When are the Fortnite Servers back up?

Update: The servers are back online now – have fun!

Original story:

Fortnite is currently down for maintenance just before the new week of challenges drop. This downtime usually lasts for a few hours, so there's not long left to wait.

For reference, last week's downtime lasted from about 8am UTC to 10:15am UTC (9am GMT to 11:15am GMT). That means we'd expect roughly another hour until the Fortnite servers are back up.

While you wait, dataminers have leaked a preliminary list of the Fortnite Season 5 Week 2 challenges so you can get a heads up on the competition.

Based on that list, we've put together guides for a couple of the more difficult challenges – including how to score a basket on different hoops, and where to search between an Oasis, Rock Archway and Dinosaurs.
