Patch Notes for Fortnite Battle Royale v30.40 - Fall Guys Arrives, Minigun Returns

Fortnite's v30.40 update introduces Fall Guys to the world of Battle Royale, unvaults a classic weapon, and removes the Pirates content.

In Battle Royale, Where We Fallin’ starts now. Find a golden Bean Idol, take on the floating obstacle course in the sky, and bring back loot to help you get a Victory Royale. But that’s not the only Fall Guys news we’ve got for you… If you’re a creator, you can now publish the Fall Guys island of your dreams made with Fall Guys assets in UEFN and Creative.

Whether you’re a creator looking for inspiration or a player looking for some bean bedlam, you’ll find six Fall Guys islands created by Mediatonic in Discover! Check them out in the new “Fall Guys” row.

Fortnite x Fall Guys

An absolute unit of an obstacle course is casting a shadow over the Fortnite Battle Royale Island. Where We Fallin’ is live now until v31.00 on August 15!

To reach the obstacle course, you’ll need to track down one of several Bean Idols hidden in the Classy Courts area. We say they’re hidden, but they’re hard to miss. They’re tall. They’re shiny. They’re very… beany.

You have three attempts to set a time per Battle Royale match, but you can only complete the course once per match. If you complete the course within the 120-second time limit, you’ll be awarded gameplay loot to help you with the rest of the match:

• Complete the course in less than 50 seconds for “Gold Tier” loot.
• Complete the course between 50 and 80 seconds for “Silver Tier” loot.
• Complete the course between 80 and 120 seconds for “Bronze Tier” loot.
  

For your Bean’s safety, we’re obliged to tell you that the course is strictly off-limits once the Storm has overtaken it...

In the obstacle course, you’ll notice some changes to your appearance as your Fortnite Outfit morphs into a Fall Guys Bean! How this Bean looks will depend on the Outfit you have equipped, and you’ll find bean-spoke looks for some of the most iconic Fortnite Outfits such as Brite Bomber, Fishstick, and Jonesy the Secondst. Your Fall Guys Bean will return to its Fortnite version once you’re back on the Island!

Just a heads-up: If your equipped Outfit is not an original Fortnite character, your Bean will be a preset “default” Bean.

And another heads-up: Costumes from Fall Guys don’t transfer over to Fortnite. The Bean look is only applied to your existing Fortnite Outfits!

Minigun Unvaulted

The classic Minigun has returned to Battle Royale with v30.40, now available in Rare, Epic, and Legendary Rarities. The weapon has been slightly updated with the following:

• Increased accuracy
• New animations
• Projectile-based shooting

With the return of the Minigun, the Flint-Knock Pistol, Buried Treasure, and Ship in a Bottle items have been vaulted.
