Fortnite Grapple Gloves

Swing your way around the island with Fortnite Grapple Gloves from one of these locations.

Although characters are no longer involved with distributing Fortnite quests, it still pays to know their locations as they’ll give you useful items for free when you meet, as well as selling services such as fighting alongside you as your personal bodyguard or forecasting the next storm circle to give you a head start over your opponents. If you want to benefit from their abilities, then you’ll need to know where to find these 29 different NPCs. We should also highlight that currently Fortnite Darth Vader isn’t on the official characters list, so follow our separate guide if you want to take them on in battle.

Fortnite characters accept payment in the form of Fortnite gold bars, which you can spend with them on weapons, items, and useful intel. Because the world of Fortnite is so large you might not stumble upon them by accident, so follow our guide to all of the Fortnite characters locations and you’ll be meeting up with these elusive NPCs in no time.

Fortnite Characters locations

(opens in new tab)

There are currently 29 Fortnite characters to find around the island, and you can keep track of the ones you’ve met so far by visiting the Collections tab on the Quests screen. They all only spawn in one specific location each which makes them easier to find, so we’ve marked all of the Fortnite characters locations we’ve encountered on the map. Bear in mind that when characters are bunched up in an area (such as Shroom Chalet or The Joneses) then they may not all spawn in the same match, and if another player has already hired or eliminated them then that will remove the character from the location.

You’ll know when you’re close to one as you’ll see a speech bubble icon on your map, as well as on your screen above their head which you can see through walls. Interact with them and the first time you meet you’ll add them to your Collection, with a confirmation appearing on screen. This list shows where all of the Fortnite characters can be discovered:

Fortnite creative codes are a huge part of Fortnite alongside Battle Royale and Save The World. You can dive into an almost limitless selection of community-created maps and modes that play with the basic mechanics and sandbox of Fortnite in different ways. There are variations on the normal Battle Royale mode, deathmatches, obstacles courses, and other PvE modes, all created by other players.

Best Fortnite Creative Codes

To play one of these creative code games, navigate to the ‘Island Code’ tab of the mode selection screen and then enter the 12-digit number code and you should be taken to the page for the creative code map. From there, you can play, favorite, and support the creator. This month, there are some great PvP modes available, and a few are included here, but if you can also find some less competitive modes if you just want to have a more relaxing time.

Sundek: The Bay of the Sun

Fortnite Indiana Jones

Complete the new Fortnite Indiana Jones quests too

If you’re looking to cool off and enjoy some minigames on the beach, Sundek should be able to help you out. This resort paradise has archery, quad bike races, surfing races, parkour, and even a rollercoaster. If you can get a few friends together, this’ll be a good mode to hop into and compete in a minigame tournament.

• Players: Up to 16

Seaside Island

If you’re looking for something a bit more serious compared to Sundek, you’ll want to try Seaside Island. This vast map features all kinds of minigames, including a zombie invasion mode on the beach. It also incorporates more life simulator elements and allows you to go fishing, harvest tomatoes, water plants, and chop trees.

With global warming heating up the ice caps, sea levels are rising and flooding parts of the world! That’s the (slightly too real) premise of H2O Royale – a fast-paced 24-player battle royale that takes place on an urban map that is slowly being flooded as the match goes on. As the water rises, you’ll be forced out of buildings and onto the open water or the rooftops. Last person standing takes the W.

We’ve put together this useful Fortnite beginner’s guide as a reference point to give you all the basics you need, so you’ll have a solid foundation to build upon once you glide down to the island. We’ve leaned on the hundreds of hours collective experience earned by our crack team of Fortnite experts, to bring you what we believe will be the most useful information about how to play Fortnite, so you’ll be fully locked and loaded when you take your seat aboard the battle bus alongside 99 opponents.

How to play Fortnite for absolute beginners

The game continues to evolve with Fortnite Season 3, and although the island has changed significantly over the years the core mechanics are generally still the same – so this Fortnite beginner’s guide will help lead you in the right direction towards your first Victory Royale. Read on for plenty of Fortnite tips and tricks that will demonstrate how to play Fortnite to your strengths, so take your seat on the battle bus, thank the driver, and get ready to leap into battle…

1. You can’t take the things you pick up on Spawn Island with you

When you spawn into Spawn Island you’ll see guns, ammo, and building materials scattered around just waiting to be grabbed. And you can grab them – but they won’t come with you into the Fortnite map. Treat Spawn Island as a practise area for how to play Fortnite, although you’ll probably only be there for a minute at most while the game fills up with 100 players. You can shoot anyone in the vicinity but the guns won’t do any damage, or if you’re being a temporary pacifist, try your hand at building a quick sniping hut (more details on how to do that below in point 8). 

