Mark those calendars, legends! Downtime officially kicks off at 2 AM ET on August 7, with matchmaking shutting down 30 minutes earlier at 1:30 AM ET. This tiny window means you’ve gotta sprint through any unfinished Battle Pass tiers or LEGO Fortnite quests—no last-minute heroics after that clock hits 1:30! Seriously, imagine scrambling to grab one final skin while the servers blink out... total chaos mode! 💨

Why the extended blackout? Epic’s confirmed that patch v37.00 is a MONSTER update. We’re talking colossal—way heftier than usual season drops. Expect servers to snooze for 4-5 hours, waking up refreshed around 6-7 AM ET. The sheer scale hints at insane content: not just Battle Royale chaos, but LEGO Fortnite madness and OG throwbacks colliding! That tingly feeling when you know Epic’s cooking something massive? Yeah, it’s back. ✨
