With every patch or update implemented into Fortnite: Battle Royale, comes a plethora of new, unreleased cosmetics. It has become a tradition that leakers enter the game files following each patch in search of new skins and items via datamining. 

In this article, we will provide you with all of the data mined cosmetics & Fortnite leaks found in Patch v12.40.

Remember, these are just the leaked Fortnite skins and cosmetics found in the most recent patch. Check out the links below if you are looking for more unreleased skins along with gameplay footage. Also, we compiled a list of Fortnite cosmetics that have been sent to the vault, never to be released.

Epic Games is stepping it up with the skin quality. All of these outfits are unique and fully detailed.

Check out the video below for exclusive in-game footage of each of these leaked Fortnite skins.

Leaked Back Blings

The majority of these back blings pair with one of the above skins. Use the Set ID to determine which back bling goes with each skin. The Back Scratcher is the only back bling without a pairing. Maybe it’ll be a free reward to compensate players for the extended season?

Deadpool looks to be getting yet another style. This one will be called “X-Force Deadpool”. This style can be used both masked and unmasked.

 

Leaked Pickaxes/Gliders

Epic Games is continuing to pump out the dual-wield pickaxes. The Psi-blade closely resembles the Energy Sword from the Halo series. Could we see a new animation with this one-of-a-kind pickaxe? The Psi-blade would look quite weird visually if it is swung like a traditional pickaxe.

 

Leaked Emotes

Three new emotes will release with Patch v12.40. Ignore the FNCS items, for now, we will touch on those later.

Check out the video below for leaked footage of these emotes in action.

A few cool new weapon skins coming out of the wrap category. Blue Shock appears to react as the weapon fires.

Following in the footsteps of other games like Rocket League, Fortnite will implement exclusive drops into the FNCS Twitch stream. Fortnite fans that tune in to the stream will earn a chance to win these exclusive items. The FNCS Finals begin on  April 17. Don’t miss it; these items may never return.

There you have it. Every single Fortnite leak found in the Patch v12.40 game files. There are no further details on these items. They could enter the shop tonight, in a week, or many months from now. Regardless, make sure you have your V-Bucks on deck for when these fresh new items finally hit the shop.