2. Wait as long as possible to drop from the Battle Bus

The Battle Bus’ horn will honk as soon as you’re able to drop from it onto the map below, but resist the urge to join the crowd of players who leap from it asap. Instead wait until there’s about 3 seconds to go before the Battle Bus reaches the end of its flight path, then leap out. You’ll have little to no players to compete with for landing spots, which means there’s a smaller chance of getting gunned in the face in your first two minutes of the match and less competition for loot. Aim towards a house or structure when you’re gliding as there’s a high chance of a chest being inside it, or at the very least some basic loot. Just hit the roof with your pickaxe to get in. Speaking of the glider…

3. Your glider deploys automatically

When you’re plummeting down from the Battle Bus, there is no way to make your glider deploy later as it automatically opens when you reach a certain height over the ground below. That’s all there is to it. It only folds up once you’ve landed, so just stay patient and make a beeline for the nearest structure.

4. Drink small shield potions before glugging a large one

Around the map you’ll find both small and large blue bottles, which give you 25 shield and 50 shield respectively if you use your right trigger to drink them (the same button you use for firing your gun). Once you have 50 or higher shield you can’t consume any more small bottles, so make sure to drink them first so you don’t have them burning up a slot in your inventory. You can chug large shield potions no matter the level your shield is at, so if you only have one of them go ahead: pop the lid, and gulp it down asap.

5. Assault rifles or SMGs are good beginner weapons

As a general rule, stick to assault rifles or SMGs when you’re first figuring out how to play Fortnite. Sniper rifles are useless under 75 metres, so although you’ll want to keep one handy do not use it in close quarters combat unless you absolutely have to. Another thing to bear in mind when you’re figuring out how to play Fortnite is if/when you’re shooting someone up close and personal, you’ll want to prioritise your shotgun. Shotguns – surprise surprise – do a ton of damage and are good for one-hit kills, so keep one in your hands when you’re exploring houses, basements, or any other small spaces.

6. Pay attention to the rarity scale

Grey guns are the most common, with green, blue, purple, and gold being the ascending order of rarity. Gold guns are incredibly powerful, so don’t pass them up if you see them lying around. Hit Up on the D-pad to bring up your inventory, and if you hover over the guns you’ll be able to see how much damage they do if you’re having trouble deciding which to keep. 

7. Play with headphones on

Make sure you have a pair of decent headphones nestled on your ears, as hearing the sound of footsteps (or, more likely, gunshots) and being able to figure out what direction they’re coming from can be the difference between life and respawning in Fortnite. Knowing which direction players are coming from gives you valuable seconds to prepare, whether that’s switching to a shotgun or building a quick bit of cover.

8.  Build cover before you heal

While I’m on the subject of building, always, always, always build walls around you before you start to heal. Both healing and drinking shield potions take valuable seconds to consume (up to 10 seconds for a large healing kit), during which time you can’t move around, shoot, or do anything really except for twirl the camera. Which means you’re very vulnerable indeed, so those walls will stop any bullets connecting with your face. Walls can also clip into cliffs and hills, so there’s no need to find an empty bit of land.

9. There’s fall damage above three storeys

This isn’t Borderlands: falling from a substantial height (above three storeys, to be precise – that’s three of the standard walls one above the other) will take a chunk of your health, so either build ramps downwards or try to slide down hills or cliffs. 

10.  Always try to get the upper ground in a fight

When things start to get sticky and you find yourself in a gunfight with one of the 100 people running around the map, you want to be as high as possible. No, not in that way. Make sure you are above your opponent either by building ramps up into the sky, or by jumping repeatedly (which has the added bonus of making you harder to hit). A good strategy is to build four walls around yourself in a square, then build a ramp up to the wall facing your enemy. This’ll provide you with a good sniping platform that you can retreat down when you’re reloading. Just repeat the building formula upwards (jump to build below your feet) until you’re in a makeshift tower and have the upper hand – and gun, and grenade, and so forth…

11. Keep grenades, bandages, or shield potions in your inventory

It’s worth having at least one of the above items in your toolbar. Grenades are a great way to destroy some of your opponent’s cover, especially if you aim for the lowest part of their structure. Once the lowest level is destroyed, the rest of it will come tumbling down, leaving them out in the open and ready for your hail of bullets. Extra healing and shields will come in handy for when you’re backed into a corner but aren’t ready to give up, or you can share them with your squadmate if they’re in need of some first aid sharpish. 

