|-|Battle Royale=
The Wilds await in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4: Season 3. The center of the Island has collapsed, revealing a vast, hidden jungle with ancient secrets to discover. Ascend to canopies, ride raptors, and slide in the mud for speed and camouflage. Detect enemies from the canopies with the “Thermal DMR,” skate on vines firing the “Flapjack Rifle,” and turn opponents into spectators with the “Cybertron Cannon.”

== Ride a Raptor! ==
Raptors are running wild in the jungle – take command of these jurassic creatures by jumping on top of them. Unleash your arsenal and leap to new heights as you ride.
What if you see a raptor egg instead? Nurture it and it'll automatically be your raptor when it hatches!
== Go Wild with New Weapons ==
Thermal DMR
Battle in the jungle, see how a jungle animal sees. While looking through the scope of the Thermal DMR, turn on thermal vision to more easily detect your enemies.
Flapjack Rifle
Make heads turn as you best enemies and structures with the Flapjack Rifle. Heads won’t be the only thing turning — this new weapon features a spinning magazine! (You can find the Mythic version of this weapon from Vaults requiring Keycards.)
Kinetic Boomerang
Throw the Kinetic Boomerang to hit enemies in its flight path… AND its return path. Miss your target? Recall the boomerang early to trigger a small explosion and try again!
Cybertron Cannon
There’s going wild, then there’s having a blast. Take up a Cybertron Cannon on the Island to launch a powerful, quick, and explosive projectile.
Wildwasp Jar
A hostile insect species known as Wildwasps inhabit the jungle, preferring to swarm around certain plants. Gather them in a jar to throw at enemies! (The Wildwasps set their sights on you? Jump in water or cover yourself in mud to get them off your tail.)
== Go Back in Time with Unvaulted Weapons ==
Drum Shotgun
There's a Mythic version too! Find the Mythic version from a POI rifting in.
Combat SMG
== Be Mega Prepared ==
There’s the new weapons, there’s the unvaulted weapons, but don’t forget about these Chapter 4: Season 2 carryovers:
*Havoc Pump Shotgun
*Maven Auto Shotgun
*Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle
*Red-Eye Assault Rifle
*Submachine Gun
*Tactical Pistol
*Heavy Sniper Rifle
*Chug Cannon (Exotic weapon …and technically not a weapon)
*Heisted Breacher Shotgun (Exotic weapon)
*Heisted Accelerant Shotgun (Exotic weapon)
*Heisted Run 'N' Gun SMG (Exotic weapon)
*Shadow Tracker (Exotic weapon, this time available from Exotic Holo-Chests and Characters)
== Slide for Stealth ==
A jungle climate means mud, so master the terrain: slide in the mud for more speed than regular sliding and gain camouflage in the process.
== Grind Vines to Victory ==
Take an adrenaline-pumping ride on grind vines, being able to use weapons at the same time.
== Contend from the Canopies ==
You don’t need the ground to gain the high ground. Ascend to the jungle’s canopies and fire high from above! When you get back on the ground, find some mud for a clean (but also not really clean) getaway. 
== Fight with Flora ==
Use the power of new, dangerous vegetation to your advantage. Shoot a Bomb Flower to create an explosion, or shoot a Stink Flower to unleash toxic gas on nearby enemies. Need to heal up? Swing your Pickaxe at the helpful Slurp Plants.
There’s also a flower for mobility. Run into Hop Flowers to bounce around the jungle without worrying about fall damage!
== Adapt to the Jungle with New Reality Augments ==
Primal Companion
Gain thermal vision and regenerate Health while riding animals.
Wildwasp Weaponry
Receive some Wildwasp Jars, and gain an additional one with every elimination.
Sprint Lines
Gain a Slap effect upon using grind vines, grind rails, ziplines, or Ascenders.
Shell Slide
Gain Shotgun shells while sliding.
Swift Shotgun Reload
Your Shotguns will reload faster.
Reckless Rifle Reload
Your Assault Rifles will reload significantly faster when the magazine is empty.
Medium Ammo Acquired
Instantly gain medium ammo, then gain more when you open containers.
== Slide for Stealth ==

*Aquatic Warrior
*Light Fingers
*First Assault
*Bloodhound

*Soaring Sprints
*Mythic Munition

== Work Wild ==
Bounty Boards are back in the form of Job Boards! Upon interacting with a Job Board, you’ll be given a choice of three jobs, including a bounty. Complete jobs for Bars!
Primal Companion
== Look Wildly Good ==
Unlock timeless looks with Chapter 4 Season 3’s Battle Pass Outfits. Upon purchasing the Chapter 4: Season 3 Battle Pass, you’ll auto-unlock the future-facing Era. Progress through the Battle Pass to unlock Outfits like rock ranger 🎸 Rian and Autobot leader Optimus Prime.

