Fortnite has released the patch notes for Fortnite v8.40.1 which includes stability fixes and bug fixes.
Battle Royale
Fixed the following issues:
- Players were incorrectly being shown that they were being dropped to a lower Division in Arena.This was a visual-only issue, players were not actually being moved to a lower Division and the correct Division for each player is now displayed in-game.
- Blackheart’s beard was growing uncontrollably in the Deep Fried Food Fight LTM and would cover most of a player’s screen. He has visited a barber and his beard is back to its previous glory.
- Bushes were not appearing in any game modes after playing a match in the Air Royale LTM.
- Nameplate and ally indicators were missing from the UI in the Deep Fried Food Fight LTM.
- Extra buttons on mobile devices weren’t functioning properly when quickly alternating between clicking dedicated weapon select and building buttons.
Fixed the following issues:
- Throwable items were not dealing damage if it was the last item consumed in a stack.
- The countdown for the Item Shop was showing an incorrect time.
