With autumn fast approaching, Fortnite is ready to say goodbye to its summer theme. Bent chapter three season four features one of the biggest gameplay tweaks since Epic made the mode a permanent part of Fortnite rotation in .
A new substance called Chrome is taking over the island, and you can use it to your advantage to get ahead of other players. You can throw chrome vials at walls to go through them and at your feet to become a blur that is faster and immune to fire and falling damage. As a Chrome drop, you also gain the ability to launch yourself through the air, allowing you to get up close and personal with your enemies quickly.
Chrome has also changed the island. You’ll find a new point of interest called the Harbinger’s Shrine next to the Abandoned Shrine. Other locations, like Condo Canyon, are now up in the air as they try to find a safe haven from the substance. Smaller gameplay tweaks include a buff for sniper rifles. Oh, and sliding towards other players will now knock them down.
Of course, a new season also means a new battle pass, and this one comes with a lot of great skins. The highlight is Spider-Gwen, but there’s also a nifty skating cat and what looks like a bear inside a werewolf costume for players to unlock. Season four is available to play starting today.
