Fortnite V5.40 Content Update Patch Notes - Drum Gun Vaulted, Suppressed Assault Rifle Added
Fortnite v5.40 patch note for Fortnite is currently live. It includes two or three new features to both Save the World and Battle Royale. The most conspicuous bit of the update is the presentation of the Suppressed Assault Rifle. The decision to vault the Drum Gun may come as a stun to a couple. No reasoning has been given starting at now.
Save the World sees another Mythic Outlander (Field Agent Rio), and there's also another course of action of Weekly Horde Challenges. Shields won't help you this time as Husks are significantly more aggressive.
