Everything new in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4

Jaxon Published September 19, 2022

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here, following one of the more popular Fortnite seasons in recent memory.

As is always the case with a new Fortnite season, we have some map changes, new items, and more to go over before hopping into Fortnite for the first time.

Let’s take a look at what we got!

New locations

The map changes are typically the most significant updates to new Fortnite seasons, and Chapter 3 Season 4 is no different.

Chrome has taken over the map and transformed several of the existing POIs.

The changes include:

• New POI: Shimmering Shrine
• Daily Bugle is now Lustrous Lagoon
• Logjam Woodworks is now Logjam Junction
• Sanctuary is now Herald’s Sanctum
• The Jonses is now Fort Jonsey
• Reality Falls is now Reality Tree
• Condo Canyon is now Cloudy Condos

Although these are all of the major changes, there are still some biome swaps and other smaller map adjustments. Drop in and take a look!

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 loot pool changes

Apart from map changes, the update to the loot pool is the most interesting part of every new Fortnite season.

Like every season, we have a list of vaulted and unvaulted items that keeps the loot pool feeling fresh.

We also have a few new items in Chapter 3 Season 4 – not so many as other new seasons, but this list will grow as Season 4 progresses.

New mechanic: Slide Kick

Sliding has been in Fortnite since Chapter 3 began, but Epic added a new wrinkle to it in Season 4.

• Up next: Forsen shows how a God Gamer drives a boat in Fortnite

Now, you’ll be able to kick your opponent back by sliding into them – a milder version of hitting someone with a car.

It’s not a game-changer, but it’s another quality-of-life improvement to go along with everything else added to Chapter 3 Season 4.
