These are the unofficial Fortnite 12.20 Patch Notes! Epic hasn’t been compiling detailed notes for every patch like they have done so in the past, so we’re putting together a list of everything that changed in the most recent update. We feature bug fix information, changes, and will be posting whatever else has been added to the game. We will add the official patch notes if they are posted.

The Fortnite 12.20 Patch has been officially announced to be releasing on March 17th, 2020 at 4 AM ET (0800 UTC)! You can expect a couple of hours of downtime once it has been added to the game.

Fortnite 12.20 Patch Bug Fixes

Here are the expected bug fixes for the 12.20 patch. These were taken from the Trello that display all of the stuff that Epic is working on in terms of bugs.

General Issues

  • The Vault Banner does not show up in players’ Locker.

Battle Royale Issues

  • At the end of a match, the “Return to Lobby,” “Item Shop,” and “Report Player” buttons may be unresponsive on controller. Player markers are placed on the terrain behind buildings/structures players could be aiming at. Players may get stuck inside the Porta Potty they end up in after using a Secret Passage. We’ve seen an increase in reports of buildings and structures appearing low detail or loading in late in v12.10. Players on PlayStation 4 may be unable to resume Auto-Sprint when they let go of the control stick after pushing it forward slightly left/right. Players may be unable to place a trap if the trap icon hasn’t finished loading.

Creative Issues

  • When placing the Yacht Prefab the rails on the front and back of the Yacht do not align with the rest of the Yacht.

Save the World Issues

  • The following Perks may not be properly applying to B.A.S.E: Electrified Floors, BASE MD, Frozen Castle. Love lobber’s poison cloud causes semi-permanent tick damage when walking into damage cloud after eliminating the beehive lobber. Banner gadgets acting as respawn points disappear earlier than intended. Retrieve the Data Missions will sometimes be unable to start normally which prevents players from progressing in the mission.
