Fortnite, Season 3 Chapter 2 is official: what changes

Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 2 has been released: the map has changed its face, leaving a lot of room for water. Here are all the news of the new season

Summer is coming to Fortnite as well. Season 3 Chapter 2 has officially begun and the water will be the predominant theme, as you can guess from the name given by Epic Games to the new season: Dive. One of the protagonists of the Battle Pass will be Aquaman, as we had already guessed in recent days after the clues published by Epic Games and the trailer that anticipated the update released in the morning of June 17.

A lot of meat put on the fire by the U.S. software house: Fortnite needed a major change to revitalize the game and has arrived. The map, one of the elements most targeted in the game in the last period, has undergone major changes, thanks mainly to the water that has now flooded much of the island. The Agency is practically disappeared and surrounded by water. Epic Games, has announced that slowly the water will recede and leave room for new places and new roads will open. Among other new features there are also new vehicles, as shown in the trailer released this morning.

Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 2: all the news

The most important news concerns the map. Epic Games has listened to the many complaints of users and has profoundly changed the island. Water has become the predominant theme and will also become a factor during the games: those who know how to use it at its best will have a considerable advantage. The other factor that changes the gameplay had already been introduced on Monday during the event The Device: the storm has given way to a wall of water insurmountable that “sucks” everything that meets.

Epic Games, however, warned players: with the passage of time the water will retrograde and leave room for new places. It’s a smart choice by the software house, which in this way creates even more hype about the video game.

Some of the game dynamics are also new. The waterways are infested with sharks that eat any object found in the vicinity, but if you are skilled you can “catch” them on the fly and turn them into a means of transport to dart on the water. Still on the subject of vehicles, the Season 3 Chapter 2 trailer also showed the arrival of cars and trucks, a very interesting novelty that will have repercussions on the gameplay.

On the map you will also encounter new enemies: unscrupulous marauders have been added, whose only objective is to endanger the lives of the players.

For those who love customizations, it is now possible to modify the umbrella, which in fact becomes Custombrella. By leveling up and completing daily challenges you can unlock some customizations to change your umbrella.