12. Don’t destroy trees completely

Using your pickaxe to destroy trees is an essential way to get wood for building materials, but do not destroy trees completely. Instead stop when the tree has 50 health left on its hitbar, as leaving a trail of destroyed vegetation in your wake makes it incredibly easy for other players to follow your tracks and hunt you down. 

13. There are no longer different types of bombs

In the past we’ve had all sorts of different bombs to try out – smoke bombs, boogie bombs, stink bombs, shadow bombs – which all became a bit tricky to keep track of. However, things have been massively simplified in Chapter 3 as there are now only standard grenades available, and we all know how they work. Time will tell if different varieties of bomb start to return to the game, but for now there’s just good old fashioned grenades to throw.

14. Make sure you’ve selected the right mode from the lobby

When you boot up the game it’s automatically going to try and drop you into a squad with all the slots filled by random players. You may well want to go solo or drop into a duo instead, so just toggle the game mode first. It’ll say just above “Play!” whatever mode you’re in. 

15. Crouching minimises the noise your feet make

Sneaky is as sneaky does, and being stealthy can be a great way to edge yourself closed to that coveted Battle Royale. Keeping yourself hidden is part of the trouble, but if you move while crouched you’ll move much more quietly than if you run. It’s a very useful trick if you can hear someone nearby, because you can manoeuvre yourself into a better hiding place before they come after you. 

16. You have to buy the Battle Pass to get the majority of the rewards

Although there are some perks available without spending a single dime, if you want to get the best skins and other items you’ll need the Battle Pass. It costs 950 V-Bucks, meaning you’ll need to buy the smallest V-Bucks bundle, at $9.99 / £7.99. After that it’s just a case of playing and ticking off as many quests as you can to start earning yourself some gear. 

17. You can break (almost) anything with your pickaxe

If you think you’ve got stuck in a building or built yourself inside a construction, don’t fret. You can break (almost) anything with your pickaxe, so just start smashing your way out. But be careful, that little red circle icon that pops up means you’re making noise and anyone nearby will hear it, so take your time escaping your current conundrum. 

18. You can change your skin, stickers, and emotes in the locker

All the skins, banner icons, gliders, harvesting tools, loading screen, contrails, emotes, dances, sprays and more all live in your Locker. You can switch them in and out from here before every match, but you won’t be able to change any of it in match, so make sure you’re happy with your look and your equipped items before you drop. 

19. Use Battle Lab mode to familiarise yourself with the map

One of the key aspects to improving at Fortnite is learning the map. Jumping into public games and fighting against 99 other players each time can get quite tiresome if you’re not succeeding, so hop into Battle Lab mode then choose Create A Battle Lab to explore the map to your heart’s content. You have free rein of the battle royale island, from Slurpy Swamp to Steamy Stacks and everywhere in between. All possible chests and vehicles are guaranteed to spawn in Battle Lab too, so you can learn where each chest is likely to be and familiarise yourself with your favourite locations.

20. Get into the habit of harvesting materials as you run

While the player with the best aim will usually come out on top in a fight, building is absolutely key to give yourself the biggest advantage possible. To build though, you need to have materials which can only be obtained through harvesting materials. Wood is the most common and you can destroy everything from trees and bushes to chairs and wardrobes. Test out which structures give you the most materials then harvest them as you run from one location to the next to give yourself maximum resources.

While Imperial Stormtroopers have terrible aim in the films, that doesn’t mean you should arrive at whichever Imperial site Vader is at without expecting a fight. We highly recommend that you land at a nearby POI or Landmark to scavenge a bit of loot – a solid gun and some shields at the very least – before moving on to tackle Vader.

How to beat Fortnite Darth Vader

Fortnite Grapple Gloves

Pair Fortnite Grapple Gloves with Vader’s Lightsaber to quickly get in close and attack your foes.

Now that you’ve armed up and are ready to take on the Sith Lord, approach the Imperial Docking Bay where Vader’s shuttle is, and you’ll be quickly spotted by Vader and his Stormtroopers. To defeat Darth Vader, you just need to shoot him a lot. He has a shield that must be broken first and then you can start wearing down his health. Explosions are difficult for Darth to block, so grenades can be a useful weapon in this fight.

