Changes might not be significant now as it just started but we might notice something in a few hours/days!It has been speculated for a while that Cubetown will expand and corrupt the map. Based on recent information discovered by HYPEX, these mechanics will go live following the Fortnite downtime.It's unclear if multiple Sideways will appear due to corruption or if the map will turn orange. However, it is known that this &quot;corruption spread&quot; will stop on December 5, which is the last day of this season.2) Do something Blevin?HYPEX@HYPEXIf tonight's update is REALLY the last update of the Season, we should most likely expect an update for Blevin, unless if it's a part of the event and encrypted.

(Thanks @JjGuyy0 for reminding me) https://t.co/6V4Y9P8q5JWith the update v18.40 being the last for the season, dataminers are expecting Blevin to do something. Sadly, no information regarding the same has been uncovered.Aside from providing player shields when in contact, the Blue Cube hasn't done anything else. Hopefully, following the Fortnite downtime, leakers will be able to provide some concrete information.3) Brute and funding round fourPARIAH (VolteVaris) 🗝️ #UnvaultTheBrute@explosivepeg#FortniteSeason8 #fortnite #FortniteCubed @EpicGames @FortniteGame Might as well get it out of the way here and now so that people have enough playtime in against them before end-of-seasonTo those who didn't get the Boogie; Vote Proximity launcher.-Brute Captain3:17 AM · Nov 4, 202111#FortniteSeason8 #fortnite #FortniteCubed @EpicGames @FortniteGame Might as well get it out of the way here and now so that people have enough playtime in against them before end-of-seasonTo those who didn't get the Boogie; Vote Proximity launcher.-Brute Captain https://t.co/wXTw1bViOsBrutes should be making a comeback following the v18.40 update. They have been severely nerfed, so players shouldn't expect them to dominate the match like in the &quot;OG&quot; days.Additionally, the final fourth and final funding round should also go live following the Fortnite downtime. Flint-Knock Pistol will be pitted against the Proximity Grenade Launcher.One provides a knockback effect when used, which can be used for mobility. While the other shoots proximity grenades that explode when in range of targets. Players will have to choose wisely and select the right weapon to counter the Brute Mech.
