Fortnite Update 12.40 Adds UAV to Players' Radars

Fortnite Update 12.40 added a UAV feature to the game Wednesday changing up how the game will be played moving forward.

Epic Games recently stopped releasing Fortnite patch notes when updates come out leaving fans to search through the game for what's changed. It's a time-inducing process that requires the community to come together to find everything. One change in the latest patch though hasn't been hard to find and is rather game changing.

Fortnite Update 12.40 Adds UAV to Players' Radars

Fortnite Update 12.40 has apparently added a UAV to the game. It's not necessarily the same as a UAV killstreak found in Call of Duty: Warzone, but players are appearing on the compass and mini-map when shooting.

Previously players had to use sound and visual cues to locate enemy gunfire. Now, it seems Epic Games wants to reduce the time it takes to locate nearby enemies and speed up games.

The exact intricacies of the radar feature haven't been detailed yet, but regardless it's a game-changing feature to Fortnite. Some complain it reduces the skill gap, others praise how it'll speed up games and reduce camping.
