Every bit expected, all those meteorites we've seen flying around in the sky accept come crashing downwards, creating a few new areas to explore and leveling i popular landing spot (don't worry, Tilted Towers is however there). We're also getting a ton of new skins and other cosmetics, which you can unlock by paying for a Battle Pass (950 V-Bucks, or near $ten.)

Season 4 starts at present and runs through July 9. Here's everything you need to know.

Map Changes

When that comet finally hit the ground it landed right on Dusty Depot, creating a huge crater in the map and a new area called Dusty Divot. The area is filled with small structures, trucks, and tons of boodle. The surrounding crater is also covered in smaller meteor fragments chosen Hop Rocks, which will give you a temporary anti-gravity boost that lets you spring a lot higher than usual.

Beyond Dusty Divot, season 4 also adds a new area to the Fortnite Battle Royale map chosen Risky Reels. Information technology's a drive-in cinema, complete with the giant projector screen that the comet burst through in the season 4 announcement video. Otherwise, information technology's a pretty elementary fenced in surface area with a few structures, a bunch of cars, and some loot.

Moisty Mire got a minor upgrade as well. In keeping with the cinematic theme of season 4, yous'll discover a movie prepare in the mire. The rest of the map (including the withal-standing Tilted Towers) is pockmarked with pocket-sized craters caused by the comet as well, but these don't seem to much of an outcome on actual gameplay.

New Skins and Other Corrective Items

Fortnite added a ton of new cosmetics to unlock in flavour four, including seven fresh skins, five new emotes, and a new feature called Sprays (basically graffiti tags you can exit on structures in the game).

If you pay for a Season 4 Battle Laissez passer you'll automatically unlock ii new skins: a military commando called Battlehawk and a futuristic exosuit titled Carbide. At tier 23, y'all'll get Teknique, which looks like some sort of DJ, and tier 47 unlocks Zooey, a female person skin with green pigtails and a pink outfit. There'southward also a Wonder Woman-inspired superhero skin called Valor (tier 71), some other commando-type pare named Squad Leader (tier 87), and, finally, a very cool exosuit chosen Omega (tier 100).

As for the emotes, the most exciting improver is probably Orangish Justice (tier 26), which is based off a fan submission that went viral. At that place's also an eating popcorn emote (tier 31), a quick manus gesture titled Respect (tier 54), and two more dance moves named Hype (tier 63) and Groove Jam (tier 95).

You tin can as well unlock v new Trails (the stuff that comes out of your character as they fall from the omnibus at the start of each game), including hearts (tier 86) and lightning (tier 50), along with two new Back Bling options, three new Gliders, and two new Axes. Finally, in that location are 33 new Sprays (those graffiti tags), starting with a big "X" at tier 3.

Gameplay Changes

The biggest change to Fortnite Boxing Royale gameplay is those Hop Rocks, which really add together a new dynamic to combat and building. Being able to jump manner up in the air and slowly float downwardly makes it a lot easier to get a tiptop advantage on your enemies. It also lets yous accept some shortcuts in your fort building, since you don't need to brand as many ramps as you go up.

Otherwise, the comet shouldn't make make of an bear on on bodily gameplay. Those smaller craters could provide some cover and requite you a clear spot to run across upwardly with teammates, merely that's about it. For the nigh part, this is the same Fortnite: Boxing Royale you know and love, just with a bunch of new items and a few changes to the map.
