Fortnite 18.40 Patch Notes – November 16, 2021
COMBAT PISTOL: POWER WITH A KICK
Like the Combat Assault Rifle, the Combat Pistol sports a tight bullet spread and exceptional power. This power coincides with strong recoil, so it takes a savvy yielder to fire its full potential.
Combat Pistols can be found in Chests, on the ground, and from fishing. The standard Pistol has been vaulted as the Combat Pistol has been distributed throughout the Island.
THE SIDEWAYS RIFLE ENHANCED
The Sideways Rifle has seen some refinements! It now reaches its superpowered state (or “close to overheating” state) faster, stays there longer, and is more accurate. Pick one up and take advantage of these changes.
New
Fortnite added Naruto Shippuden to the game.
