Early patch notes for Season 3 of Fortnite Chapter 5
Fallout crossover
Thanks to the popular series on Amazon Prime that gamers adore for its fidelity to the video game brand, the Fallout series is still generating a lot of anticipation. The highly anticipated Fallout World crossover has finally made its way to Fortnite, bringing with it new weapons and T-60 Power Armor skins.
There is also a hint that a new point of interest (POI) will be added to the map that resembles a nuclear factory from Fallout. Additionally, a Black Knight variant of the T-60 Battle Pass skin was shown in the teaser, indicating that it will be customizable.
Fresh POIs
With the release of Season 3, new points of interest (POIs) in the double exposure style were teased in all three of the Fortnite picture teasers. These POIs will be added to the Chapter 5 map. Three of those are named Nitro Drome, The Shark (a re-creation of the famous Chapter 2 POI), and Fallout (a reference to the Fallout world).
Some of these, like Fencing Fields, will take the place of the current points of interest on the map, according to teasers for Fortnite Spain. In addition, there are rumors that the advent of these new locales may bring about significant modifications to both Snooty Steppes and Brawler’s Battleground.
Skins for Battle Pass
Many skins have been polled by players throughout Fortnite Chapter 5, with some even tipped to appear in the next Season 3 Battle Pass. In the Epic video teaser, one of them was seen donning a Red Helmet.
Some have been decoded by leakers like ShiinaBR, who predict they’ll show up in the next season. The remainder are also favorites to be included in the Battle Pass, with the Fallout T-60 Armor and Red Helmet character confirmed to be in-game skins.
Classic weapons are back, along with a few new ones
Combat AR will return to Fortnite in Chapter 5 Season 3, as hinted at by the T-60 Power Armor teaser, but in a new model that can be modified with a mod bench. Moreover, it’s also said that the Combat Shotgun will make a similar comeback to the treasure pool.
But there were also four new weapons shown in the teaser: a flamethrower, a grapple hook, a laser rifle, and a minigun. These are all expected to be added as new weapons when the season becomes available.
Players also believe that a Nuka Cola consumable would be added to the game because the teaser revealed a bottle-shaped item that gives players incredible speed.
A fresh wave of partnerships
Every season of Fortnite introduces a fresh partnership to the game along with a mid-season event designed to keep players interested. With new Mythics and a mini-pass, the Avatar: Elements event captivated players in Chapter 5 of Season 2.
Chapter 5 Season 3 will bring a number of crossovers, including Fall Guys, Marvel, Metallica, Disney, and Pirates of the Caribbean, according to sources.
Vehicles with armor and mods
A number of Monster Trucks and other vehicles from the upcoming Fortnite season were spotted at the most recent Monster Jam 2024 event, which may indicate that more vehicles will be added to the game. Additionally, content developers received a remote-controlled automobile with hooks for attaching a weapon and an armored front.
This sparked rumors among players that moddable cars will soon be available in Fortnite. But when Mark Rein, co-founder of Epic Games, alluded to the possibility of weapon attachments on vehicles being added to the game, the rumors became a tease.
Other modifications
In addition, other modes, as well as the overall gameplay and user interface for players, will undergo a number of major changes in the upcoming Fortnite season. These are all of them:
- There will be separate timers for every item in the item shop.
- Pro Lead and Pro Bass song parts are now supported by Fortnite Festival on PC and console without the need for a guitar controller.
- There will be a new Battle Bus design unveiled.
That’s all the information we currently have about the forthcoming Fortnite season.
