Here are the patch notes. There are only a few weeks until the end of Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 1, but the devs at Epic Games still have a couple of mid-season content updates planned to keep things fresh until then. The latest update is quite a big one, as it\u2019s adding loads of weapons back to the loot pool and introducing a new event called Most Wanted that will affect the main Battle Royale mode. Below, you\u2019ll find the Fortnite v23.40 patch notes and details of the bug fixes that are being issued with this update. Fortnite update 23.40 patch notes The Most Wanted event begins A new event called Most Wanted will begin following the v23.40 update. Players will need to complete Most Wanted Quests, increase their Infamy level, and earn Cold Blooded Medallions. Doing this will progress you along a reward track that includes cosmetics like the Solid Skull Back Bling and the Cold Blooded Ace Skin \u2013 all for free! This event also introduces a Heat system that increases when you eliminate opponents. As your Heat Level rises, Cold Blooded NPCs will become more aggressive and you\u2019ll be visible to other players on the map. You can find out more about the Most Wanted event here. New Reality Augments have launched Just like previous updates, v23.40 has introduced a few new Reality Augments to play around with. We\u2019ve listed them below: Keymaster \u2013 Grants two Keys for opening Holo-Chests &#8211; Last Shots \u2013 The last two bullets of your Pistol magazine deals bonus damage &#8211; Exotic Grab Bag \u2013 Receive a random Heisted Exotic Weapon &#8211; Sniper Surplus \u2013 Sniper Rifles gain one extra ammo in their magazine &#8211; We\u2019ve got a complete list of Reality Augments and their perks if you want to learn more. New Exotic Weapons have arrived Five brand new Exotic Weapons have debuted during the Most Wanted event: Explosive Assault Rifle \u2013 Fires explosive rounds &#8211; Breacher Shotgun \u2013 Perfect for destroying &#8211; Accelerate Shotgun \u2013 Increases movement speed and fire rate as you damage enemies &#8211; Run N Gun SMG \u2013 Infused with Slap and reloads your magazine when sprinting &#8211; Bling Mag SMG \u2013 Grants Zero Point Dash for a few seconds after reloading &#8211; It\u2019s expected that these Exotic Weapons will only be available during the Most Wanted event, so make the most of them while you can. Several weapons have been unvaulted Not just one, but six weapons have been taken out of the vault and added back into the Fortnite weapon pool with the v23.40 update, giving you plenty to try out when completing those Most Wanted Quests. The Suppressed Pistol, the Dual Pistols, the Hand Cannon, and the Heavy Sniper will be found in the regular loot pool, while the Boom Sniper and the Hop Rock Dualies rejoin the Exotic weapon lineup. Dragon Ball items are going back in the vault We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed using the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud items for the past few weeks, as they\u2019ll be heading back into the vault following the v23.40 update. Sad times! A bunch of new skins are on their way Fortnite updates pretty much always bring new skins and cosmetics to the game, but there seems to be more than usual with the v23.40 update. You can see some of the new skins below, including an original Valentine\u2019s Day skin called Folly and a new FNCS Jonesy skin. It\u2019s likely that these will appear in the shop over the next couple of weeks. More weekly challenges As with every Fortnite update, a brand new set of weekly challenges will be added to the game, which will give you even more opportunities to earn XP and work through this season\u2019s Battle Pass. Fortnite update 23.40 bug fixes The following bug fixes are expected to ship with the 23.40 update: The Sparkle Specialist outfit is not reflective and shiny. &#8211; Sarah Connor\u2019s Resistance Leader style has a stretched face. &#8211; Save Device may reset player scores and other stats in Creative Mode. &#8211; Some devices may be capped to 60 FPS despite selecting 90 FPS on mobile. &#8211; That\u2019s everything we know about Fortnite update 23.40!
