In the Fortnite Battle Royale v22.40 update, a new vehicle has driven to paradise: Rocket League’s Octane! When you’re not behind the wheel, launch into the air with the Grapple Glider or join a large team in the Big Battle LTM.
==OCTANE’S NEWEST DESTINATION==
In v22.10, the Octane vehicle from Rocket League boosted into Fortnite for creators to rev up their islands. Now, with v22.40, Octane has boosted into Battle Royale and Zero Build. This Battle Royale/Zero Build version is balanced for these modes, but it still has rocket boosters, supersonic speed, and the ability to jump, double jump, dodge, take flight, and drive on walls!
==GLIDE TO SAFETY WITH THE GRAPPLE GLIDER==
An enemy coming right at you? Or even worse, an enemy coming right at you while they’re in an Octane? Make a swift getaway with the Grapple Glider — pull yourself into the air by aiming at a hard surface, then deploy your Glider to land in safe territory.
You can find Grapple Gliders from the ground, Chests, Chrome Chests, and Supply Drops. They have limited charges, so it’s not a bad idea to save your Grapple Glider for emergencies!
==HAVE A BIG TIME IN THE BIG BATTLE LTM==
Look around you: it’s A LOT of players on your team. In the new Big Battle Limited Time Mode, you’re in a team of 40 facing another team of 40. The match begins with the Storm already circling the first zone, and you’ll see Uncommon-rarity items already in your loadout. The result? The action starts right away in this fast-paced, Zero Build LTM. To help you defeat the other team even faster, loot in Big Battle is Rare-rarity or higher.
LTM goes live at 10 AM ET on November 15.
==EXPLORE THE BATTLE ROYALE ISLAND… OUTSIDE BATTLE ROYALE==
In the v22.30 patch, the Battle Royale Island became a "starter island" for creating your own Battle Royale experience in it, or for just wandering around. You can also jump into an experience made by someone else! With this new way to explore the Battle Royale Island, we'll be vaulting Battle Lab in v23.00.
==USE/INTERACT IMPROVEMENT ON MOBILE==
On mobile, we have completely removed the Interact icon (hand icon) from the Fire button. Specific “Use” actions will now be represented by their own icon, meaning that, for example, eating and drinking actions will have their own icon now.
==COMPETITIVE NOTES==
*Octane is not included in competitive playlists.
==MAJOR BUG FIXES==
*Fixed an issue in which some Outfits from previous Seasons’ Battle Passes were missing colors.
|-|Creative = 
The v22.40 update brings the Class Selector UI and D-Launcher devices for creators, as well as the Dial-A-Drop and Grapple Glider items to include in your experiences. Additionally, this update contains the Big Battle mode to create in your own Battle Royale Island, plus other updates and bug fixes.
==CLASS SELECTOR UI DEVICE==
The Class Selector UI device can create both a popup dialog and a new tab on the game's Map screen, displaying a list of classes players can choose from. You can have players choose a class when they spawn at the beginning of the game, or you can allow players to change their class during the game. By customizing device options, you can allow players to change their class by opening the Map screen and selecting a new class, or you can set a channel option to open the popup dialog during the game.
==D-LAUNCHER==
Three new D-Launcher devices are now available:
*D-Launcher (Standard)
*D-Launcher (Primal)
*D-Launcher (Invasion)
Adjust the launch speed and angle of D-Launchers to customize a unique trajectory for each one!
==DIAL-A-DROP CONSUMABLE==
Players can use this item to call in a Health Drop, Supply Drop, or Vehicle Drop at their location. There is a limit of five Vehicle Drops per island experience. This count is displayed in the UI and will display "Unavailable" when the limit is reached.
==GRAPPLE GLIDER==
Place this item on your island and give players the ability to make a swift getaway! They can aim at a hard surface, pull themselves up, and then deploy their Glider to travel to safe territory.
==BIG BATTLE==
Introducing a new mode: Big Battle! You can jump into the Epic-made version of this mode from the Discover screen. But you can also create a “Big Battle” yourself using the new Battle Royale Island tools available in Creative! In this mode, two teams of 40 players are provided with a standardized loadout and launched into action as soon as the match starts, with the first phase of the Storm already completed. The Storm moves quickly, and the rarity for loot in the item pool is set to Rare or higher. Try out this action-packed Zero Build, large team mode on your own Battle Royale Island.
==OTHER UPDATES==
===GALLERY UPDATES===
*New: Added the FNCS Trophy Prop Gallery.
===ISLAND TEMPLATE UPDATES===
*New: Design an Escape Room island template! Learn how to set up clues with the Button device for players to break out of locked rooms.
===OCTANE UPDATES===
*We have improved the Octane’s audio visualizer icon for better readability.
*We have improved collision consistency between Octane, other vehicles, and terrain.
*Octane now supports driving forward and backwards with a controller's left stick, like other spawned vehicles in Creative. This can be disabled using the Accelerate with Thumbstick option in the Customize panel for the Octane Spawner device.
*Octane can now briefly drive while in water, like other spawned vehicles.
*Octane will now slide down walls if the player is not accelerating, mirroring its functionality in Rocket League.

