Fortnite update 12.40 has been a long time coming, but, despite that lead time, there honestly isn't much to it that will impact gamers in the short term. The new Tech in Spy Games sounds like a solid feature, but it's limited to a mode that most players probably haven't messed around with since its debut at the start of Season 2. The Shark becoming a prison is fairly interesting, though, as the story of the Season 2 map continues to unfold. Might this new locale have something to do with the Doomsday Device leakers have been talking so much about?
Speaking of leakers, perhaps the most interesting thing about Fortnite update 12.40 is its added content that's not yet available to play. Dataminers have found evidence to suggest an Infected mode may be coming to the game, as well as a rocket launcher called the MistyBop, three new Marvel outfits and an additional Deadpool skin variation. Battle Pass owners may have thought the Deadpool Challenges were done for good, but it looks like some new objectives have been added to the set. There isn't much to do in Fortnite 12.40 specifically, but there's ample signs to prove much meatier updates are on their way.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile.