Be aware that, while he can move with surprising bursts of speed and his Lightsaber attacks are fast and brutal in some cases. You’ll want to stay out of his Lightsaber’s melee range but watch out for his saber-throw and Force attacks – a bit of cover can block those. He can also block a lot of your shots with ease, so make sure you don’t waste too much ammo. However, he’ll be sure to fall after absorbing enough bullets.

How to get Darth Vader’s Lightsaber and Star Wars weapons in Fortnite

Once you’ve defeated Darth Vader, he’ll turn into the useful shower of loot, which includes his iconic red Lightsaber. Pick it up and you can become a master of evil as it goes right into your regular inventory slots for use in the heat of battle. Switch to this Fortnite melee weapon when close to your foes to perform some acrobatic Lightsaber strikes and cut them down. Just like Vader, you can also throw the Lightsaber for ranged damage and block to reduce the damage you take. 

While Vader is tough, his Lightsaber is totally worth it, but you can get another decent Star Wars weapon from his Stormtrooper guards. Knock all of them down and they’ll be eliminated, leaving behind a bit of loot and their Mythic E-11 Blasters. You’ll also find this blaster, as well as other useful loot, in Imperial crates scattered around Vader’s landing site. The E-11 is a good close-to-medium range weapon that’s especially useful for its infinite ammo, so it’s well worth picking one up alongside Darth Vader’s Lightsaber. 

Do note that both of these Star Wars weapons can also be looted from defeated players that had them in their inventory, so you don’t even have to fight Darth Vader or a Stormtrooper to get their weapons!

What is the Fortnite Omega Knight’s Level Up Quest Pack

The Fortnite Omega Knight’s Level Up Quest Pack is a bundle you can purchase from the Item Shop for 1,200 V-bucks, which immediately adds the Omega Knight outfit to your locker. More importantly, it also unlocks weekly quests to find Fortnite Level Up Tokens, which can boost you a total of 28 levels through the battle pass. This represents great value for money, as to purchase that many levels directly through the battle pass would normally cost you 4,200 V-bucks, or 2,300 V-bucks using the once per season 25 level bundle discount.

Fortnite Level Up Tokens Week 1 Locations

The Fortnite Level Up Tokens locations for week 1 are as follows:

• Collect Level Up Token northwest of Logjam Lumberyard

Each of the Fortnite Level Up Tokens you collect will advance you one level through the battle pass, without losing any of your current progress – this means that if you were at Level 89 and 10,000XP away from Level 90 for example, collecting a token would promote you to Level 90 and 10,000XP away from Level 91. In addition to that, you’ll also receive the following rewards in your locker:

• Purchase the pack: Omega Knight outfit
• Collect 7 Level Up Tokens: Knight’s Torment back bling

Fortnite Sensor Backpack locations

When The Origin sends you to pick up a Fortnite Sensor Backpack, there are two locations where you can find this temporary back bling, which are as follows:

1. Between Camp Cuddle, Tilted Towers, and Greasy Grove
2. Between Tilted Towers, Greasy Grove, and Rocky Reels

To collect the sensor backpack, simply approach the glowing item and then follow the prompt to equip it. Either of these Fortnite Sensor Backpack locations will work fine, though if you use the first one which is more to the west it will help you avoid the battle currently raging around Tilted Towers, as you move on to the next part of this quest.

How to find a Fortnite energy fluctuation around Loot Lake

Once you have the Fortnite Sensor Backpack equipped, make your way to Loot Lake then pay attention to the beeps and flashes coming from it. These will speed up as you get closer to one of the three possible Fortnite energy fluctuations around Loot Lake, which are located in these positions:

1. Between a couple of trees on the northwest coast of Loot Lake
2. Next to a big boulder on the southwest coast of Loot Lake
3. Under the orange-leafed trees on the southeast coast of Loot Lake

When you get close enough to one of the energy fluctuations around Loot Lake, you’ll see an orange glow emerge from the ground in waves, then you just need to stand on top of it before following the prompt to scan the Fortnite energy fluctuation and complete this quest.

How to fall 10 stories without taking damage in Fortnite

There are two methods that will allow you to fall 10 stories or more without taking damage in Fortnite, and the first involves ziplines. When you jump off a zipline while riding along it, your character will be protected by a glowing aura as you fly through the air, which negates any fall damage when you hit the ground.

