Fortnite's Latest Update Adds Vending Machines for Convenience

A few new items of note just dropped into the latest Fortnite update, the biggest of which (literally) is a new Vending Machine item in the game that will allow you to exchange building items you have in stock for weapons, as easy as buying a bag of chips. But it's not just guns, you can get health packs and shielding jugs as well, but the machine randomly selects the rarity of the items within and how much to charge you. Save the World mode will also be getting a new item in the Easter Egg Launcher, which is basically a grenade launcher with an Easter theme. You can read the full update notes here along with all the improvements added, but if you just want weapons info we have that details for you below.
