Fortnite: v9.40 patch notes

Update 9.40 is complete, which means that the 14 summer days are over, and a new tactical pump rifle is entering the map. Ha, and the sniper by the shot- is back.

New weapon: Tactical Shotgun - Epic & Legendary

Two new weapons will soon hit the map in Epic's battle royale.

WEAPONS + ITEMS
