Fortnite update 19.40 is here, bringing another addition of content, skins, and Amazing Web Week challenges to complete – here are the early patch notes.
With just three weeks to go until Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 1 comes to an end and Season 2 begins, hype is building and players are running out of things to do (and ways to earn XP) in the current season.
Fortunately, there’s another update to keep everyone entertained with new content. This one isn’t as big as previous updates, but Spider-Man fans are in for a treat with the arrival of Amazing Web Week.
Below you’ll find everything we know about Fortnite update 19.40.
Fortnite update 19.40 patch notes
Amazing Web Week begins
Following on from Bownanza Week, where all of the bows from Chapter 2: Season 6 returned, a second themed Wild Week will be arriving in Fortnite when update 19.40 goes live.
This week, it’s all about Spider-Man! Amazing Web Week will take place from March 1 to March 9, with a new set of quests to complete and Web-Shooters appearing in Chests for the first time.
Bouncers will also be unvaulted, and you can find them as floor loot or in Supply Drops.
A new Spider-Man skin will be released
According to Epic Games, there’s at least one more Spider-Man skin that’s yet to be released before the end of Chapter 3: Season 1, meaning it will likely arrive in the two weeks following this update.
We don’t know what form of Spider-Man this could be yet. Could it be that rumored Tobey Maguire skin? Or maybe it’s Miles Morales? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Time of day can now be adjusted in replays
It’s now possible to change the time of day when watching replays in Fortnite. This is available for Battle Royale and Creative Islands, as long as the time of day hasn’t been set by the Island’s creator.
You can adjust the time of day by selecting the camera settings and navigating to the clock icon.
Proximity Voice Chat added to Impostors Mode
The Impostors (Voice) playlist has received a slight change in the Fortnite 19.40 update.
It now uses proximity voice chat, which means who you hear is based on who is closest to your character.
More weekly challenges released
There will be another two weeks of challenges added to the files with the Fortnite 19.40 update, the first set of which will go live on Thursday. You can find the full list of weekly quests right here.
It’s likely there will be loads more content revealed when the update finally drops, including plenty of skins and cosmetics – you can keep up to date with the latest ones here.