|-|Creative=
With the Fortnite v25.00 update, we are combining highlights for Creative, UEFN, and Verse into one patch notes document. Patch notes will continue being published biweekly in Creator News on the Creator Portal. You can now find bug fixes for Creative, UEFN, and Verse in our documentation on the Epic Developer Community site. This will be our format for Fortnite Ecosystem creation tool updates moving forward, so let's dive in!
== Direct Event Binding Reminder ==
In the v25.00 update, direct event binding is now turned on for all islands made using the Creative toolset. For more information, see Getting Started with Direct Event Binding in our official documentation.
== Upgraded Devices Reminder ==
For some time now in Creative, you have been able to manually convert your islands to upgraded devices, by going to the Tools tab of My Island and clicking the Upgrade Devices button. Starting in a future update, new Creative islands will use upgraded devices by default. These devices are the same ones used by UEFN and provide improvements over the original devices, including:
*Direct numerical input
*Color pickers 
*Additional features on some devices
We'd love to hear about any concerns or issues you've had with the upgraded devices, so we can make the conversion as smooth as possible.
== Welcome Hub Change ==
To make sure creators have a smooth and consistent experience when entering Creative, the Welcome Hub is changing to a new Epic-created default hub starting today.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the amazing Hubs you've submitted over the years. We hope to see you use those amazing design skills in your creations in the months and years to come!
== Grind Rails ==
Grind Rails from Battle Royale Chapter 4 can now be added to islands using the Creative toolset or UEFN. The spline defining the rail's path can be edited directly in UEFN, or it can be edited with the Phone tool in Creative.
Grind Rail devices in Creative are similar to AI Patrol Path devices in that they have two nodes (called Control Points for this device) when first placed, and require at least two. Use the Phone tool's Copy function to add a new Control Point to the rail, and the Cut function to move a Control Point. To safely remove one or more Control Points, use the Phone tool to select them first, then delete. 
Rotating a Control Point adjusts the direction of the grind rail as it goes through that point, which creates a curve. The Tangent Intensity option can be customized for each Control Point to adjust how rounded the curve is. You can also customize the color of each rail.
== New Items in Creative Inventory and UEFN Content Browser ==
New Bouncer Added
*The Hop Flower has been added to the Bouncer Gallery of devices.
New Weapons
*Kinetic Boomerang
*Flapjack Rifle
*Thermal DMR
== New Events for Prop-o-Matic Manager ==
Three new events have been added to the upgraded version of the Prop-O-Matic Manager:
*On Begin Entering Disguise
*On Finish Entering Disguise
*On Exiting Disguise
== Add Materials to Landscapes in UEFN ==
You can now create custom landscape materials and use these materials to improve the quality and shading of your environment. Learn more in Create a Custom Landscape in UEFN.
== Guidelines for Architectural and Modeling Assets in UEFN ==
There are now clear guidelines available for creating architectural assets with specific count values, and for using models created with third-party software. 
You can review the guidelines at:
*Architectural Modeling Guidelines 
*Modeling Tips 
== New Game Tutorial: Triad Infiltration ==
We released a new game tutorial – Triad Infiltration – for showcasing what you can do with Verse! It's a multiplayer competitive game that uses Verse to asymmetrically balance the teams. The game has three teams — Infiltrators, Attackers, and Defenders.
*The invisible Infiltrators are trying to steal an objective from the Defenders while avoiding Attackers.
*The Attackers are trying to steal the Defender’s flag while preventing the Infiltrators from capturing their own objective.
*The Defenders are trying to stop both teams, and win when time runs out before the Infiltrators or Attackers have reached a certain score.
You can customize the size of each team, and each team has different weapons.By balancing these teams asymmetrically, you can precisely control their power level.
== New Documentation for Creating In-Game User Interfaces ==
We reworked the existing Creating In-Game UI page to be a section at the top level of our official documentation, with multiple pages for each topic. This will help you find tutorials when you want to add in-game user interfaces to your island.
== Writing Code in Verse Tutorial Update ==
A new Lesson is available in our series Learn the Basics of Writing Code in Verse! Lesson 9: Failure and Control Flow explains the unique concept of failure in Verse. Learn why failure is a necessary part of programming, and how Verse lets you write code that safely rolls back instead of crashing your program.
== Build a Game Tutorials Update ==
We went through the UEFN tutorials under Build a Game and broke them out into separate documents for each step, and in the process also made sure they’re up-to-date. This breaks up these long tutorials and makes it easier to follow along with them. This includes the following game tutorials:
*Box Fight
*Capture the Flag
*Car Racing
*Parkour Elimination Race 
|-|Save the World=

Challenge Week 7 - Fast Forward (June 14 - June 21)
