Epic Games has rolled out Fortnite 4.17 (PS5 update version 1.000.128), and this is the second patch released within 24 hours, and is an updated patch version of v29.00! This should help in the login issues the game has been experiencing the entire day.
Fortnite Update 4.17 Patch Notes:
While Epic Games has already released the v29.00 changelog for Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths & Mortals, the update pushed out now is an updated version of the v29.00 patch, which should work as intended.
We’re continuing the work to bring Fortnite back online. Players will be able to pre-download an updated version of v29.00 in approximately 5 hours.
We’re grateful for your patience and can’t wait for everyone to be able to jump in. ⚡💛 pic.twitter.com/lcresJjEuc

While you can check the complete patch notes for v29.00 right here, here’s a quick rundown of the major things that went out:
LEGENDARY LOCATIONS
MOUNT OLYMPUS
You can’t have Olympus without Mount Olympus. Home of Zeus, you’ll always feel like you’re being watched with the grand monument that graces this great mountain.
CHAOS UPON THE LAND
The gods descended with their powers and weapons, but that doesn’t mean your next battle has to end in tragedy. Make your next battle a myth to remember by using them for yourself!
- THUNDERBOLT OF ZEUS
- GATEKEEPER SHOTGUN
- HARBINGER SMG
- HUNTRESS DMR
- WARFORGED ASSAULT RIFLE
ANOTHER POWER… THE POWER OF FLIGHT!
The Thunderbolt of Zeus isn’t the only Olympian Power. With the Wings of Icarus, soar through the skies and divebomb your foes below! But beware: fly too long and your wings will burn up, and taking too much damage may lead to a crash landing. Find this Mythic power across the Island!
Yet another Olympian Power is coming your way — the Chains of Hades will pull you in later this Season…
UNDERGROUND IN THE UNDERWORLD: WEAPONS FROM LAST SEASON
Unlike Orpheus looking back at Eurydice, you’re allowed to turn to the weapons from Chapter 5 Season 1. Here’s a list of the weapons returning from last Season:
- Hammer Pump Shotgun
- Frenzy Auto Shotgun
- Nemesis AR
- Thunder Burst SMG
- Reaper Sniper Rifle
- Ranger Pistol
MYTHS & MODS
It’s not enough that weapons descended from Olympus — the Thermal Scope and Speedgrip weapon mods did too. Also forged by Hephaestus, the Thermal Scope mod can be attached to any scoped weapon. Want vision like that of the gods? It more than doubles the scope view and has a thermal effect you can toggle on or off! With the Speedgrip mod, your movement speed while aiming will increase. Aim true and don’t tarry!
