While the developer never shares the full patch notes for a Fortnite update, we&#8217;ve got you covered. The latest update to the ever-popular Battle Royale title adds the long-awaited Grab-Itron gun, gets ready for the massive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/fortnite\/fortnite-rift-tour-dates-times-quests-and-rewards-ariana-grande-concert\">Rift Tour event<\/a> which will feature Ariana Grande and her very own<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/fortnite\/fortnite-ariana-grande-icon-series-skin-first-look-release-date-and-more\"> Icon Series skin<\/a>, and makes several bug fixes as well as improvements. Here&#8217;s what we know about Fortnite v17.30 update with our unofficial patch notes.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite v17.30 update &#8211; Server downtime and release<\/h2>\n<p>The Fortnite v17.30 update released in the early hours of the morning on 3rd August 2021, with servers going down at roughly 07:00 BST.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/k0BmZf5A1LHGCTcUr1OoSwvrTaA88GBLS9W4Di3YVw8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9Gb3J0bml0ZS8xU2Vhc29uNy8xNzIwX3VwZGF0ZS9QYXRjaF9ub3Rlcy9Gb3J0bml0ZXYxNzIwdXBkYXRlcGF0Y2hub3Rlc2luc2lkZTEuanBnP190PTE2MjU1Njg3MzU\" alt=\"Fortnite v17.30 update patch notes bug fixes grab-itron gun rift tour improvements\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">(Picture: Epic Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the time of writing, the servers are down for maintenance so the update can get released. We expect the server downtime for the Fortnite v17.30 update to get back online between 10:00 and 11:00 AM BST.<\/p>\n<p>Slurpy Swamp abducted<\/p>\n<p>POIs are being abducted in Fortnite following the v17.30 update. In a blog post, Epic Games explains how Slurpy Swamp is being abducted:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Planned from the very beginning, the Aliens have unleashed their newest tactic: abducting certain POIs. A giant tractor beam from the Mothership currently envelops Slurpy Swamp, lifting this industrial district to its untimely demise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/Yg6O3jCvdtNXe8mr5Gax9uRqOWUcsaaoBFCqgs66tYk\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9Gb3J0bml0ZS8xU2Vhc29uNy9UZWFtQnJhd2wvU2x1cnB5QWJkdWN0ZWQuanBnP190PTE2Mjc5ODYyODI\" alt=\"Fortnite v17.30 patch notes slurpy swamp adducted grab-itron gun bug fixes\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">(Picture: Epic Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;A POI being abducted may be a cause for concern, but you could also look at it as a new battle strategy. An entire district like Slurpy Swamp is quite heavy, so the tractor beam has no choice but to break it up into chunks as it lifts it. While you&rsquo;re in the low-gravity tractor beam, jump from platform to platform, manoeuvring around your opponents with nimbleness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Abducting a whole POI isn&rsquo;t something that happens overnight, so keep checking back throughout the week to see how the abduction has progressed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite v17.30 weapon balance changes<\/h2>\n<p>There are two weapon balance changes in the Fortnite v17.30 update.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IO R&amp;D has paid off: the Pulse Rifle now does more damage when aiming down sights.<\/li>\n<li>The Heavy Assault Rifle now deals increased damage, has a slightly reduced fire rate, and for the first few shots, has a higher accuracy than before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both the Pulse Rifle and the Heavy Assault Rifle has seen some buffs, which is great for fans of the weapons.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite Grab-Itron gun released<\/h2>\n<p>Teased earlier in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, the gravity gun was first called the &#8220;Cowinator&#8221; by fans and leakers. However, the official name is Grab-Itron. Anyone who&#8217;s played a Half-Life game will likely jump with joy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/BpBgY8S4Uv1jlYokIGAR9IQm9FSMlt_0VfVc660c1H8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9Gb3J0bml0ZS8xU2Vhc29uNy8xNzIwX3VwZGF0ZS9HcmFiaXRyb24vR3JhYml0cm9uaW5zaWRlMS5qcGc_X3Q9MTYyNjc4NDEzNA\" alt=\"Fortnite v17.30 update patch notes bug fixes grab-itron gun rift tour improvements\" width=\"511\" height=\"416\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">(Picture: FNAssist)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let&#8217;s just get straight to it, shall we? The Grab-Itron allows players to pick up objects and throw them at enemies, or structures. The bigger the object, the more damage it will deal, and it depends a bit on object material as well.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, throwing a vehicle will deal a lot of damage, but you cannot throw it as far and with as much speed as, for example, a kitchen sink&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/tB8Md71gDHMElfcoLS2btky_DGY1QZ8yt2JJ2lvuFck\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9Gb3J0bml0ZS8xU2Vhc29uNy8xNzIwX3VwZGF0ZS9HcmFiaXRyb24vR3JhYml0cm9uU3RhdHMuanBnP190PTE2MjY3ODQxMzQ\" alt=\"Fortnite v17.30 update patch notes bug fixes grab-itron gun rift tour improvements\" width=\"1024\" height=\"334\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">(Picture: iFireMonkey)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As you can see, the stats for Fortnite&#8217;s Grab-Itron is quite barebones, since it depends on what type of object you pick up.
