Since Epic Games doesn&#8217;t release official patch notes anymore, we&#8217;ve got you covered with the Fortnite v15.40 patch notes, featuring new, returning LTMs, an unvaulted item, bug fixes and a look at the server downtime.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite v15.40: Server Downtime<\/h2>\n<p>The Fortnite v15.40 update will drop on 16th February at 09:00 GMT.

We expect the Fortnite v15.40 server downtime to last roughly two or three hours, which means you should be able to jump in between 11:00 and 12:00 GMT.<\/p>\n<h2>New Fortnite LTMs: Floor is Lava &amp; Air Royale<\/h2>\n<p>Epic Games brings back two fan-favourite LTMs, namely Floor is Lava and Air Royale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t been playing Fortnite for a few years now, you might not know what Floor is Lava is.
