Epic launches weekly patches for Fortnite, and this week’s launch is patch v5.40, which delivers all the changes, adjustments and new additions it has made for the Battle Royale and Save the World modes. So that players can get a sneak peek at an upcoming in-game Fortnite event. Herein we’ll explore main changes the patch brings to the game.

High Stakes event features a heist theme. Four safes have been loaded into supply drops scattered around the island, each carrying a large jewel. You and your crew must locate a safe, pick up the prize inside and get away with the goods while battling enemies. The first four teams to make their way to a van with a jewel and getaway win. Besides, there are other challenges.

To complete those High Stakes challenge, you need a right gear. During the High Stakes event, the Wildcard outfit will be featured in the store periodically. Need a specialist? Go to 5Mmo.com, where you can buy  Cheap Fortnite Items.

In Save the World, meanwhile, there's a fresh set of new features to work on.

Horde Weekly Challenge 5 is now available:
In CHWHC, players must defend their forts against "buff Husks," which are hard to defeat, and bat players away with strong “knockbacks," according to Epic. Players will receive 1,500 gold for their first successful completion of this week's challenge, and the customary grip of event tickets for each subsequent completion.This challenge is also repeatable for Event Tickets.

New Mega Alerts now show up on all group missions.
Mega Alerts are a new type of mission alert, which grant survivors or schematics, evolution materials, perk materials, or XP, in "considerably higher" quantities than standard mission alerts. These rewards can be earned three times every 24 hours.

Mega Alerts combine modifiers from Mutant Storm missions with Elemental Storm effects and a mini-boss, to really ram-jam-cram a bunch more mega into the level.The amounts granted are considerably higher than normal Mission Alerts.

Harvester Fiona
Our new hero this week is Harvester Fiona, which is Save the World's port of Battle Royale's Whiteout skin, which debuted a couple weeks ago. She isn't really new new though, even by Save the World standards, as she's just a reskin of Harvester Sarah, with all the same abilities and perks.

There are still a host of adjustments in Fortnite update 5.40, but the High Stakes event and Grappler are the most important changes. Players who complete three different High Stakes Challenges will be rewarded 5,000 XP themed sprays, a Pickaxe and a special money trail when leaving the Battle Bus. The Grapple equips combants with the ability of hoping into Rifts and zip around from object to object, making Fortnite’s already fast-paced combat that much more exciting.
