Fortnite V14.30 Update: Server downtime, patch notes, NEXUS War glider and more

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 has so far been a relentless thrill ride, thanks to its elaborate Marvel-themed crossover which has brought some of the most popular superheroes to the Fortnite island.

From the likes of Iron Man to Wolverine, there has been no dearth in terms of quality superhero content which caters to the needs of every fanboy/fangirl. The audience has been lapping up the plethora of skins, emotes and challenges that Epic Games has been dropping recently.

Moreover, Epic seems to have upped the ante in terms of churning out regular updates, with the latest update, the V14.30, all set to arrive today:
