Fortnite V7.40 Patch Notes: Driftboard and New Content


The v7.40 update for Fortnite Battle Royale now went live on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile, which including a brand new item that we've been waiting months to determine, as well as a couple of Limited-Time Modes. You can find everything that is new in today's patch below.

Undoubtedly the largest addition is the Driftboard, which was initially announced late final year but by no means created it into the game. It lets players "catch air, carry out tricks, and visualize whole new solutions to use the Driftboard in Inventive mode." The Driftboard is only a "limited-time item," and we don't understand how long it will stick around for. Whatever the case, you'll be able to do several different items whilst riding--fire your weapons, use consumables, loot, and revive allies--but you cannot develop. You are going to discover Driftboards positioned "all around the map."

The new Driftin' LTM is definitely a chance to make great use with the Driftboard, as it includes a racing element to its gameplay. If you are soon after something slightly more chaotic, Catch mode removes all guns, but leaves in grenades and also other products which will be thrown at enemies. Check out the complete patch notes below to find out all the new content material coming to Fortnite's battle royale mode. You are able to head for the official Fortnite website to find out what's new with the Save The World and Creative modes.

Presumably, to compensate for the addition with the Driftboard, two other movement-focused items--Gliders and Balloons--are now much less most likely to spawn as floor loot. Dual Pistols are also now much less probably to become discovered as floor loot.

Fortnite Season 8 is rapidly approaching and despite the fact that it remains unclear what Epic has in retailer for players, it appears the transition is going to have a massive impact around the island. Players happen to be reporting earthquakes for a handful of weeks now and, far more not too long ago, cracks in the island have begun to seem. It could possibly be that Epic is organizing to break off chunks with the landmass to mix points up a bit.

Though Season 7's challenges have come to a finish, there are now Overtime Challenges to perform. They're pretty quick and completing 13 of them will unlock a cost-free Fortnite Season eight Battle Pass. The Overtime Challenges are at present set to expire on February 27, which has led to speculation that Season 8 could begin on February 28, even though Epic hasn't officially confirmed this.
