Fortnite update 10.40.1 is officially live, and, as predicted by its version number, it doesn't do much. The small download prepares for Out of Time Challenges on Thursday and unvaults the Flint-Knock Pistol. Read the full patch notes below courtesy of an Epic Games blog post.

Performance
General CPU optimizations for Nintendo Switch. This is to improve the framerate in heavy scenes. Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur from checking a player's platform. (Most common in Save the World.) Fixed a crash on mobile platforms that would sometimes occur from backgrounding the application and returning to the foreground. Resolved stability issues on PlayStation 4 and PC. With these patch notes in mind, Fortnite update 10.40.1 is more or less useless with the exception of a few key bug fixes across all modes. Unlike previous weeks, there are no major leaks to look out for or discoveries to see. That being said, we suspect there's probably some level of preparation for the end of Season 10 to be found in these files. Perhaps the most interesting detail in these notes is outside the game itself. Now that Season 10 is a week longer than expected, players will have plenty of time to complete the Out of Time missions when they launch on Thursday.
It also means, however, that there may be one more big update in store for fans as Season 10 comes to a close. As fans look toward Fortnite's next big live event, might Epic have some surprises up its sleeve that leakers have yet to find? Given how creative these developers have been in the past, nothing is outside the realm of possibility. Fortnite doesn't change much with update 10.40.1 but we hope you like messing around with the Flint-Knock again.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile.
