Fortnite Update v11.31 Patch Notes Brings Battle Lab, Playground Under Creative and Bug Fixes

Epic Games today released the latest v11.31 patch update for its popular battle royal game Fortnite. The latest Fortnite update v11.31 patch notes bring some notable changes and bug fixes to the game which includes the new Battle Lab. The new Battle Lab is said to allow players to create their own Battle Royale island and set the rules. Players will be able to create their own Battel Royal island by using their favorite LTM loot pools, set up combat scenarios with the new Bot Grenades, and also setting options like gravity and fall damage.

The Fortnite v11.31 patch notes further say that a player will be able to add up to 15 friends into his own created Battel Royal island or matchmake with default options in a public Battle Lab.

The latest Fortnite v11.31 patch update further adds Playground under Creative.  In the Playground, you can Play Creative maps with others by queuing for Creative and choosing “Play” instead of “Create.”

Notably, the Fortnite v11.31 patch also temporarily disabled the support of DirectX 12 beta for Fortnite. Epic games say that they have gained valuable information from the beta and after making some improvements it will bring it back in early 2020.
