Battle Royale Fortnite

The Island from Chapter 2 has been flipped, revealing the new Island and turning the page to Chapter 3. Here’s a new Chapter 3 Season 1 Orientation! Consider this your guide to your new life of Fortnite Battle Royale. 1 2 3

The Places

When you go to Isle Royale, the first thing you’ll see is that the western half is a wintry biome. Maybe you’ll visit the suburbs of Greasy Grove, the industrial Logjam Lumberyard, and other locales.

Like warm weather? To the east are the tropics with coastal keys palm trees and weathered sights to see. Although the Seven have outposts all throughout the Island, the tropics are home to their home, the “Sanctuary.” This compound is right next to the coast where you can have a clear view of the sunset. view the giant rock statue of The Foundation. Speaking of huge the Daily Bugle building is also huge.

Do you like warm weather? In the south you can find a desert (some of it decorated with snow), but this desert is not devoid of interesting places. Go off-road racing at Chonker’s Speedway, revel in cozy living at Condo Canyon and something that will wet even the driest eyes “come for a visit to our desert.” Down to the Butter Barn, returning.

The bolded locations above are just some of the Island’s many locales. By the time you receive this letter, the snow will have melted to reveal grasslands underneath.

The Weapons

A fresh slate of weapons awaits you on the Island. Here’s what’s new!

Ranger Assault Rifle

The Ranger Assault Rifle is very powerful at medium range, and is quite capable at long range.

MK-Seven Assault Rifle

Built from The Seven’s technology the MK-Seven Assault Rifle is a medium- to long-range weapon with a high rate of fire. This Assault Rifle has a sight you can use while aiming. Align your target with the sight’s red dot!

If you want something even better, you must attack The Foundation. If you want the MK-Seven Assault Rifle, you must confront The Foundation for a special version of the weapon, which has a slightly faster fire rate.

Striker Pump Shotgun

The Striker Pump Shotgun shoots a lot of pellets and can deal high burst damage. Aim and strike! : Each pellet of the Striker Pump Shotgun fires a piercing, low-damage shot. Aim for enemies’ heads, breasts, or bellies. Hit an enemy’s head, breast, or belly, and the damage is doubled.

Auto Shotgun

Automatic allies that lay down serious firepower. The Auto Shotgun may not deal as much damage as the Striker Pump per shot, but it has a faster fire rate and reloads two shells at a time.

Sidearm Pistol

A highly useful weapon to have on your side, the Sidearm Pistol is an accurate weapon that deals high damage at medium range and high headshot damage at close range. Don’t underestimate it!

Stinger SMG

The Stinger SMG deals high damage to both opponents and structures. This SMG can sting at medium range more than one may expect!

Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper

The Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper is an effective way to take out opponents. It does high damage and shoots three shots per clip. If you get your shot off the first time, you get a second chance; and if you get your shot off the third time, you’re guaranteed to get a hit.

The Pastimes

Camping

With spacious and beautiful scenic routes, the Island is an ideal place for camping. Find a Tent item on the ground, then throw it down to assemble it. You can safely stash up to three items in your Tent to collect in future matches. Two item slots are available. The game will automatically assign new Tents in your inventory, and you can then rent slots of your inventory whenever you want.

Camping with friends is even more fun. If you’re in a Duos, Trios, or Squads team, have your teammates start a group campsite, so you can all enjoy the views together. Pack your Tents and take them to a new location to set up camp. Existing Tents you have in your personal inventory will remain intact. You can also leave your Tents in place if it’s late or if you want to save space.

(As you would expect, a ‘vaulted’ item will not be available if that item has been vaulted or is unavailable in the mode you’re in.)

Taking the Crown (or Seizing It)

Light one of your matches, and cover the entire matchbook — including its inside cover — with match after match. Lock the matchbook in a matchbox. Move the matchbox to a safe location — away from flammable objects — and wait a few days. When you open the matchbox, you’ll find a Victory Crown inside.

Your crown will shine in all its glory making you stand out to those seeking a Victory Crown of their own. If you win while wearing the crown you’ll get an exclusive Emote—showing off the total number of Victory Crowns you won. You will find the Crowned Victory Royale in your Available Property tab, under Epic Battles!

Victory Crowns are conferred in the solo, duos, trios and squads game modes, and winning battles also leads to them.

Solo: Top four players
Duos: Players in the top two teams
Trios: Players in the top team
Squads: Players in the top team

Update (December 9 2021): Crowns are now only conferred to the top player in Solo and the top team in Duos Trios and Squads.

Mobility Maneuvers!

Running downhill? Try sliding to up your speed and avoid enemy fire! While sliding you possess the abilities to shoot and build. Hold the crouch button when running to begin a slide whether running downhill or not.

