Update: Jan 11 2022 Fortnite Update Patch Notes
It’s a new year and the Christmas event is still ongoing. Players are still searching why there’s an extra present in the cabin. It’s a glitch that will be fixed in the next major patch update.
However, players will be compensated for the downtime when the servers were having issues. The Epic Games servers were down for more than three hours and a day later, they were down again, likely due to the amount of players logging into Epic Games to claim the free Tomb Raider game from the store.
We have a new Fortnite hotfix update today, 19.01. Here are the patch notes for the January 4th, 2022 update.
Fortnite Update Patch Notes
This is a hotfix update for 19.01, that means there are no files that players need to download. As expected, there isn’t a lot of new content with a major patch update scheduled to release on Tuesday, 11th January.
Today’s new Fortnite update introduces a brand new item, the Shield Keg. It was leaked by data-miners when the new chapter launched at the start of December, but has now finally made it’s way into the game.
Players can heal health using the Med-Mist spray that was added in the 19.00 update. Now, players can restore your and your allie’s health with the Shield Keg. The Shield Keg will spout out shield and restore a player’s shield from 0 to 100.
You’ll need to be careful where you place the new shield item because you can also restore an enemies’ shield if they’re close enough. You can find the kegs as floor loot, in chests and supply drops, and by purchasing them from Lt. John Llama and The Scientist NPCs.

Apart from that, the official patch notes for 19.01 don’t have anything else apart from reminding players that the Winterfest Christmas event will end on January 6th at 9 AM ET. Be sure to open all your presents and complete the challenges before then.
If you’re a PC player, you’ll likely have redeemed the Blizzabelle skin, but if you haven’t logged in, do so before January 6th to get the skin before it’s unavailable to claim.
