Fortnite 24.20 update release date & downtime

Fortnite 24.20 update brings Attack on Titan skins & Mythics
The Fortnite 24.20 patch marks the arrival of three different Attack on Titan skins for players to unlock. First is Eren Jaeger, who can be earned through a series of challenges available to anyone who purchased the Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass.
Then, two more characters from the iconic anime can be purchased from the in-game Item Shop – Mikasa and Levi Ackerman. These can be bought for 1,500 V-Bucks each, or in a bundle with both skins for 2,200 V-Bucks.
Attack on Titan-themed Mythic items have also been added to the map. The Omni-directional Mobility Gear used by The Scouts is a way of quickly traversing the island and attacking enemies with its built-in sword.
Then there’s the Thunder Spear, a deadly rocket launcher capable of dealing big damage. Both of these items can be found on the ground, in Chests, or in the new Scout Regiment Footlockers littered around the map.

Epic Games have shared the full Fortnite 24.20 update patch notes, so check them below:
Battle from Above: ODM Gear
Retrievable from the ground, Chests, and Scout Regiment Footlockers, put on Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) Gear. Having this apparatus equipped will give you the ability to grapple in the air and strike opponents below! After attacking with the built-in blades, you’ll immediately boost back into the air so you can grapple elsewhere… or hover and execute another attack.
Think you’ve mastered the ODM Gear? Try knocking down Titan Targets on the Island!
Fight Explosively: Thunder Spears
Also retrievable from the ground, Chests, and Scout Regiment Footlockers, Thunder Spears are arm-launched rockets designed to penetrate armored structures, detonating to damage enemies on both sides!
Jaeger’s Family Basement
Jaeger’s Family Basement has appeared on the Island! But just as this basement contains many secrets, its exact location in Anvil Square is a secret too. Find the location of this new nook in Anvil Square.
