Hey Fortnite community!

Wanted to give a sneak peek at some of the changes coming in this week’s v7.40 update.

Planes will no longer be able to smash through structures
Zipline interact prompt added, and using a Zipline will grant fall damage immunity
Hand Cannon structure damage reduced from 150 to 100
Turbo Build delay decreased from 0.15s to 0.05s
Rocket Launcher reload time increased from 2.52s to 3.24s
Added the ability to crouch while in Edit Mode

Stay tuned for the full patch notes when the update releases.

Is the reload time for epic or legendary RPGs? Or both?

Both. Also worth mentioning we're making a change to move Rocket Launchers out of chests - though they'll still be in Supply Drops (and a a little more available there than they are now) and Vending Machines.

I was saying like press to active rather than hold to activate (like a chest)

Yep, it's single click

what about when you have a good land off the battle bus then get caught by a zipline...

There's currently no intention to make it an option, I think you'll find it easy to use though.

Can you still fall off of something and then catch yourself with a lucky zipline?

Sure, just need to tap use on the way down...
