Fortnite OG v42.40 Update Notes

Two Rift Zones have touched down on the OG Island! Duck into Moisty Palms and blend in as a prop, or fight through the Cube Monster-infested Retail Row - and check out what’s changed in the loot pool.

Map Updates

Retail Row Returns… With Company

A Rift Zone has swallowed Mega Mall, rewinding it into Retail Row - and the Cube Monsters came with it, spawning from Obelisks scattered around the area. Destroy them to stem the tide, or carve through the Cube Monsters themselves and siphon health with every elimination.

Moisty Palms Emerges

The Reality Wave has hit Paradise Palms, transforming it into Moisty Palms - a swampy mix of desert and marsh. Crouch inside the Rift Zone and you’ll transform into a random prop. Props can still take damage, so stay on your toes!

What about that seventh rift beacon that was at the destroyed Motel? A faulty placement, or wasn't that supposed to be there just yet?

The pumpkin launcher is a reskin of the RPG, and considering OG Season X happend before Fortnitemares in 2019, I doubt they would bring that back even though Fortnitemares is going on rn in BR
