The latest Fortnite update brings back Wild Week with patch 39.41, where OG weapons make a return to the loot pool. Weapons like Assault Rifle (SCAR), OG Pump Shotgun (SPAS), Hunting Rifle, Suppressed SMG, and Combat Shotgun are now available in the loot pool.

As players last week witnessed The Seven Rocket Launch Event in Fortnite and the return of the heroic faction on the island, Epic has now added the MK-Seven Assault Rifle and Seven Cluster Cannon to the loot pool.
You can now find both the weapons on the island and claim them to grab a Victory Royale and quickly finish your Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass.
Rick and Morty Collab Wave 2 Drop
The latest Fortnite update brings a second wave of the Rick and Morty collab with a Pickle Rick and Prime Rick skin that players can get from the Item Shop, starting March 7. You can also stand a chance to get the Pickle Rick skin for free by participating in an in-game tourney.
Accompanying the two skins will be additional cosmetics, which also include Squanchy and Mr. Poopybutthole sidekicks.
Fortnite Returns to Google PlayStore
After Epic and Google finally resolved their ongoing dispute on microtransactions on third-party apps, Fortnite is returning to PlayStore on Android Devices.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney posted a photo on X standing near an Android logo figure, revealing the game will return gradually to PlayStore across available regions.
