Epic Games continues its torrential update shower with yet another patch for Fortnite. These patches are a welcome sight, however, because they always seem to add a new item to the mix. Today, patch 2.4.0 was released, bringing a minigun into the mix.

In Battle Royale, the minigun can be used to control the battlefield with firepower alone. Sure, you can’t move around as swiftly while spraying and praying, but what are the chances you’re going to miss your target with that many bullets flying towards them?

Additionally, Save the World mode gets the Cozy Campfire, which was originally just in Battle Royale. It heals any ally nearby for 2 HP a second for 25 seconds.

This update for Fortnite also addresses the issue Epic Games put on the top of their radar at the request of a fan. The autorun feature is now able to be turned off and on by double-clicking the left thumbstick.

Lastly, new expedition types have been added to Save the World. This includes People Runs, which is a free to run expedition that allows you to gather a small amount of the “people” resource for your fort, and Trap Runs, which allows the gathering of traps. Epic has also made balance changes to existing expeditions, asking fans for feedback on the changes.

The last update to Fortnite introduced the Chug Jug, which completely heals players completely with the tradeoff of taking 15 seconds of uninterrupted chugging to complete.
