The January 3 Hotfix has arrived for Fortnite, and here’s the complete list of changes and fixes added with this patch. The game has been around for years and was met with plenty of excitement from the gaming committee. The game receives regular patches and owing to this it offers a better gameplay experience to players. A new hotfix showed up a while ago which points out v23.10. So, check out the Fortnite January 3 Hotfix (v23.10) patch notes down below.

Fortnite January 3 Hotfix for v23.10 Patch Notes

The v23.10 January 3 hotfix brings a new protective item, the Guardian Shield, to Battle Royale, and kicks off weeks of new, earnable rewards via Midseason Drops!

Protect the Squad with the Guardian Shield

With swords flying and hammers slamming, a little extra cover goes a long way.

Findable from Oathbound Chests, the Guardian Shield deploys a protective barrier in front of you which blocks incoming damage. This shield can be raised as mobile cover while you and the squad are on the move, or thrown to the ground for stationary, sustained protection. The barrier won’t last forever, so keep your eyes on the shield’s changing color to indicate when it’s about to run out!
