Fortnite Battle Royal v5.40 Update




Today the Fortnite Team at Epic Games released yet another content update, v5.40. As a player we must understand that Fortnite keeps making these updates to improve the game and to try out new ideas. It is best not to resent these changes, and to embrace them because they are not going to stop anytime soon. Lets find out what they did this time!

  • Vaulting of the Drum Gun: This change is one that is tough to cope with. The Drum Gun was a glorious weapon that was a fan favorite for many players. The quick fire rate, quality damage, and long magazine clips made this weapon a "power move" on the battle field. Unfortunately,  the Fortnite Team did not clarify why the weapon got vaulted and did not even provide a hint on when it would come back at all. There is still also's a chance! However, many believe if the drum gun does make a return it will not be the same beast it was yesterday. Check out this article from Polygon for more info on the Drum Gun vault  here: Fortnite’s drum gun has been vaulted
  • The addition of the Silenced Assault Rifle: Epic games made a good effort to make up for the drum gun vault by adding the Silenced Assault Rifle. This weapon is not as quiet as the silenced SMG, but you can not successfully utilize the element of surprise from a distance. You can pick this gun up as an epic(purple) and legendary(gold) weapon tier, and it truly lives up to the status. The Silenced Assault Rifle feels great when you use it, 32/33 damage(same as the blue or green), and a mean head shot multiplier. See for yourself!