===PREFAB & GALLERY FIXES===
*Fixed an issue where items from the Collectibles Gallery were moved far from their location when they were multi-selected together.

*Fixed an issue where Octane wouldn't grant resources when hit with a Pickaxe.
|-|Save The World = 
Even though Hexslyvania is making its ghostly exit soon, the chills are just getting started with the return of the Winterfest Venture Season on November 20, 2022 at 7 PM ET! 
As the Hexslyvania Venture season finishes, make sure you complete all your questing, including that in the Eye of the Brainstorm questline to unlock the newest hero Brainstorm and the Pulse Pounder and Shooting Star weapons. Also, complete your Alien Weapon set by grabbing the Plasmatic Discharger and Third Rail from the Event Store before November 20 at 7 PM ET.
==BATTLE PASS XP UPDATE==
In the v22.40 update, we’ve added a new source of Battle Pass XP to Save the World! Specifically, the majority of Daily and Weekly Quests will now award Battle Pass XP upon completion. This includes the basic Daily and Weekly Quests, along with the following:
*Wargames Dailies (and Weekly Challenges during Mild Meadows)
*Frostnite Dailies and Weekly Challenges
*Dungeon Dailies
*Hit the Road Daily and Weekly Challenges
*New Daily Endurance Quests
Because we've shifted the majority of the XP source to Quests, you’ll notice a reduced amount of XP earned from Mission Badges, but on average, we expect players will earn Battle Pass XP more quickly than before. To maximize your XP earned, prioritize completing the available Daily/Weekly quests.
==THE WINTERFEST VENTURE SEASON MAKES ITS RETURN!==
The Winterfest Venture Season starts November 20 at 7 PM ET!
The return of Winterfest also brings the return of the Super Heroic Modifier, which gives each class super heroic benefits furthering strengthening their style of play. This Modifier applies in the Flannel Falls Venture zone and does not apply in normal campaign zones or Frostnite.
Soldiers, this is the perfect modifier to enhance those headshots! The damage of headshots is doubled and you’ll benefit from reduced cooldowns when eliminating Husks with ranged weapons. Accuracy is key!
Constructors, the one downside of building is that it uses up your hard-earned materials, right? Well that problem is reduced with this modifier! Building will cost fewer materials, and on top of that, this modifier gives Kinetic Overload a lower cooldown and greater impact!
Ninjas, a healthy blend of Melee and Ability weaving will be key with this modifier. Focus your efforts on ability eliminations to gain increased melee damage and attack speed. Use this to your advantage, as melee eliminations also reduce your ability cooldowns. You’ll gain double the Shadowstance stats with this modifier, so get in their faces and show em’ who's boss. 
Outlanders, it’s time for some punching, as Anti-Material charge will have no cost during this Ventures season. For all you T.E.D.D.Y. slingers out there, you’ll benefit from a free Fragment every 50 seconds along with increased ability damage. 
And for everyone, the winter winds have increased the Husks’ resistance to trap and weapon damage, so get ready to build a squad that can hold its own!
==FROSTNITE CHALLENGES RETURN==
===FROSTY TURF CHALLENGE===
Starting on November 28 at 7 PM ET, take on the Frosty Turf Frostnite Challenge! The weather will be extremely frigid for this week in Frostnite — don’t get cold feet as you think about the slower trap reloads and stepping on snow. 
For overcoming the Frosty Turf Challenge, you’ll unlock Tank and a unique banner:
===SURVIVE THE BITTER COLD IN FROSTNITE===
Beginning on November 20 at 7 PM ET, venture out and keep the Burner filled with scavenged BluGlo. If it runs out, things get real cold real quick. As the burner health decreases, the Storm Shield shrinks, so fill ‘er up!
The Krampus Smashers who dwell in these cold regions are dangerous but worth the fight. Why? They drop some much needed BluGlo. Check your Quest log for Frostnite rewards, such as the loading screen / music pack, and be on the lookout for Weekly Challenges in the coming weeks.
===HOLIDAY LLAMA===
This Llama looks cold on the outside, but it is filled with festive Heroes and weapons that will warm up Homebase. The Holiday Llama returns on November 20 at 7 PM ET.
===SUBZERO ZENITH===
“Let's put them on ice.” - Subzero Zenith
Subzero Zenith’s Standard Perk Icy Shot applies Water Affliction on Sniper critical hits. His Commander Perk Icy Shot+ allows you to freeze enemies for a short duration and apply Water Affliction on Sniper critcal hits. You can also decrease the duration of elemental status effects with his Team Perk Shake it Off!
==MAJOR BUG FIXES==
A number of important bug fixes were included in the v22.40 game update, including:
*The Plasmatic Discharge weapon now has the correct weapon type “Launcher.”
*Fixed an issue with the Sunbeam Grave Digger Perk that caused the Perk’s scaling to produce more damage than intended. 
**Dev Note: This fix is not designed to nerf the weapon, but to fix the scaling issue that occurred as players progressed later in the game.
*Brainstorms is now compatible with the Trick or Treat hero perk.
*Fixed an issue in which keybinds for riding wildlife could not be set correctly.
**Note: Keybinds must be set outside of a mission. We’re currently working on fixing an issue that’s preventing wildlife riding keybinds from being set while in a mission.
