Updated: Epic Games has updated their time to "coming this weekend." The time may not be reflected as below, but it will be coming this week.

Earlier this month we reported a leak that had many Fortnite fans excited for alleged cosmetic items on the way. Two of those pieces included the Feathered Flyer glider and the Raven outfit, and the Raven instantly became a hit. Thanks to one Twitter user, we know we'll be seeing it at midnight UTC time!

You can see the full list of datamined cosmetics that were leaked earlier right here. Given that quite a few of them have come to pass, it's safe to say it might not be a bad idea to get excited!

Need even more Fortnite goodness? Don't forget to check out our guide right here to see where all of the newly dropped vending machines are in Battle Royale. It's the perfect way to get an edge up on the competition, or to set up shop and snipe anyone that comes near! Dealers choice! As far as the latest patch that just dropped:

Vending Machines
Got materials to spare? Spend them at Vending Machines, now found in many locations across the island. Each Vending Machine offers 3 different deals, rarity and items chosen at random.

High Explosives v2 (Battle Royale)
Things are really BOOM-ing in v2 of this explosive mode! Remote Explosives and Guided Missiles added for even more 'splosions.

Easter Egg Launcher (Save the World)
This is no joke, the Easter Egg Launcher really keeps things egg-splosive!
