PHASE THROUGH WALLS

\n

\"Fortnite

Not even wood, stone, brick, or metal is a match for Chrome. An enemy built a structure for defense? Throw a Chrome Splash at the walls to make the walls penetrable — jump right through the building and get the drop on your opponent!

\"Fortnite

\n

Chrome Splash.

\n
\n

\n
THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE

\n

\"Fortnite

You can’t beat it, so be it: throw down a Chrome Splash to Chrome-ify yourself. You’ll be pure Chrome for a limited time, meaning you’ll be immune to fire damage and… become a Blob when sprinting. But don’t let this bulbous form fool you. While Blobbed, you'll move faster, be immune to fall damage, and gain the ability to air dash. Dash into any building piece to Chrome-ify it then phase through it!

\n
\n

\n
HOME SWEET CHROME

\n

\"Fortnite

Chrome’s not only taking over points of interest, it’s built a brand new one. Ascend Herald’s Sanctum (near the abandoned Sanctuary) and stand atop this tower of honorable and hexagonal foundations.

\n
\n

\n
A NEW KIND OF HIGH GROUND

\n

\"Fortnite

In their fear of Chrome, some Island locations are seeking “safety” in the air — most notably Condo Canyon. Now called Cloudy Condos, attack from above in this expanding POI. One way to get up there? Use a D-Launcher, available in different places on the Island to help you gain higher ground.

\"Fortnite

\n

D-Launcher.

\n

\n
BETTER WITH AGE

\n

\"Fortnite

\n

EvoChrome Shotgun.

\n


Chrome’s introduction caused the creation of the EvoChrome Shotgun and EvoChrome Burst Rifle. Find these weapons from Chrome Chests, then see their rarity increase the more you damage opponents with them. Take ‘em from Uncommon to Mythic!

Speaking of weapons, Sniper weapons across the board (including ones still vaulted) have had their damage and their headshot multipliers increased. Expert marksmen and trickshotters rejoice, because now one shot could be all it takes to send someone back to the Lobby. Keep your head on a swivel and — if your aim is on-point — one-shot opponents with certain Snipers once again. (Even in Zero Build!)

KEYS TO SUCCESS

\n

\"Fortnite

Becoming Chrome isn’t the only way to unlock your potential. There’s a good chance you’ll come across Keys on the Island — use them to open Vaults containing loot! Low-Security Vaults require one Key to open, while High-Security Vaults require two (for the reward of more items!). Where to find this locked loot? After collecting one or more Keys, you’ll see keyhole signs on your map to help you out.

BUNKER DOWN

Under assault from enemies? Deploy potent cover fast with a Port-A-Bunker, taking the place of the Port-A-Fort this Season. Throw down the Port-A-Bunker to create an instant 1x1 structure featuring reinforced metal walls, a versatile ramp, doors, and defensive tires to bounce away would-be-invaders — no building required!

\n
\n

All the leaked vehicles that haven't came out yet (probably for S4):

- Planes - Updated recently.
- Motorcycles - Leaked early this season.
- New Mech - Leaked early this season.

- Leaked in Ch2S7 (probably scrapped): Rally Car, Party Van, Dune Buggy, City Bus, Sport Truck, HMV

Some gameplay stuff that got leaked past 2 seasons, probably for S4:

- Motorcycles
- First-Person
- 50v50 (Zero Build)
- Storm King
- Iron Man Gloves
- Mech v2
- Updated Planes
- Halloween Goo Boss
- Sand Borrow updated to \"Blob\"
- Squad Heal Item
- Super Storm Item
- Saddle

One of the upcoming mechanics that has been teased by dataminers for numerous seasons now is the frst-person mode within Fortnite.

HYPEX has noted that it appears the mode itself has been updated rapdily in the leadup to the new season.

\n

So, we could potentially see this come in Chapter 3 Season 4!

\n

Furthermore, there's been some leaks and rumors regarding the overall theme of Chapter 3 Season 4. A lot of players are speculating that since this is Fortnite's 5th birthday, we could see a whole throwback season, encompassing all the loot and characters from over the years.

\n

As well, it seems players are open to this theme, as per HYPEX's poll on Twitter
