Fortnite Update 14.40 Patch Notes

Update 14.40 for Fortnite has finally been released, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. Fortnitemares has finally begun, bringing Midas and his reawakened henchmen back to the island. New modes, weapons, items, and gear have been added to the game, so there’s plenty to do while the event is live for the next two weeks. You can complete challenges to earn some items for free, but the really cool stuff, like the upcoming Ghostbusters skins, will cost you some V-Bucks.

Here’s everything new with Fortnite update 14.40.