Swing on buildings. Starting December 11 at 10 AM ET, Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters will be available for FREE for a limited amount of time. You can use them to swing on buildings — the Daily Bugle included!

When knocked into a Down But Not Out state, you can now crawl faster to reach the safety of your squad. You can also open Chests, sort your inventory, and open doors. However, opponents on opposing teams can no longer knock you into a Down But Not Out state. Peel off (the paper).

Quests

In Chapter 3 Season 1 weekly Quests are no longer initiated on the Island itself. Instead, you can view them in the “Quiz” page in the Lobby, so you know what you’re going to do before boarding the Battle Bus. There are three main types of Quests all These Quests are viewable from the Quests page. You can access the Quests page during a match as well.

In addition to the Daily Quests that refresh each day (9 AM ET) and can be shared among party members there are the Season and Milestone Quests that stick around the whole Season.

Completing certain numbers of Daily Season and Milestone Quests is required to earn Reward Tokens.

The user must visit the Sanctuary for a Quest that uses a communication device called simply “The Device.” Through The Device, the user will talk to The Scientist The Seven’s eccentric and sarcastic mastermind, who will guide the user through Quests that lead beyond the Season your food to unlock The Seven’s secrets.

Comradery

Working Together

Some actions in the new Island are quicker when more players chip in like reviving a knocked teammate or starting up a Reboot Van. You’ll also find special vaulted doors in your adventures that need more than one player to open. Work with your team to form an alliance with other nearby players that you’ll need if you want to survive. Some kids might be athletically superior, but for others, it might be more important to learn to be a team player. Find something that suits your child’s interests and encourage him or her to do it.

Med-Mist

You can use the new Med-Mist to heal yourself but you can also use it to heal your teammates. Whether you’re healing yourself or your allies the Med-Mist restores Health for as long as you spray it. And you can spray it while moving on foot! Be aware there’s finite ammo. Spray paint is best if you shake it well before using it. When the can of spray paint is empty, wash it and refill it.

Guzzle Juice

Drink Guzzle Juice to restore Health over time. You can consume a Guzzle Juice to restore Health slowly over time or consume a Guzzle Juice in a short time, but it will affect you for a shorter time.

The People

The Former Loopers

Though it’s a new land to you, it’s been long occupied by The Seven and other freed people, like you. Talk to Characters like Guaco at Greasy Grove Bunker Jonesy at The Joneses and Lil’ Whip at Coney Crossroads to exchange Bars for goods or services.

Spider-Man, Tanking Hulk, Wolverine, and More are joining the Battle Pass Line-Up. Spider-Man joins 10 other heroes in the Battle Pass Line-Up, including Rocket Raccoon and Iron Man.

You can put Web-Shooters on anyone’s shoulders, whether they are Spider-Man or someone else. Each character, including Spider-Man, gets 10 Web-Shooters at the start of the game, with the Chapter 3 Season 1 Battle Pass, more Web-Shooters unlock.

The “Lotus Walker” Shanta was unlocked immediately with the Battle Pass.
The wanderer Ronin.
The no-nonsense Lt. John Llama.
The gumbo must have a distinct flavor, but it should also be true to the Cajun way of life.
The optimistic outlaw Harlowe.
The Island-raised and Island-defending Haven.

Later on in the season, unlock the leader in The Seven The Foundation.

And speaking of Spider-Man keep an eye out for new Spideys dropping into the Item Shop throughout the Season!

The Weather

After the storm fades, the Island is hit by more bad weather. Later in the chapter, see the effects of lightning and spin around in and get shot out of tornadoes.

The Wildlife

Speaking of things to come researchers believe there’s a new addition to wildlife on this Island. Researchers theorize this species is quite large which is why they surprised they haven’t seen it yet.

The Islands Raptors, which were previously seen on the island, have rarely seen the new one. Perhaps they’re afraid of the supposed beast?

Some Road (or Off-Road) Rules 🚚🚗

Shopping Carts and all-terrain karts (ATKs) have returned to the vault, but quadcrashers are out of the vault!
Vehicles now take considerably more damage from explosives than before. Also, vehicles are now repaired by campfires faster than before.

Competitive notes:

A new Chapter means a new start. We are removing the Arena Preseason for this Season only. Enjoy the extra time to find your Duos partner!
The “Towel” item is not included in any competitive playlists.
We’ve updated the Tournament Details section for tournaments to show the total score for each placement threshold instead of the additional points each placement threshold earns. We believe this provides a clearer picture to our competitors.
- *Points earned from tournaments will flow as they would in a normal tournament. These points will increment as you progress, and they will continue to update once you earn enough points into the next threshold
