Players excited for the first update of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 will not have to wait much longer.

Fortnite Myths & Mortals is a raging success so far. From four glorious new POIs to a handful of fresh Mythic weapons, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 delivered on all the hype and then some. Plus, the Battle Pass is full of Greek mythology-inspired cosmetics, including skins for Zeus, Artemis, Hades, and more, that are nicer than almost all the Fortnite Underground options. As always, Epic Games is planning to release even more content throughout the month, and the first update of the season is almost here.

Check out exactly when Fortnite update v29.01 goes live.

Here's When the First Update of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Goes Live

The first update of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 goes live on Tuesday, Mar. 19, 2024. Fortnite update v29.01 will bring the first major changes to Fortnite Myths & Mortals, including new skins, quests, and more.

Reliable Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, reported the update's upcoming release on X. Although it is unclear exactly what is coming in the update, there are several leaked collaborations launching in Fortnite this season, including crossovers with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Jujutsu Kaisen. Perhaps we could see the beloved characters earlier than initially predicted in Epic Games' Battle Royale come next Tuesday.

Is Midas' Drum Gun Coming Back in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? Answered

Yes, Midas' Drum Gun is coming back in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. In fact, according to reliable Fortnite leaker, ShiinaBR, the OP weapon could be unvaulted as early as update v29.01.

The return of the fan-favorite weapon would add a much needed additional long-range weapon to the current loot pool. With just two assault rifles and one DMR in Fortnite Myths & Mortals, the Drum Gun would fit right in and likely rise to the top of the meta.
