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!
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.
