New Map Locations and POIs

Dusty Divot

The massive crater in the center of the map has now been filled in and replaced by a new location called Dusty Divot. This new area features a mix of buildings, vehicles and terrain that provide ample cover and loot opportunities. The buildings have multiple floors that require exploration to find all available chests and weapons. Outside there are trucks, tractors and other abandoned vehicles that can be used strategically in combat.

Polar Peak

In the northwestern part of the map, there is a new snow-capped mountain named Polar Peak. At the summit, there is a massive fortress that towers over the surrounding snowfields. The fortress has spiral staircases leading to ramparts at multiple levels that provide excellent sniping positions. However, the height also leaves you exposed, so building protective barriers is advised. The rooms and corridors of the fortress contain chests and useful items, though some are well-hidden. Outside the fortress, the mountain slopes are treacherous but can be traversed carefully to gain a tactical advantage.

New Weapons, Items and Mechanics

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 introduces several new weapons, items, and game mechanics to discover. Players can now utilize the latest advancements to gain a tactical advantage in combat.

The Charge Shotgun

The new Charge Shotgun charges up a powerful blast by holding down the fire button. Release to unleash the energy and deal massive damage. Be warned, the charge time leaves you vulnerable, so find cover while powering up your shot. With some practice, the Charge Shotgun can be a formidable weapon.

The Crash Pad

The Crash Pad is a new mobility item that provides a useful disengage tool or way to reach higher ground. Simply throw down the pad and jump on it to launch high up and avoid fall damage. Crash Pads spawn in stacks of 1-3, so collect as many as possible for maximum height and distance.

Upgrade Benches

Upgrade Benches allow you to upgrade your weapons to higher rarities for the right price of materials. Common weapons can be upgraded all the way to Legendary, providing a way to improve your loadout without relying on loot luck. Look for Upgrade Benches in named locations and spend your materials wisely for the best upgrades.

Vehicle Modifications

Certain vehicles like the Mudflap and Prevalent can now be upgraded with modifications like a ram plow or missile launcher. Find an Upgrade Bench to spend materials on these powerful mods and gain an edge in vehicular combat. Ram through structures or blast opponents from afar, but be careful not to destroy your ride in the process!
