Fortnite: Patch V11.40 – Full Patch Notes!

Finally! Epic Games has released another Fortnite patch ahead of the beginning of another set of weekly Cash Cups.

This is the first update since V11.30 which was over a month ago, so it is the longest Epic Games has gone without updating Fortnite.

Fans are rejoicing all over the world over the prospect of some brand new content.

There are some pretty exciting additions in this update so let’s go over everything we know from patch V11.40!

NOW WATCH BELOW: Keep up to date with all the latest Fortnite news!

Side Grading

SIDEMAN – This feature will change the way weapons work in-game!

This new feature is similar to how the upgrade stations work, before players were only being able to upgrade the same weapon to a higher rarity.

Now, there will be a feature called “sidegrading”, this will allow players to upgrade weapons to the other weapon variant. For instance, you will be able to upgrade a Tactical Shotgun to a Pump Shotgun!

Leaked Cosmetics!

LEAKS – Some of the skins we could see return

According to Fortnite data miner @HYPEX, these are all the added cosmetic items during patch V11.40!

Heavy AR

The classical AK has been in the game files for around two months now, so it is nice to see we are finally going to be able to use it.

Full damage statistics are not available right now, but be sure to check back soon!