Most ziplines don’t extend high enough to provide a 10 story fall when you jump off, but the ones connected to the IO Airships above Imagined Order controlled POIs will do the trick if you hop off the top of them. At the time of writing these blimps are found in the following locations, though you can always confirm their current presence by looking at the map as they are shown on there:

• Command Cavern
• Coney Crossroads
• Rocky Reels
• Tilted Towers

The other way you can fall 10 stories or more without taking damage in Fortnite is to land in water, and between the various lakes, rivers, oceans, and even swimming pools you have plenty of options to choose from. Simply grab some materials then build a ramp at least 10 units tall, before jumping off the top and making a soft landing in the water below. Just make sure the water is deep enough to float in first, as if it’s too shallow (or you miss your target) then you’ll be instantly eliminated by the fall damage when you crash down.

Fortnite Mole Team Drill Sites locations

There are currently five Fortnite Mole Team Drill Sites locations that we’ve identified, and if the Imagined Order connection needed confirming further then check out the first letters of the codenames for each site:

• Mole Team: Omega – snowy valley just to the east of Logjam Lumberyard
• Mole Team: Ryder – southeast of Greasy Grove on the edge of the desert
• Mole Team: Dash – clearing directly north of The Daily Bugle
• Mole Team: Epsilon – area south of Coney Crossroads
• Mole Team: Raven – by a dirt track to the west of The Joneses

How to interact with a computer terminal at Mole Team Drill Sites

To interact with a computer terminal at Fortnite Mole Team Drill Sites, you need to look for the tent covered area close to the digging machine. Inside that tent near a chest and stack of crates you’ll see the computer terminal, which you need to approach and follow the interact prompt to complete this quest – using the terminal will also highlight all enemies and chests in the surrounding area for a short time, so it’s worth considering using this as a tactical option during regular gameplay. It would be a sensible option to take out the patrolling Fortnite IO Guards before attempting this, as they can deal high amounts of damage to you at close range and you may get eliminated before you have chance to use the computer terminal.

How to receive your next objective at any Mole Team then destroy IO Equipment to collect Electronic Parts

To receive your next objective at any Mole Team, you just need to head to any of the live Fortnite Mole Team Drill Sites indicated above, at which point you’ll hear a message outlining part two of this task. To destroy IO Equipment to collect Electronic Parts, smash up any of the equipment items dotted around the drill site – the satellite dish masts are a good bet – then interact with the Electronic Parts that drop out to collect them until you hit your target.

The post Where to find Fortnite Mole Team Drill Sites appeared first on Game News.

As the event is drawing to a close soon, most players will already have opened these 12 presents, as well as claiming two additional rewards for completing various festive quests in Fortnite, but thanks to an outstanding Winterfest notification in the menu they are now searching for the 15th present in Fortnite. If you’ve been looking for that final elusive gift too, then here’s what we know about the last present in Fortnite.

Why are players looking for the Fortnite lodge last present

Each day over the course of the Winterfest event, players received a notification that a new gift was ready to open in the lodge, which was intended to guide everyone through the 12 packages (plus two additional rewards) available. However, after unwrapping all of the available gifts, players noticed that they still had one notification showing that a Fortnite lodge last present was left over. With no parcels remaining in the lodge to interact with, everyone is now asking where to find the 15th present in Fortnite.

What have Epic said about the 15th present in Fortnite

Already opened all your presents but still see one extra present left to open? Sit tight, we’re working on that. 🎁December 29, 2021

Back on December 29, 2021, Epic acknowledged the missing Fortnite lodge last present issue via the @FortniteStatus (opens in new tab) Twitter account. There, they told players that if they still have a present notification outstanding, they should “sit tight, we’re working on that.” Now, this could just mean they’re working on a fix to remove the extra present notification, but it’s much more likely that they’ll release a final additional gift to players and keep everyone happy.

What will the last present in Fortnite lodge be

At this point, we can’t say what the Fortnite lodge last present will be, or even confirm for definite that an additional reward will be provided. However, as the Winterfest event is due to come to an end on January 6, we should have an answer to this question soon, so watch out for updates later this week.

 Fortnite Chapter 3 has a completely new map 

The island has flipped over to reveal a totally new Fortnite map on the other side, with three distinct biomes to explore. The whole western half of the island is covered in snow, and contains some familiar locations from the past such as Greasy Grove and Shifty Shafts – we’ve also been promised that when some of this snow melts later to uncover the grassland beneath, a hidden secret will be revealed. There’s also the tropical biome to the east, which contains The Seven’s home of Sanctuary, and the desert biome on the south coast featuring an extensive racetrack and a return of Mancake’s Butter Barn landmark.

