WELCOME TO FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE CHAPTER 4 SEASON 1

In the fourth Chapter of Fortnite’s Battle Royale, go forth in a new realm and get around in new ways — ride a dirt bike, roll in a snowball, launch yourself with the Shockwave Hammer, and hurdle over obstacles. Power yourself up with Reality Augments and claim territory for your squad, leaving behind Banners to declare what’s yours. And of course, venture with newly-forged weapons.

THE NEW ISLAND: YOUR DOMAIN… BUT ALSO YOUR ENEMIES’

After the events of Chapter 3’s finale, a new Island has formed. Here are just some of the sights you’ll encounter in this realm:

This headquarters of the Reality Warriors is located among the snowy mountains. Speaking of snow, hit snow with your Pickaxe to create a snowball, jump inside the snowball, then get rolling. You can attack enemies this way too…

WAIT, WHAT’S THAT ROCK?

If you venture to the Shattered Slabs mining facility, you’ll notice Kinetic Ore. Pull off physics sorcery with Kinetic Ore to strategically attack your opponents. 

STEER YOUR DIRT BIKE STEED

One of the many ways to get to these places? The trusty, two-wheel Trail Thrasher. Perform tricks on this dirt bike and use weapons as you ride.

Look out for the Hulk smashing his way into the Item Shop soon!

FORTIFY YOURSELF WITH REALITY AUGMENTS

At intervals in your match, you’ll be given a randomized choice of two Reality Augments. The longer you remain in the match, the more Reality Augments you’ll collect. Reality Augments last until the match’s end.

One of the 22 Day 1 Reality Augments: Soaring Sprints. While sprinting, you’ll be able to jump much higher — and jump with lower gravity.

Don’t like your randomized options? Reroll them for another chance at your faves, or maybe one you’ve never chosen before. Mix and match Reality Augments and find your favorite combo to support your next Victory Royale!

GO FORTH BY HURDLING FORWARD

If you sprint at obstacles, you’ll now hurdle over or onto them. Use this slick maneuver in your pursuit of victory.

SEIZE A NEW SLATE OF WEAPONS

Venture with a fresh set of weapons on the Island. You’ll see returning ones too, but here’s a rundown of what’s new:
