This Season of Fortnite may not be the flashiest update we’ve ever seen, but there’s more to discover than meets the eye...much like the dense and mysterious jungle that now covers part of the Island! Though the structural changes to the map are subtle, we’re seeing familiar locations in a whole new light, with unique mechanics and challenging obstacles shaking up our play. The new ways to move are a major highlight of this wild new Season. Effortlessly rail grind along winding vines to make a stealthy escape, or slip and slide through a puddle of mud to close the distance between you and your target. The rugged terrain can be either friend or foe, concealing magic plants with the power to heal or damage you instantly. You can even hatch, raise and ride Raptor dinosaurs into battle! And as always, we have an awesome Battle Pass filled with Outfits, Styles, Pickaxes and other amazing cosmetics to unlock—including a glorious Optimus Prime skin with matching bling, weapons and accessories. With so many incredible new features, we can’t help but wonder what sorts of changes we’ll see in the next few months. A mystical aura has settled over the Island, and the ancient jungle ruins reveal new secrets around every corner. Venture into uncharted territory and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

SHAKING IT UP
INTO THE WILDS
NEW SKINS! • As always, this Season’s Battle Pass comes with a colorful cast of characters for you to unlock. Most of these are original Fortnite creations, but we do have one collab skin: the ultrapowerful Optimus Prime!

BLING, EMOTICONS & CONTRAILS
GLIDERS, MUSIC & PICKAXES
BONUS REWARDS • There are even more items for you to unlock, both within the Battle Pass and beyond!
QUICK LANDING GUIDE • This Season introduces three new Points of Interest, but that isn’t where the changes end. The center of the Island has sunken far below the surface, creating a deep valley that can be difficult to escape from. Even on higher ground, the vast crater is a massive obstacle that completely changes how we move around the map!
CREEKY COMPOUND • This industrial Compound seems to have been emptied out, leaving behind oddly vacant shipping containers and storage facilities. Lucky for you, there’s still plenty of loot to collect!
RUMBLE RUINS • This majestic complex of timeworn buildings is an adventure all on its own, containing strange relics, untold history…and a treasure trove of epic loot, of course!
SHADY STILTS • This humble village of wooden bungalows rests within a verdant valley and is built atop ancient ruins. The waterside community looks charming from a distance, but look out—it can be a death trap!
NEW LANDMARKS • Along with the three named Points of Interest, the new jungle biome is filled with plenty of landmarks for you to explore as you play.
IMPORTANT ALLIES • There are 16 new characters to meet around the Island this Season—these are the three we visit most often.
WEAPONS • Our arsenal hasn’t changed too much since last Season, but there are a few new options to play around with. The Flapjack Rifle is a lot of fun, while the Cybertron Cannon is incredible at destroying structures (and players). Best of all is the Kinetic Boomerang—we just can’t get enough!
PREPARE FOR A PIRATE INVASION! • This Season of Save the World has multiple questlines and so much to offer—not only will you defend the Homebase from pirates in Yarrr’s Return, but you can also collect some extra items in the last weeks of Survive the Horde!
