Hello! Happy Fortnite Community Day, the first one ever!
We have 2 rounds of #DevSaturdays coming up today, starting at 1:00pm ET and going through 3:00pm ET. Details below!
#SnipeADev
Can you beat a Dev at their own game? Can you find us, or will we find you?
At 1:00pm ET, we'll be running AGGRESSIVE customs with several devs:
Bcar243
Mikullandjello
Songzord
RoboDino
Zebrasmoothie
Zaidrel
Tofu Chris
Rotating guests!
We’ll be splitting our Devs into two squads. Clip an elim in the elimination feed (or replays), and post it on X, if you're lucky! But we won't go down easily. Be sure to tag your post with #FortniteCommunityDay
Matches may end when both Dev Squads are eliminated, or we'll finish out the match if it's close to the end-game.
Aggressive Customs will be in Battle Royale - Zero Build - Squads - North America East (NAE) Matchmaking Region.
#GoldenFireworks
At 2:00pm ET, we'll be running FRIENDLY customs. We'll all land in one location, and shoot our names into the sky! The #Fortography GOATS will be ready with their cameras!
Once we shoot the fireworks, we'll either play out the match (running from the storm!) or return to the lobby, and start fresh quickly.
Friendly Customs will be in Battle Royale - BUILD (not ZB) - Squads - North America East (NAE) Matchmaking Region.
How do I join?
All coordination happens on the Official Fortnite Discord, at discord.gg/fortnite
Once you're in, see the "Community Day | May 30" section. General discussion happens in the #community-day-may30 channel, and custom matchmaking codes are posted in the #play-with-the-devs channel.
SEE YOU THERE!
Best wishes,
Fortnite Dev Team

How to set up Custom Matchmaking
First, make sure you have the right Playlist Lobby before you enter the code.
Battle Royale
Zero Build (for Aggressive Customs), Build (for Friendly Customs)
Squads (Fill < make sure to get teammates!)
NAE matchmaking region
How to set your matchmaking region, a guide for noobs:
Open Settings (Esc -> Gear symbol on PC)
Navigate to “Game” sub-tab
See Language and Region, i.e. the first section
Matchmaking Region setting, set to “NA-East”
Hit Apply, then hit Save. Don’t use Auto!
How to enter a Custom Matchmaking Code:
Ensure you have Battle Royale - [Build or Zero Build] - Squad - Fill selected in the PLAY tab
Navigate down to Discover
In the bottom right corner, you’ll see “Custom Key”. Click it!
Type in the custom matchmaking key posted on Discord - CaPs sEnSiTivE
Hit Accept
Scroll back up to the Lobby, and hit PLAY
Wait 5-10 minutes for Matchmaking to commence. You can see the number of players “queueing up” on the left side, after you hit PLAY. The closer that number is to 100, the sooner we’ll start!
Be on the lookout for more codes posted. We’ll change them each game, to start the lobby fresh