A new arsenal of weapons and consumables are available in Fortnite Chapter 3

Fortnite new weapons available for the start of the season include the Range Assault Rifle, MK-Seven Assault Rifle, Striker Pump Shotgun, Auto Shotgun, Sidearm Pistol, Stinger SMG, and Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper, though most other weapons are now safely stored back in the vault. There are also some fresh items, such as the Med-Mist spray that can be used on yourself or a teammate to heal, and the amount of spray you apply determines how much health you (or they) recover. Guzzle Juice can also be consumed to return your HP to 100 over time, but if you take any damage from an opponent then the healing will stop, so avoid your enemies while it’s in effect.

You can now go camping in Fortnite Chapter 3

One of the big new changes for Fortnite Chapter 3 is the addition of Tents, which you can use to set up camp then pop inside to heal up by resting. You can also stash up to three items in a tent, which can then be reclaimed in a future match by constructing a new Tent or taking over a deserted one, and although the first two slots are free you’ll need to rent the third one using Bars. Teammates can interact with your Tent to buy their own by spending Bars, and you can also pack up your Tent and move it to a new location at any time.

Victory Crowns can be worn to unlock Crowned Victory Royales

If you place highly enough during a match – top player in Solos, or top team in Duos, Trios, or Squads – then you’ll start the next match wearing the Fortnite Victory Crown, however this will shine and stand you out to other players who will take your crown if they eliminate you. Carrying the crown will net you bonus XP, and if you win while in possession of one you’ll earn a coveted Crowned Victory Royale, along with a new emote that reveals how many Crowned Victory Royales you’ve collected in the season.

There are new ways to get around in Fortnite Chapter 3

Sliding is a new mechanic to help you get around, and holding the crouch button while sprinting is how to slide in Fortnite. You can still shoot or build while sliding, and it’s a particularly efficient method of getting downhill. From December 11 you’ll also be able to get your hands on the Fortnite Spider-Man Web Shooters, which can be used to swing between buildings like Spidey himself. While down but not out in team modes you can now crawl faster, pick up items, open chests and doors, and manage your inventory, to help you escape to safety more quickly and reach your teammates for a revive. Quadcrashers have returned from the vault, to provide an off-road travel option that’s also great for barreling through opponents’ structures thanks to the ram on the front.

There are new types of Quests to beat in Fortnite Chapter 3

You can now find Daily, Season, and Milestone Quests in the menu, along with questlines for certain characters you unlock through the Battle Pass. As well as earning XP for each one you complete, you’ll also receive additional XP for bonus goals by ticking off a certain number of quests. If you head to the Sanctuary named location and communicate through The Device, you’ll receive further quests from The Scientist that will extend beyond the current season to unlock the secrets of The Seven.

Fortnite Chapter 3 has a bigger emphasis on teamwork

Working together with your squad can now make things go faster, such as reviving a downed teammate or activating a Reboot Van. There are also Fortnite vaults hidden around the island that require more than one player to unlock, so you’ll need to visit them with your team, try to form an alliance with an opponent, or hire one of the Fortnite characters to get inside and see what’s buried within.

The Fortnite Chapter 3 Battle Pass has a new cast of characters

Included in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 Battle Pass are a number of new skins to unlock and add fresh characters to your roster, which include:

• Immediate unlock: The “Lotus Walker” Shanta
• Page 1: The wanderer Ronin
• Page 3: The no-nonsense Lt. John Llama
• Page 5: The Island-raised and Island-defending Haven
• Page 6: The flavor-synthetic but attitude-authentic Gumbo
• Page 8: The optimistic outlaw Harlowe
• Page 9: The superhero Spider-Man

Later on in the Season, around February 3, 2022, the leader of The Seven – The Foundation, played by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – will unlock with a set of quests to earn his items. There will also be new Spider-Men, along with friends and foes, appearing in the Item Shop for purchase during the season.

Weather effects are arriving later in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1

They haven’t been implemented yet, but we’re told that later in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 the Storm circle will be accompanied by other effects. These will include lightning strikes that may damage players or the scenery, and tornadoes that can suck up and spin around players before spitting them out.

There may be new dinosaurs added in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1

Looking at other things to come later in the season, a new addition to the wildlife living on the island has been suggested. Details are scarce, but it is rumored to be quite large, and it is thought that the Raptors haven’t returned to the new island as they’ve been scared off by this beast. One of the promotional images for Fortnite Chapter 3 shows what appears to be a giant dinosaur, so perhaps we’ll be hunting that down in the future.
