.
BEYOND BATTLE ROYALE: DRAGON BALL ADVENTURE ISLAND RETURNS
The adventure continues!
Back in Fortnite starting now, go on a Dragon Ball collecting adventure in Dragon Ball Adventure Island. Made by creator team Vysena Studios, this island features sites inspired by iconic locations from Dragon Ball — visit Goku’s House, Kami’s Palace, the Room of Spirit & Time, and Beerus’ Planet! At any time during your adventure, test your power in Tenkaichi Budokai, the open PvP battle arena.
Starting January 31 at 9 AM ET, complete a Dragon Ball-themed Weekly Quest on this island to unlock the Gohan Beast Spray. And starting 9 AM ET on February 7, complete another Dragon Ball-themed Weekly Quest to unlock the Orange Piccolo Spray! Dragon Ball Adventure Island can be accessed from either the Discover screen or island code 5642-8525-5429.

The v23.30 update in Save the World brings the second and third week of Wargames, an update to when several questlines change, and a reloading change. Also, certain Heroes become available once again!
WARGAMES WEEK 2: MIST PODS
Week 2 begins Thursday, February 2, 2023! Peas are in the pod and bosses are in the base. Take down the Mist Pods quickly or else tougher enemies will emerge!
WARGAMES WEEK 3: SPACE ROCKS
Week 3 starts Thursday, February 9! It’s all coming down in this Wargames simulation — defend your fort while massive meteorites pour in.
QUEST CHANGES
With the start of the Mild Meadows Venture Season, we’ll be adjusting the end dates of questlines available during the Season. We’re making this adjustment because having too many narrative quests running simultaneously can make it hard to follow the stories, especially for new and returning players who join late in a season. The following questlines have had their end date changed, or have been moved from the Season.
- The Blockbuster questline remains unchanged and will last the entire Season (to April 5, 2023).
- The No Dancing questline has been shortened to four weeks and will run from February 9 to March 8, 2023.
- The Valor questine will run for four weeks, from March 9 to April 5, 2023.
- The Brawl of the Wild questline has been moved from this Venture Season and will return in the next Venture Season.
NO DANCING QUESTLINE
Get ready for Love Defense 101.
The dreaded Love Storm has returned and according to our most trusted Major, this is an extremely dangerous threat! Stop this lovely phenomenon from hitting Homebase to have the “premiere matchmaker” Stoneheart Farrah join your squad after completing the questline.
“It’s time to harden your hearts” – Stoneheart Farrah
STONEHEART FARRAH
- Standard Perk: Cupid’s Arrow
- Arrows splinter on Bow hit, dealing 20% damage to 3 nearby targets.
- Commander Perk: Cupid’s Arrow+
- Arrows splinter on Bow hit, dealing 60% damage to 5 nearby targets.
HEROES RETURN
The Heroes Razor and Kurohomura are available again! They can be earned via the Arcade Cabinet quests. If you’ve already completed these quests but don’t have the heroes, you’ll receive them in a gift box in-game. They can also be recruited from the Collection Book.
NEW RELOADING GAMEPLAY CHANGES
Most ranged weapons in Save the World can now be reloaded while you’re aiming down sights, making it easier to keep a bead on your target as you’re reloading. Weapons with a zoom scope are the exception – those will retain the old behavior and pull out to the regular third-person view while reloading.

BUG FIXES
A number of important bug fixes were included in the v23.30 game update, including:
- Fixed a variety of terrain issues in the Autumn Foothills Biome.
- This includes locations that would potentially eliminate the character, certain objectives being partially in terrain, tracks being unplaceable for Deliver the Bomb missions.
- Fixed an issue where the player would be unable to hear footsteps.
- Fixed an issue where players could accidentally mount and ride wildlife while hoverboading.
The Fortnite v23.30 update introduces Over-Budget Editing, the Crowd Volume device, the Hiding Props Gallery, and the Big Bush Bomb from Battle Royale.
v23.30 also contains new command options for hired guards in the Guard Spawner, the addition of Sky Jellies to the Wildlife Spawner, and the new Cyber City Prefabs and Galleries, Video Player Screen Gallery, Reactive Trim Gallery, and Background Equalizer Buildings and Background Equalizer Skyscraper Galleries.
OVER-BUDGET EDITING
Memory management is a big concern to creators, so we want to make it easier. The total memory limit for published islands is still 100K – but when you are in Create mode on your islands, you can now place and move props normally up to 115K total memory. This will make it easier for you to manage memory fluctuations, and prevent situations where you are unable to place or move objects on your island because you have exceeded the 100K memory limit.
Keep in mind that the new 115K memory limit is only for when you are in Create mode, and is a hard limit. If you exceed 115K memory, you will be blocked from placing and moving objects again. The additional memory is meant to give you freedom to adjust your island so the memory used is within the 100K limit before you publish your island.
CROWD VOLUME
The Crowd Volume is a device that spawns a group of cheering NPCs. Populate the stands for races, concerts, or any other experience where you need an audience. You can determine the density of the crowd, the size of the volume, and how randomly the NPCs are distributed in the space.
HIDING PROPS GALLERY
The Hiding Props Gallery gives you three different props that players can hide in: a Dumpster, a Haystack, and a Portapotty. You can use these to create a new kind of Hide-and-Seek game that is different from a Prop Hunt. Because you can customize which teams and classes can use a particular hiding prop, you can create new game modes focused around those elements.
You can also customize the props so that more than one player can hide in one, and determine whether the prop has sound effects and a wobbling animation when it is occupied. You can even set time limits on how long a player can hide before being ejected from the hiding place, or have other devices signal the hiding prop to eject players based on events or triggers.
GUARD SPAWNER: COMMAND OPTIONS FOR HIRED GUARDS
If you enable the Can Be Hired option in the Guard Spawner device, there is a new Can Be Given Commands option. When this is set to Yes, it gives your players the ability to control their hired guards by giving them different commands. The following commands are displayed on a new UI element, the Command Wheel:
- Move
- Wait
- Follow
- Dismiss
All spawned guards that have commands enabled can be controlled by the player, and players can command up to three hired guards at the same time.
SKY JELLIES
Sky Jellies are now available in the Type option of the Wildlife Spawner device. Sky Jellies are helpful creatures that exist in the world with the single goal of healing any living thing that comes near them. If wildlife or players approach a Sky Jelly, it will slowly float toward them and give off a healing splash if the target has less than full health. Players can interact with the Sky Jelly to trigger the healing splash more quickly.
When players jump on top of the Sky Jelly, it bounces the player upward and makes them immune to fall damage for a short time. Players can shoot Sky Jellies to detonate them, but if a Sky Jelly is shot, it explodes with a shockwave instead of a healing splash. This shockwave will also detonate other Sky Jellies that are nearby.
BIG BUSH BOMB
Use the Big Bush Bomb in your island, so player can throw a large bush out into the environment to hide in or to confuse their opponents.
