Fortnite Update and Patch Notes 14.40

The 14.40 patch is probably one of the most consequent of this season of Fortnite. All the Halloween novelties for this year are concentrated in it. A real breath of fresh air after a month of flat calm on the Battle Royale by Epic Games.

The plot around Galactus and Marvel superheroes takes a back seat for about ten days. Make way for the Fortnitemares!

Work in progress!

Epic Games hasn't released a full official patch note for v14.40. We're doing our best to collect the news and summarize it for you in this article.

Fortnitemares updates

Fortnitemares challenges

Win exclusive rewards with Fortnite Fortnitemares challenges

The Fortnitemares challenges will allow you to explore the new features of Fortnite v14.40, while winning exclusive rewards.

Bug fixes

  • The Honey Hitters pickaxe has been disabled, this will hopefully be fixed in the update.
  • The inventory in Team Rumble is still currently shuffling whenever you respawn. This is very annoying, but there is a workaround that you can do where you drop all the items and pick them up in the order you'd like them to be in. However, this appears to be scheduled to be fixed in this update.
  • Doctor Doom's Mystical Bomb has been disabled, and will hopefully be fixed.
  • An issue that is causing vehicle buttons to appear missing on mobile.
  • Silver/Gold foil style variants for Mystique and Doctor Doom may appear with a black texture on Nintendo Switch.
